Back in January I went to a scrapbook retreat out in Primm (Stateline), Nevada. The hotel I stayed in had a small theatre. They were playing “I am Legend”. I did make a point of hitting the theatre while there because this was one movie I had wanted to see. I really enjoyed the movie, [...]

I gotta give props to my dear friend Ann for this one! She and I share a love of reading and we recommend a lot of “reads” to each other. So when I saw her last Saturday I asked her for the title of a good book. She ran through a list of books, but [...]
