I do not remember watching Julia Child. I think I presumed I would not like her, and that she was rather ’stuck-up.’ Never presume!

What can I say about Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince? Out of five people in my house: one has not seen it, three did not think it was as good as the other movies and one, ME, absolutely loved it, and since it is MY blog. I get to rave about it. I [...]

The boys have wanted me to purchase Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix for some time now. I gave in and bought it the other day. The only thing is that, things being things, they did not have the wide screen version and I did not notice till we were home. Drats!
We had [...]

It’s raining in Indiana. And, just how many times have I said that? Way too many! I like the rain but today it is a cold rain that keeps me from going out to my studio to get a couple of Christmas gifts made and I am afraid that I have, yet again, waited too [...]

Okay, I have lived with four teenage boys, long enough to know that if they hand me a movie and say, “Grandma, you’ve just got to watch this.” My first question should be, and was, “Is this a shoot em up and kill them movie.”

There are two people in our family who are just so funny that you love to be around them and often the comment is heard, “if we could get Sharon and Carol together one day, we would die from laughter.”
Sharon lives in Indiana and Carol in Wisconsin, so it has not happened yet, but Sharon [...]
