I have been quiet because I have been blessed with diseases.

However, drinking lots of water, rest, treatments, and drugs – seem to be muting and resolving them. And just knowing – this to shall pass, really does help.  For some reason, yogurt tastes phenomenal; smoothe and comforting.

Not to mention – I am very thankful for my job as they have been very kind to me.

Something happens when your body is hard at work mending the pieces that have frayed – your mind is a bit aloof.  It has no choice. It must focus on the task at hand.

So – what do I do between the ebb and flow of healing and diseases?

I pull out my complete series of the Little House on the Prairie.

You have Laura and big bad Nellie. I have to find the episode where Laura pushes big bad Nellie down the hill in a wheelchair because she had been faking an injury and how Laura teaches her a lesson. Nellie’s yelling down the hill – never gets old.

You have Charles almost giving up the farm because of the tornado and how he lost chickens, his calf, his crop, and destruction to his house and barn and everywhere.

You have the taxman comes to town; the runaway caboose! Which aired in 1976 – the filming was really quite well done. It always makes my heart race.

You have big bad Mr. Apple who replaces Ms. Beatle the school teacher because she can’t control the classroom. Then how Mr. Apple has some severe control and order issues, We must have order! and how that gets resolved and how the kids teach the ruthless kids a lesson.

You have Mrs. Olson always spreading rumors and being a real pill.

It is endless – Little House on the Prairie is literally one of the best series that ever existed, in my opinion of course. You cry you laugh, you feel the hopes, triumphs, and failures with the Ingalls.

Then what else do you do?

Have you ever seen the film Guess Who’s Coming to dinner? with Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy?

It is one of my favorite Katherine Hepburn films of all time. I have had a crush on Katherine Hepburn for ages – her stature, her voice, inflection, tone, her ability to command a room, her tenacity – her beauty of course.

This is one of the best clips of all time and you must, MUST watch it. It is short. It is brilliant.

Released in 1967 with the premise being that her daughter comes home from a trip and falls in love and wishes to marry a man who is black, Sidney Poitier. The shock, relations, conversations – is worth the watch.

Here is an employee to Katherine’s character wanting to see what all the business is about:

Then, I discovered The Highwomen – you may recognize a couple ladies.

Not a lot of writing – this is all I can do. It is always fun to share.

Much love, many wishes, and many blessings.
