This gem from last year was a very pleasant surprise. The first recommendation to pop up when I paid a visit to Netflix, it looked Christmassy enough for me, so I thought … why not? Per usual, I had to check the cast out on IMDB. Except for Amy Jo Johnson (who plays the mother), […]
Okay. They’re not everywhere, but it sure feels like it. We’d been wanting a companion for Jack, who still seems to miss Shadow after more than a year, so I was kind of on the lookout for just the right puppy … and I found him. Except he had a sibling, or at least a […]
Earlier this week, my uncle posted something on Facebook for an event called Shawhaven Farms Holiday Lights. Their website says they have more than 40,ooo. They actually have around 65,000 and let me tell you, it’s awesome! My daughter and I decided we were going to go around six o’clock this evening but it had […]
After getting ten inches of hair chopped off in August - after asking the stylist to take three inches off - I’ve been considering cutting my own hair again. I probably won’t, but I’ve been thinking about it - and what life was like before I stopped doing it about six years ago. Yes, I […]
I know I’ve used this song a few times, but it’s really the only one I can find that is so appropriate for so many situations… ~~~ Recently, I’ve run into two people like the ones in the video. Last week, someone took a parking spot I’d been waiting for, and today… Well today, I […]
Okay, so I probably wouldn’t give an entire kingdom for stuffing (or dressing, depending on which part of the country you’re from), but I’m surely hoping that my latest experiments will turn out something edible. Maybe even good. Yum……….. You see, it’s been close to two years since I’ve been able to enjoy stuffing with […]
I first saw this 2011 movie last year. I hadn’t been sure what to expect. I was only familiar with two cast members, Jayne Eastwood who plays Gloria in Haven (one of my favorite things) and Amy Smart. As far as I know, the only other thing I’ve seen her in is Rat Race, one […]
It’s hard to believe that next year, The Breakfast Club (1985) will be thirty years old. I’m not sure how old it was when my youngest daughter found it on a movie channel, but she fell in love with it and has watched it about ten-thousand times since. I, however, have managed to avoid seeing […]
Last night, for the first time since I was fifteen, I went to a high school football game. The actual temperature was around twenty-seven degrees, but the windchill hovered near twenty. Knowing it was going to be really cold, like anyone with a lick of sense, I went prepared. Overly prepared, I thought. A pair […]
One of Webster’s definitions for hero is: a person who is admired for great or brave acts or fine qualities. I think that perfectly describes many, many soldiers throughout the world. Living in the USA, I’m especially proud of, and thankful for, those who serve(d) in our armed forces, past, present, and future. Since so […]
