Springtime in Paris: Hugo
Erin from Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs and I have been watching movies that take place in Paris this spring. Up this week was the movie Hugo. I had vaguely heard of this one before, but really didn’t know what it was about until Erin suggested it. I don’t know how I didn’t know more …

Recapping and reviewing the 1977 Hardy Boys Nancy Drew Mysteries episode The Secret of the Whispering Walls
Here we are to another episode from The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries show from 1977. As I’ve mentioned before, in the first season of this series the episodes switched back and forth from Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew episodes and in the next season they started to join together.

Easter Morn
A poem from my brother about our grandfather. For National Poetry Month, I’m sharing poems each day, one that I’ve written followed by whatever one from three sites that share a poem a day that … Easter Morn
Sunday Bookends: He is Risen! And I feel like the books I am reading are very long.
It’s time for our Sunday morning chat. On Sundays, I ramble about what’s been going on, what the rest of the family and I have been reading and watching, and what I’ve been writing. Some weeks I share what I am listening to. First things first – He has risen! He has risen indeed! Happy Easter! Remember when I was …

Saturday Afternoon Chat: Reading on the front porch
Last night I was sitting out on the porch, reading The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien, enjoying the warmer weather. I looked out at our front yard and yes, our old maple tree is missing, but it doesn’t feel as weird as it did the first few days after it was gone. One night this …

Springtime in Paris: Paris Blues
Erin from Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs and I are watching movies that take place in Paris this spring. Up this week was Paris Blue, which isn’t as happy or cheerful as the other two we watched but it’s the real Paris in the 1960s at the height of the Jazz movement. It shows the …

Coloring in illustrations in Nancy Drew books
I’ve been enjoying coloring in the black and white illustrations in “old” Nancy Drew books. These are not original Nancy Drew books from the 1930s and 1940s, but instead are reprints of those books. For those who don’t know who Nancy Drew is (like those from other countries), she is an amateur sleuth created in …

Top Ten Tuesday: Literary Friendships
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Today’s prompt is: Ten Unpopular Bookish opinions, but I decided to change the topic up and share a list of top ten literary friendships (for me anyhow) instead because I could only think of one or two unpopular bookish opinions I have. Are these two really friends? …
