• Peter Pan (2003)

    Yesterday was Christmas Day, and a hallmark day for our family. We went to the movies. First time ever on going on Christmas Day. Another first was that this was the first time our entire family went to the theatre together, and the first time any of the children had ever been to the theatre…


  • Shoe Laces

    I’m writing about shoe laces because they bring such frustration! Many years ago (about 15) I bought a pair of ankle lace-up granny boots, on clearance for $15 at The Wild Pair, a shoe store. Sometime in the last 4 years one of the laces broke. Ok fine. Go buy a new pair. That became…


  • TTT Extended DVD – Pt. I

    We finally watched TTT Extended yesterday. It was good. The DVD’s played alright. Only one scene SEEMED to freeze, but it was a second and a half, which one, eek, can’t remember, but it went right into the next chapter fine. Further viewings will atest to the working of the extended version discs. Hmm, the…


  • Pumpkin Pie — Happy Thanksgiving!

    Happy Thanksgiving to All! It’s nearly over, a day of thanks and feasting. We are set to have pumpkin pie with real whipped cream in a bit, when the beaters chill off in the freezer enough to whip up the cream. Here’s the recipe for the pie, taken from Nourishing Traditions, (originally 1 pie) Pumpkin…


  • Holidays, Celebrations, Cold Weather

    We have our first forecasted freeze warning for the season tonight. We had Summer all over again last week. Now it’s back to Autumn weather, with the “close to Winter” stuff happening, nearly right on time. Nov 15th is the normal “first freeze” date for this area of the South. Puts one in the mood…


  • Encyclopedia Wiki Style

    en.wikipedia.org/ Cool link. A Wiki Encyclopedia … and no ads. More than cool. If you don’t know what a Wiki is, it might be a bit confusing. It’s worth knowing what a Wiki is though, it’s a growing trend to find good resources in a Wiki format. I’m not the one to explain a Wiki…


  • The Great Music – “Classical”

    The Classical genre is my favorite type of music … and I love many of periods that are generally called “Classical” by the masses. Right now I’m listening to Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for String Orchestra in C Major, Op. 48. It’s done by the Chamber Orchestra of the St. Petersburg Conservatory. I’m not claiming this is…


  • The Matrix: Reloded on DVD

    Reloded came to theatres in March. We didn’t go. Movies are expensive when young children are involved. It’s just plain easier to wait for the DVD to come out to see the flicks we want to see. So between then and now, the most heard thing was “the sex scene in The Temple”. What a…


  • Jane Austen

    I’ve loved all the Jane Austen novels brought to “life” as movies the past several years. I admit openly here that I’ve never read one of them. Finances being tight, since I’ve been compelled to actually read the stories of late, I only recently was able to come into contact with a volume that I…


  • Death

    One of my cats died last week. It was horrific, finding her unable to move herself, except that she could move her head and body a bit, but not get up and walk or anything. She died within a few hours. It was so emotional for me and our two eldest children. Of course my…
