What's new?


I have to make a confession and I'm somewhat embarrassed...I've become a TWIHARD. About 2 weeks ago, my daughter Sandy came down from Illinois by train to visit us and pick up her 4x4 home. She'd dropped it at our house after she and her husband moved north from Oklahoma because she was having to drive his truck and he was driving a rental van. But I digress....she carried with her on the train trip down a lethal combination of the 2 Twilight Series movies.

"Mom!" she says, "you've got to sit down and watch these DVDs with me!!!" And why is that I asked her. I don't like horror or gore and any of that stuff. I've NEVER and never will watch any of the Freddie Kreuger movies or Jason...you know the kind of stuff I mean. Sandy insisted, and I, who don't get to visit with her often, gave in. Oh, my goodness!!!! What a fire of emotions I have had lit. What I loooooove about the plots is that although they become deeply engrossed with each other and they touch and hug and kiss, there's no crossing a tasteful line. I think it's mostly because of "Edward Cullen" and his old-fashioned manners. I love the thought of it.

I'm on the last 1/4 of the fourth book I'm reading...I've had to read them out of order because I requested them from the library and read them as they've come in. I've cried over the way the music makes me feel, the storyline makes me cry because it's so beautiful.
