We are visiting Colb & Whit in 29 Palms. We stumbled onto an airshow and Pearl Harbor Commemoration today in Palm Springs. What a treat. Gun fights and airplane shows above our heads! Too much good food! Colb made some steaks, augratin potatoes, and beans for dinner. Whit looks cute as a button.

Twilight, the movie.

My expectations were low, I didn't want to set myself up for disappointment. Can I tell you I loved it! I went with my Mother, Sister, one niece and her friend. The theatre was silent. There were sparkles in the air. The theatre was packed and we had stood in line one hour early to pick our seat. (No pun intended.) I am easily entertained and was mesmerized by the character portrayals and the special effects and scenery. I haven't read the books for quite sometime and rarely re-read things....but I may consider starting over again. I know there was a lot left out but those can just be our special secrets. If they could have put everything in it would more likely have been a mini-series or an afternoon soap opera. I plan to see it again, hopefully take my husband.

With that all said, I have talked to a lot of people who did not enjoy the film. Their theatres were uncomfortable and loud. I feel bad for them and would tell them to maybe plan to go again and take someone different to see if their take on the whole thing changes.

I wish I were a Vampire.

Happy 24th Colby! You did the greatest Erkel! Love You More....Mom

Fall is the most beautiful time of year! I love to see the leaves fall from the trees and make piles around the yard. I can hear the leaves crackle under my feet as I walk and kick them around. What amazing colors nature makes.

Navajo Sister

We made a quick trip to Gallup New Mexico. It was good to see Helen again and meet her children, sisters, brother, and all the family... She has many good friends and although very sad at the loss of her eldest son she seemed to be holding up. The brothers and sisters wore blue bandanna's on their heads to honor their brother. We ate at a luncheon at the Chapter House. We had chicken, turkey, pistachio and potato salads, and mutton soup. This was all served to us by the young girls of the family. People introduced themselves to us and made conversation with us.
