The pictures below are of my three granddaughters and my son and youngest daughter. I figured whoever read this would know that.

Spring Break

Well, it is my first official day of spring break and am I ever happy. I rested pretty well this weekend so I can now get started with all the things I need to do that I don't have time to do when I am in school. I have a list and I'm checking it twice!! It will be nice to have two full weeks! I will be ready to go back. Weather is cool and cloudy - my favorite! I can wear jeans and a sweatshirt. I have already read two books - crazy about William Bernhardt, but have not watched much tv. It's quiet around here - sort of considering they are putting in a pool next door - the kids are still in school and off next week. God is good!

Entertainment

It is no secret that I LOVE TV and movies. I watch something almost every night and we rent lots of movies. This weekend I saw two outstanding movies. One was Facing the Giants, the other was Daddy's Little Girls. They both inspired me and I cried through them both. I think because they were faith-based they spoke to me at a much deeper level, then let's say "Stranger Than Fiction," which we also watched this weekend. "Stranger..." made me laugh and feel good, however. Tyler Perry, who produced "Daddy's..." does such amazing movies. I absolutely LOVE his work and will go to see all of his movies. They encourage me and they give me hope in humanity. Facing the Giants was produced and completely made by a church in Georgia. I don't know if it was a true story or not, but it could have been - realistic fiction, maybe. Well, that's all for now. Happy movie-going! By the way, who is your pick for American Idol?

Noise, Noise, Noise

Well, living in Southern California is nice most of the time, but the area we live in is growing like a wild fire. The houses are super close together and you HEAR every little noise. It doesn't help that the young love motor bikes, mini bikes, dirt bikes, talking loud, screaming, and loud music. Now, I'm worried because our neighbors right next door are putting in a pool. They have four screaming kids ages 6 to about 15. OH NO! Do you think I can bear it? The pool company has already broken our fence putting it in. It was a nice fence too. Only thing is that neighbor put the fence in - we paid for half of it. Also, the kids hang out all night in the street. Not to mention all the littering that goes on here. I will survive. It is bothering me less than when we first came from relatively quiet Crestwood. Anyone else with this problem?

READING

Why do I love reading so much? Last weekend I didn't do ANYTHING but read about a book and a half. I read different genres, but I seem to be really enjoying law or psychological thrillers lately. That's not only what I read, but today I've been reading Junie B. Jones to my class with them following along and it is just FUN! They love it too! I don't have enough room in my house to support all the books I have had over the years. Right now my wall-long bookcase is full and doubled even - if you can understand that. Anyone else out there with this addiction?
