Let’s Watch a Classic Romantic Movie or Two!
I know this is the end of the month and I probably should have done this post the beginning of the month, but I was watching my favorite classic movies. So I’ll take you back and let’s face it, there is probably enough winter left to watch a few movies. First stop on this cinematic…

Falling for Romance, Action, Suspense & Humor
I was eleven when I fell in love with romance. Audrey Hepburn wasn’t the first actress who helped that happen. Probably. Maybe. The order of movies and books is a bit confused in my memory.

Not sure I’d call them so bad they are…

Do You “Heart” Disney, too?
I wish I was there, sitting on one of those rocks. Even though the adult me knows they are hard, even with the “cushion of age” on my tush. And that stretching a swim suit over that cushion is…well…yeah. I blame it on Walt Disney. Think about all the things his movies made seem magical…
