• April 1 Photo-A-Day FUNNY!

    Funny painting from Jack Jenkins Photo-A-Day Funny

    Photo-A-Day FUNNY! What else would you post for the first of April other than FUNNY!??! I decided to share the additional original artwork from Jack Jenkins. While I was a waitress, cook, dishwasher (small town! Only one person works a shift!) I had a customer that I absolutely adored, Jack Henry Jenkins. He didn’t have a lot of money. He did have A LOT of talent. He would sketch on the back of placemats for my tips. He did occasionally bring painted pictures as well. Those are hung in a different area of the house. You can see the black and white cowboy drawing here. It truly is my favorite drawing and for the last 40+ years has always been displayed in a predominant area of the house. The other sketches are upstairs. You can see these when you come out of the master bedroom. You’ll notice the pictures were further personalized by my son when he was 4. UGH!!! Still the best tips I ever received!!

  • Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase on Blu-ray #Giveaway #NancyDrew

    Nancy Drew movie poster

    **“Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray Nancy Drew I reviewed in this Blog Post. The opinions I share are my own.”** Nancy Drew And The Hidden Staircase is heading home on Digital March 26, 2019 and on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack & DVD on April 2, 2019 I’ve mentioned before that I had the entire Nancy Drew series of books when I was growing up. My daughter read them and now I’m so excited to share them with my 7-year-old Granddaughter Alice. I loved these mysteries!! I really couldn’t wait for the movie. I have to say OmGEeeeee cute! Nancy Drew is everything I hoped for in a movie. The books were written by Carolyn Keene starting in 1930. The second book she wrote was Nancy Drew and The Hidden Staircase. The movie adds a contemporary modern spin but stays pretty true to the book. I love all the characters but I have to say Linda Lavin is as cute as ever! 81, she’s eighty one years old!  She is my new role model. The actress that plays Nancy Drew; Sophia Lillis is as cute as a bugs ear! Bright blue eyes, red hair and freckles. Nancy…
