My blog picture above is located in the beautiful, scenic Sedona, Arizona. We vacationed there at the end of December, 2019 thru January 2020 - right around when the pandemic began. What a chaotic year it was, too! A scary time for all of us!

I am hoping that this blog will show my creativity, heart, and soul, and reveal a little more of myself. I'm a shy person at heart and don't post too much in Newsfeed, but I love reading what others are saying.

I'm off to post my first blog...

In response to "Daylight Savings Time"

Iremember that was their reason to start Daylight Savings Time. Why they keep this up is confusing.
Some states ignore this all together. I wish mine did!

In response to "Daylight Savings Time"

Daylight savings time when it originated was to benefit farmers and seasonal workers but those days are long gone. I don't understand why it is still happening when it doesn't matter. Other than it disrupts our sleep patterns.

It takes me almost a week to adjust and then when it falls back I have to readjust... grrr.

In response to "Memories at my first Drive-in Theater "

Really, there are some still in California? Then drive-in didn't completely fall by the wayside.
I never really cared about black-and-white films. I do like sci-fi though.
The fly sounds familiar, I think I've seen it... The Hand and The Blob don't ring a bell.

There are still some around in California anyway just not many and are also usually used during the day for swapmeets on Saturday and Sundays. Many people Use to get in by the car full because it was cheaper.

Actually the invasion if the Bidy Snatchers was a black and white rerun so it had to have been made in possibly mid 1950s. It wasn't very scary. More like a Scifi.

What I got a kick if was many years later was almost better made . The Hand, The Blob. It was something to joke about.

The Fly though was classic. I like the Jeff Goldbum version of it best.

Yes, drive-ins were fun. I don't think I could watch the Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Sounds scary!

Too bad drive-ins aren't around anymore, but I guess they were going broke with not many people coming anymore.

In response to "Memories at my first Drive-in Theater "

Well yes I remember the drive-in movies too. I kind of liked it, except the time we had to leave early, right after the first movie started, because someone was sick. Can't avoid that. I was about 10 then. Later we I stead went to the wall in movies , mostly seeing Jerry Lewis ones.

Mostly I remember seeing drive-in movies, in my teens, like dumb Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I was too young to have alcohol, but that might have made it even more entertaining. We mostly laughed at them.

My most memorable drive-in movie experience was when I took my aging mother to the drive in. She'd never before been to the drive in. We saw Conan the Barbarian. We got there late so we ended up parked in the edge where the car would be slightly slanted sideways. Regardless we enjoyed that movie.

The second movie was one called Everything you wanted to know about Sex with Woody Allen in it. I knew it would be funny but still I didn't want to somehow expose my mother's mind to perversion, so I asked her if we should leave or not.

She said no, let's see it.

And so I hesitated but then decided that if she's okay with it, then I'm okay with it.

It was fun to watch, but also fun to see her laughing. . I'll never forget that moment.

Lmao. Oops. Typo. Not 213 years. That would make me ancient. I meant 3 years.

In response to "First Day of Spring Today"

I agree with you on that as far as the weather not staying consistent and being what we considerto be Spring weather.

I hate when it dries that. One day it's sunny, like today. It was warm enough to sit outside in my patio, without a sweater on,and drank my coffee. Yet tonight the temperature will drop drastically, and maybe tomorrow it will be rainy and cold.

It's enough to make people sick. Lately I e had to low my nose often or it gets itchy and drives me crazy. I've not been sick in about 2l3 years and would like to stay that way.

Oh my Minnesota. I heard the weather gets pretty cold there.

In response to "First Day of Spring Today"

I agree, even if it says Spring on the calendar doesn't make it so.
It's still chilly in Minnesota, yesterday it was 46 degrees, and today it's 26 degrees.
We have the yo-yo effect going on.

First Day of Spring Today

The first day of spring is officially here today. We have already seeded out tomatoes in the greenhouse, and they are beginning to sprout new growth.

I can't wait to put my winter coat and gloves away - I want the days to warm up once again. We had a lot of snow this winter, and can't wait for it all to melt away. I love Spring - when all the trees sprout new growth, and the grass turns green after a good rain. The flowers, such as the tulips, start to bloom those pretty colors of yellow, red, and pink which are the colors in our garden.

Spring is a miraculous experience. The whole world comes alive after the winter in which everything seems dead, and everything comes alive, and my life is filled with color and wonderful scents surrounding me once again. The world that seemed so dull and cold has come alive. Spring gives me hope for rejuvenation in all our lives as well, and going out and enjoying the beautiful spring weather (without coats and gloves).
