Only managed to get one-and-a-half pages written yesterday, because I got wrapped up in movies.
First, in the afternoon, I saw that Gospel Movie Channel (or is it Gospel Music Channel?) was showing the 1996 made-for-TV movie Home Song, based on the novel by LaVyrle Spencer. Spencer used to be my absolute favorite author ever, and [...]

Just a Few (Mostly) Non-Political Ramblings on Election Day
Hi Everyone!
Would you believe that 38% of registered Florida voters had already voted prior to Election Day? Crazy. Brian and I had originally planned to vote early—to avoid long lines—but discovered the “long lines” were at the early polling places. Thanks to all those who did vote early, we were able to walk in to [...]

The Movie That Makes Me Cry Every Time
Am I a sap, or what? I absolutely cannot watch this movie without crying. There are certain scenes that I am best off watching from the kitchen doorway, where my family cannot witness my teary-eyed-ness.
What is it about Tarzan, anyway?
First, I think it’s the relationship between Tarzan and Kala, his gorilla “mom.” She loves him [...]

Fun Movie
Have you ever seen The Parent Trap? The one with Hayley Mills, I mean. I’d nearly forgotten how much I love that movie, it had been so long since I’d watched it last.
Last night I was feeling restless. Had a bunch of clothes to fold and didn’t feel like listening to the radio. There was [...]

Father’s Day, This ‘n’ That
I’m not sure there are any fathers who read this blog, but I’ll say Happy Father’s Day anyway!
My husband’s birthday always falls within a few days of Father’s Day, which means I always have to put on my proverbial thinking cap to come up with gift ideas for him. This year, it’s been all about [...]

Boys on Horses, Etc.
We went to a birthday party this past Saturday at a local place called “The Painted Pony.” The kids all got to have horseback rides—they had a blast.
Here are a few pics from that. (I took liberties with my photo editing program on Levi’s and Charlie’s, but Urban told me he liked his [...]

A Few Thoughts on the New “Sense & Sensibility” Movie Adaptation
The past two Sundays, I’ve watched Sense & Sensibility on “Masterpiece Theater” (which they are now calling just “Masterpiece,” but that still sounds weird to me).
The other night I had some fun reading reviews of the DVD at Amazon. For the most part, people really seem to enjoy this movie version of the Jane [...]

A Few Fine Things
Last year, I had strep throat three times. Since my last bout, I’ve had to deal with tonsillitis on a couple of occasions, but it was never “bad enough” that I felt I needed to rush in to see the doctor. This time, the sore throat is aggravating, and I think I may [...]

To Tell the Truth…
I’ve not felt much like blogging lately. Just a post-holiday slump, I suppose. And I’ve had a lot on my mind—not all of it fit to share with all and sundry.
But I’m okay.
In the interest of keeping in touch, however, I will give you a list of random happenings/thoughts/whatnots, to tide you over [...]

Happy New Year! (Reading my life away again….)
Happy New Year!
I’m back home now, and I plan to get back to my regularly-scheduled life (with a few modifications, of course, after all, it is the New Year!) next week when my husband and eldest child go back to work/school.
For now, I am on holiday, enjoying myself in the old way, as I did [...]
