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.

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

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.

Biden's Open Border Policy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHctCo32_pU - If you want to watch what is really going on at the border.

I'm concerned, that's why I'm blogging about it. The U.S. borders is now open to anyone wishing to come into out country. Would you let any Tom, Dick, and Harry come into your home? Well, this is what is happening to our country! Anyone can come, no matter wherever that is, and they are coming in droves. Why? For the free stuff that is being offered by the Biden Administration.

The United States is being overpopulated, meaning our schools will suffer; unless, your child is going to a private school. I can't imagine teaching children who can't speak English. How is that done? There are so many question going through my mind.

First of all, there are no background checks, so if these people have a criminal background, it's unknown. We have enough crime on our streets as it is!

Second, they are not being tested for covid-19 or any other disease that they may be carries of. This is worrisome to a lot of people, not just me.

Third, the drug cartel are happy with our open border policy. Drugs are pouring into our country, along with human trafficker's. Even children of all ages are coming without their parents by smugglers called coyotes. What happens to them once they cross? Nobody really knows for sure. I, as a parent, could never do this, so this makes me wonder what these parents are thinking? Do they want their children to have a better life this badly that they are willing to pay huge sums to these coyotes just to bring them here.

Maybe I'm worrying over nothing, but I don't think so. Maybe this all will be straightened out over time, but how much more can our country stand before our economy is ruined beyond repair.

So it's home again, and home again, America for me! My heart is turning home again, and there I long to be, In the land of youth and freedom beyond the ocean bars, Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of stars.
~Henry Van Dyke,
