Election Day is coming...

A rollicking good time...

Mama Mia!
This movie is a hoot...
We enjoyed every bit of silliness!

Who knew!

Another movie...

Good v. Evil...
A totally testosterone action flick!

The Greatest Show on Earth...

Grandpa, Lao-Lao, and Lil Dragon went to the circus.
Lil Dragon was spellbound.
The "eldiefants" were her favorite!

Who tells the bunny?

The dating of Easter is based on the lunar calendar that the Hebrews use to identify passover, which is why it moves around on our Roman calendar. According to the formula, the earliest date for Easter to occur is March 22, a rare event that none of us will experience. This year is the earliest Easter any of us will ever see!

The next time Easter will be this early is March 23, 2228.
The last time Easter was this early was March 23, 1913, 95 years ago.
The next time Easter will be on March 22, will be in the year 2285.

The formula for calculating the day upon which Easter falls in any given year has always been a mystery to me. I've just never understood how it worked. Until now, that is!

Simply said, Easter is always the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring Equinox. That's easy! I get it! Now I just need to know who tells the Bunny!

Abe has a brand new look...

THE NEW FIVE-DOLLAR BILL HIT THE STREETS TODAY.
HAS ANYONE OUT THERE SEEN ONE YET?

Tonight's the night...

I'm not fond of turning the clocks ahead or back;
Changing the time really messes with my bio-rhythms;
And, lordy, they're screwy enough as it is;

I much prefer the natural order of time;
But we live in a governed society;
And, tonight's the night.

the robins are back....

I saw a flock of robins feeding in the grass

on Wednesday evening when I was on my way to Italian class.
It was my first sighting of the season.
Since then I've seen several each day frolicking and courting.
I love the return of robins in the spring!

Why I'm learning Conversational Italian...

The world outside my window...

November is blowing;
leaves are tumbling down.
Dancing their way across the lawn,
they pile up in corners,
shivering in the steel gray gloom.

Happy Halloween...

THE LITTLE GOBLINS WILL BE OUT FOR TRICKS AND TREATS TONIGHT

I LOVE HALLOWEEN!

Slices of serenity...

Saturday morning adventure...

BUBBA AND I HAD A DELICIOUS TIME
WANDERING THROUGH THE BUILDINGS,
DROOLING OVER THE FURNITURE, QUILTS, AND CRAFTS,
BUYING "NO-SUGAR" BAKED GOODS, JAMS & JELLIES, AND
CHOOSING FRESH PRODUCE AND DELI MEATS TO TAKE HOME

Friday night, date night...

UNDERDEVELOPED CHARACTERS AND STORYLINE
THOUGHT PROVOKING NONETHELESS
HAD LOADS OF UNTAPPED POTENTIAL

The witch is in...

Thank you, Mamao4!
When I told Mamao4 that all I needed to complete my Halloween theme this year was a sign saying "The Witch is In", she said she had one I could use. She even delivered it personally to the castle.

It looks great bungee corded to the wreath on my door.
I love flipping to the side that let's people know that the witch is out when I leave the castle and then back again when I return.
Bubba thinks I'm having entirely too much fun.

Halloween is coming...

The Castle is Ready!

Girls night out...

Lots of Chit Chat

Dinner out tonight...

Last night was date night...

KNOCKED UP...
Despite the cuteness of the trailers and promotional shots, this was one of the raunchiest movies I've ever seen. The storyline was completely destroyed by foul language and borderline pornography. Bubba and I agree that this movie gets a big thumbs down... so disappointing!
