One step at a time.....
A friend and I were planning a trip to the Holy Land in 2000, but my dad passed away and my mom went down hill quickly. It just did not work out. Maybe some day.
Well, I need to check some pings and begin thinking about sleep. Good night-see you all tomorrow.
As promised, you and your camel are now on my homepage :) LOL
Goodnight snugs...thanks again for another great dose.
ROFLMAO!!! No, I think this is the only one. And I'm proud to have it :)
Yes she does and she's great tonight!
Psssst...I just snuck over to your home page. Very nice.
Thank you :)
Ha ha, he looks like he's got plenty of life left in him to me!!
Wow! AWESOME, maica! Just plain AWESOME!
btw, freepmail for you.
Oh yes, please do! He's a HOTTIE and I know hotties. I married one and I raised two of my own...lol.
The elder one didn't realize how absolutely gorgeous he was until his wife told him what his mother had been trying to say for years...............go figure!
Eric pretty much had everyone telling him how hot he was, so he reluctantly accepted his hottie status several years ago. ;)
WE are blessed! I am going to bed. I hope you're feeling better. See you later today. Nite, dear and cherished FRiend.
He's still cute as the dickens, isn't he? :)
Indeed, it is very interesting to me to read their observations. Thanks for getting their feedback and sharing it.
Cool to hear that #1 also cried at Sutherland's blessing scene. It was a wonderful interplay and build up through a variety of emotions and displayed a strong, loving, father-daughter relationship that seemed so much more real and deep to me when Sutherland and Knightley played it, than with Ben Wittrow (sp?) and Jennifer Ehle, although I thought BW and JE did a fantastic job in the A&E version.
Anyway.............I'm going to try again in a few minutes. The surgery, though unsedated, wiped me out and I took a nap this afternoon, and that always messes with my sleeping at night.
Fortunately, all I have to do tomorrow is finish my lesson plans, do some banking and shopping and do the Dose, so I can sleep in if necessary.
onyx, you too are a cherished FRiend. When I get discouraged by the ugly, hate-filled people who seek to discourage and wound us every moment of every day, I am only bouyed up by all the dear people here, who do what God has commanded us to do............build up and encourage each other in faith.
Thanks for sharing a place at the top of the list in doing that for me! God bless you, dear onyx!
btw, did you think Keira Knightly was too thin to be Elizabeth? JE was more Rubensesque. :)
I thought Keira's presence, form, and stature were appropriately elegant. All these together gave her a dignity that helped to counterbalance the fact that she didn't fully get a late 1700's or early 1800's belle into her head before filming. I thought she was a bit too impetuous or hasty in some of her movements and the way she attacked some of the scenes, which Austen doesn't impute to her heroine in quite such strong brush strokes.
This is from http://www.imdb.com "It was discovered at an early age that Keira had severe difficulties in reading and writing. She was not officially dyslexic as she never sat the formal tests required of the British Dyslexia Association. Instead she worked incredibly hard, encouraged by her family, until the problem had been overcome by her early teens."
