My favorite movie of all time is…
Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken
This story moved me in a way that many movies never did. I was in my teens when it came out in 1991. It was based on the memoir of Sonora Webster Carver called, A Girl and Five Brave Horses. She was a rider of diving horses who later went blind after one of her dives.
Sonora’s story shows the courage of an orphan...

Picture Perfect Party Linky #42
Amanda's kitten, Sheela, is now 6 months old.
We had her spaded a few days ago. Samantha's
kitten, Prince, loves to rough and tumble
with Sheela. I was worried that he wouldn't
be careful with her after her operation, but
animals have a special ability at knowing and
for several days he remained docile around her.
I was so impressed with him. Now the tumbling
has begun again.
I have been trying to catch up on comments that I have missed
on my blog posts. I went as far back as 9 weeks ago. I didn't
realize...

Which Comment System is Best for Your Blog?

When I first began blogging with Blogger, I had the usual Blogger comment system that came with my Blogger templates. I realize some of my blogging friends use WordPress and not Blogger. There is a link for you too at the bottom of the post, so keep reading.
I wasn’t very happy with the limited way that this system worked, so I looked into Disqus and IntenseDebate to see what features they had to offer. In the end, I chose to go with IntenseDebate, mainly because they had the CommentLuv plugin that allows bloggers to immediately...

Make My Saturday Sweet - Blog Hop #38
Finish the Sentence Friday
I blog because…
for years I felt like I was completely out of the loop, living in obscurity, while life was passing me by. I missed having girlfriends who share similar interests and I desperately wanted to do something more with my life.
Blogging made it possible to hone my skills in writing and photography, two talents that were, for the most part, lying dormant. There were also personal stories and experiences that were bursting inside of me, waiting to be told. Blogging has given me the opportunity...

The Circus
On Friday I took Amanda to the small-town circus that arrived for the weekend. It was her first circus and she says it was her first time to see live lions and a tiger. I think she's right about that. It's interesting that she knows this and I didn't realize it.
The bigger kids have been to zoos and game drives, but our Cape Town Zoo closed down (it was privately run and they couldn't keep it going). Amanda can't wait to go on the game drive in Animal Kingdom. The big kids say they'd rather go on rides and skip that...

Finish the Sentence Friday and Friendship Friday.
And, don't forget to link your blog at
the bottom on my blog hop!
Finish the Sentence Friday - May 17
When I was younger, I wanted to……
own a candy store. I loved imagining being surrounded by all the colorful sweets and seeing the wonder and joy on children’s faces. For me, a candy store was one of the happiest places to spend your days. It wouldn’t feel like work at all and I’d sample the tasty treats whenever I wanted to.
I...

Girly Comments & Graphics
I first want to wish all moms a very Happy Mother's Day!
And, all women who care for others and animals should be
honored today too. We are the backbone to a healthy society.
My 12-year-old daughter made me breakfast this morning.
I wanted to show you how pretty it looked and the omelette
she made was delicious!
