Anna Karina DVD
Who doesn’t love Keira Knightley? Especially when she’s in a love story of the ages now available on Blu-ray and DVD. I know, I know. But I am not all scifi and action films.

My Ramblings About Jodie Fosters Ramblings
First off, I have to admit I did not watch the Golden Globes (I hate award shows), but was later “forced” into watching the Jodie Foster speech. I am not sure why folks are thinking she came out in that speech. She came out a few years back in a speech. This speech was really…

Mom’s Funeral Service
We got to the church early, but Mom’s oldest sister had already beat us there. I asked the service director to take photos of the flowers but could not bring myself to take them or to have him take any of Mom. (I know this is odd coming from someone, whose family, Dad’s side, does…

Tonights the Family Viewing
I woke up feeling worse and with white spots in the back of my throat so I called the doctor and made an appointment, even though my preferred physician was not available. They did a culture and I was told I did not have strep throat. Good not contagious. But I did have to go…

Funeral Planning
We met with the funeral home today, Labs Funeral Home. The folks who are running the funeral home go to our church and know mom and dad well. This was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do only hours after watching my mother die. I am glad we were there for…
