Some Favorite Things

Okay, here comes attempt #2 at this thing. I found the greatest difficulty I had yesterday was learning how to arrange photos. I still don't know what I'm doing, but in an effort to learn as I go, I figured I'd write about a few things that are especially pleasing to me.

The first thing on my list is the TV show, "House Hunters." I love this show. It airs on HGTV. I watch it from 10-11, M-F. The first episode is somewhere in the states, and the second one is usually somewhere fun and exciting. (Italy, France, Caribbean, etc) They show three houses and I love to guess which house will be picked by the couple. Most of the people looking for homes appear to be very nice, but there are a few nutjobs, they always make it more fun to watch.

Second on the list would be the soap opera, "All My Children." I've watched AMC since the mid 90's. I was a diehard CBS soap fan growing up. But, our office would watch AMC at lunch, and I became hooked. I go through a love/hate relationship with the show. Right now, I'm hating Ryan and Greenlee. I love Petey, and the storyline with Brot. My all time favorite character was Leo. I still miss him.

Third, may I present Jonny Lang. He is a blues guitarist/singer. I found him on XM radio, singing "Touch." He sounds like a black r/b singer. I was shocked when I looked him up, and found a skinny white guy. I bought his cd, and was blown away. The first time I saw him perform was in Durham, NC in a neat old theatre. He was amazing. He was on his acoustic tour with his band. We've seen him about five times, and he is better and better each time. He gives 110% each show. I highly recommend him!

TWILIGHT. Does anyone not know of this book and movie? I heard the author interviewed and bought the book during the summer. I gave it to my daughter (she's 16) to read. She started reading it in the evening and stayed up until 6:30 am. She finished the book when she woke. I started the book on a plane to St. Croix, and couldn't put it down. I've recommended the book to many people, of all ages and interests. Every single person LOVED it. And, what do we all say? WE LOVE EDWARD. I saw the movie last week. It evoked the same feelings that the book did. I don't think a movie can ever replicate a book, but I was very pleased with the way the movie turned out.

And, finallllyyyyyyyyyy...I love these people. They are neat friends of ours, and here we are in a beautiful place. I love my friends, I love to travel, and I love to laugh. And, this is that all wrapped up in one neat little picture.
