Young Victoria

Yesterday I went to see the wonderful film "The Young Victoria" . The movie was so much better then I thought it would be. The movie was full of great actors and they came thorough with flying colors. The movie skipped ahead in parts so you were wondering where you were in the timeline of Victoria's life. How much time passed between events was hard to tell. They did post some of the times at the bottom of the screen but it still left me wondering. Aside from that the screenplay was spectacular and the costumes were beautiful. I think everyone in the show fell in love with Rupert Friend as Prince Albert and Emily Blunt as Victoria. There was great chemistry between all the actors. The show was filled with people which was weird because it was a Monday afternoon???The people I went with felt we would like to see the movie again because there was so much to look at and watching the politics of the palace took a lot of watching. Fun time was had by all.

Do I have a site or not

I can't seem to use my gmail account anymore and I couldn't get into my blog site. Now this seems to work???? I should check my email. Maybe it works. Today I made an ATC for a California group. It had to have wings as the subject. I used humming birds as the subject and I reused a recipe card I received a couple of years ago from a swap. Now it is evening and everyone is fed and I have to say I am stuffed. I made broccoli quiche and little apple tarts in my new ramakins . I need to use up all my fruit in the freezer so I am baking like made. Yesterday I made Banana nut bread with blueberries. see what happens tomorrow with this blog site. I set up a date for Monday to see the movie Young Elizabeth. Jan and I wanted to see it and it just started showing at Sierra Cinema.

Celebrations galore in February

New day and new month and so many things to celebrate. All the President's days this month that give everyone a day off of work. Mardi Gras which means big party and in this house it means King Cake. Then we have Chinese New Years. Seems like I should do something about that day. I have been busy making Valentine's every which way, ATC's, cards and I am itching to make some heart shaped cookies. I know a lot of people don't like Valentine's day but I really enjoy it. How can people not like the beautiful hearts and doilies that are shared. Young people are figuring out how to be boyfriends and girlfriends. Should they hold hands, should they kiss? All the big questions. Wives and husbands are trying to get their spouse to remember the day or wonder what to get them to make the day special. Dinner out, a kiss, some candy, and flowers are always wonderful. I say thank you to St. Valentine for giving his life for love. Those religions really know how to martyr a guy. I am ready to celebrate all month.
