A week.....

I can't believe its only a week till my 19th birthday . Just. A. Week. And I am sooooo not prepared to turn 19!!!!! I mean seriously , didn't I just turn 18? Huh?        

 Okay, so I am not really panicking like the above example.  But, I guess the thing that's worrying me is that 19 is just a step from the big Two-oh and that's kinda scary when you think about it. Isn't it? But, at the same time it also very exciting. :]       Another thing about turning 19 I have no heroine for the year. Yeah each year since I was 16  I have had  a heroine of the same age to look up to and feel a kind of kinship with..

This years being 18  and all it was Rapunzel.

17 was Nancy Drew.

16 Lizel von Trapp

And now I am stuck!!!! I have no book/ movie  girl character who is 19!!!!!


Anyhooo, this week I will spend pondering this past year which has been huge  and being thankful for it all the good and the bad because  in every situation I learn something and I grow. In mind, body  and spirit . And each day I know I am treading my very own path God has made for me  and becoming the woman he want sme to be.

Harry Houdini

Today is Harry Handcuff Houdini's the great magician and escape artist's  137th birthday.   I love reading about him and if I had lived back when he was alive I would have loved to be his apprentice.  anyone else love Houdini?
  Here is  link to  the Wikipedia article on him.  Ironically the last remaining member of his troupe of assistants   Dorothy Young died the other day.

His wife Willamina Beatrice Houdini Known as "Bess"  was also his stage assistant .  They had no children which is very sad I think.    Houdini was Jewish Bess was Catholic. Interesting huh?

Happy Birthday Bilbo and Frodo!!!!!!!!!!!

 Dear Hobbits ,
Today is another of Bilbo's one hundred and eleventy birthdays!!!!!!!!!
We will be celebrating  with food drink and activities in our home.
Here is Bilbo's birthday speech which I found at This Site which has the scripts to all the LOTR's movies :

[Under the party tree, the other Hobbits are gathered.]
Hobbits: "Speech, Bilbo! Speech!"
Frodo: "Speech!"

Bilbo: "My dear Bagginses and Boffins, Tooks and Brandybucks, Grubbs, Chubbs, Hornblowers, Bolgers, Bracegirdles and Proudfoots." [cheers]
Old Proudfoot Hobbit: "Proudfeet!"
[Hobbits laugh. Bilbo waves dismissively.]
Bilbo: "Today is my one hundred and eleventh birthday!"
Hobbits: "Happy birthday!"
Hobbit: "Happy birthday!"
Bilbo: "Alas, eleventy-one years is far too short a time to live among such excellent and admirable hobbits." [cheers abound.] "I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."
[There is a dead silence from the crowd. They gaze at each other blank-faced, trying to figure out if they were just insulted. Gandalf smiles.]

Bilbo: "I, uh, I h-have things to do." [fidgets with the Ring behind his back. Whispers to himself] "I've put this off for far too long."
Bilbo: [to the crowd] "I regret to announce — this is The End. I am going now. I bid you all a very fond farewell." [whispers to Frodo] "Goodbye."
[Bilbo puts the Ring on and vanishes.]
Hobbits: "Ooh!"

 May Bilbo and Frodo  both have a happy birthday. now sing with me:

"Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday dear Bilbo and Frodo!
Happy birthday to you!
Hip-pip Hooray!
Hip-pip hooray!
Hip-pip Hooray!!!!

71 Years of The Wizard of Oz!!!!!!!!

Hooray ! Today it is 71 years since The Wizard of Oz came out!!!! The year it came out my grandfather would have been 7 years old. pretty cool huh? I love this movie a ton. If I was ever offered the part of Dorothy I would roll cartwheels with joy. Judy Garland is just superb in this roll . And am I the only girl who wants ruby slippers? I would totally love to have the Dorothy outfit, including the basket and Toto. Any way here are some pictures of that astounding film,
"The Wizard of Oz!'











In case you were wondering I am a nut for this movie.

Happy 20th Birthday Kynan!!!!!

Dear Kynan
Happy 20th Birthday!!!
Its hard to believe that you are the first out of us kids to leave your teen years behind forever.
And yet today I've been thinking that even though your body and your birth certificate SAY you're 20 that doesn't mean that at heart you are.
I know I hardly ever say it and that often I just take you for granted and think that it doesn't matter but , today I think I should say it
I LOVE YOU !!!!
You're a super big brother and today I am reminded of all the times you've done things with me ,playing board games with me,when I was littler reading to me , playing in the mud and puddles, and all the times we have done things together.
And I don't have a present to give you but,I am making your birthday dinner tonight my speciality that you chose for your birthday meal homemade pizza so, do you reckon that counts as my present to you ?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
Love your first little sister
