Bob Hope's Palm Springs house is nothing short of magnificent with an extraterrestrial feel...The massive, sweeping structure was designed by John Lautner, an influential American architect whose work has been regularly characterized as possessing a "space-age flair"...which probably explains the mansion's UFO feel... The estate is perched atop Southridge with a 360 view overlooking the entire Coachella Valley, among other natural Southern Californian wonders... Covering 23,000 square feet and sits on more than six acres the list of luxurious amenities includes a pool, pond, tennis court, outdoor fireplace, 360 degree views and much more.... Our Palm Springs getaway in the 1980's had an all glass view looking up hill at Bob's house which was like "King of The Mountain" it was so fabulous... Palm Springs is another celebrity hang-out especially with such mild winters but summertime was brutal with soaring temperatures 110-120 plus so we were either inside cooking...having cocktail hour or enjoying the views or tanning outside and swimming in the pool...nightly was jumping as everyone emerged from their caves and out for dinner, cocktails and shows...now it's all about the Indian Casino's in California with lavish entertainment, great restaurants and of coarse golf courses... Lyrics Thanks for the memory Of rainy afternoons, swingy Harlem tunes And motor trips and burning lips and burning toast and prunes How lovely it was! Thanks for the memory Of candlelight and wine, castles on the Rhine The Parthenon and moments on the Hudson River Line How lovely it was! Many's the time that we feasted And many's the time that we fasted Oh, well, it was swell while it lasted We did have fun and no harm done And thanks for the memory Of sunburns at the shore, nights in Singapore You might have been a headache but you never were a bore So thank you so much. Thanks for the memory Of sentimental verse, nothing in my purse And chuckles when the preacher said "For better or for worse" How lovely it was Thanks for the memory Of lingerie with lace, Pilsner by the case And how I jumped the day you trumped my one-and-only ace How lovely it was! We said goodbye with a highball Then I got as "high" as a steeple But we were intelligent people No tears, no fuss, Hooray! For us So, thanks for the memory And strictly entre-nous, darling how are you? And how are all the little dreams that never did come true? Aw'fully glad I met you, cheerio, and toodle-oo And thank you so much.
