A good night's sleep, chocolate, the happiness and satisfaction of sharing on AgingCare forum. Does anyone have some favorite things to think about? Yes, this phrase is from the song in the movie "The sound of Music". My husband and I often resort to using movie lines and song to improve communication. We were the only two in a gathering of people who heard the background music playing. We both had the same (cassette tape/CD). A connection bringing two people together. To this day, we crack up when one uses a simple movie line to make a serious point.
SO, What is one of your favorite movie line, some of your favorite things?
That is what I will do at 2:00 a.m. on a Saturday night, (The morning being a Sunday in just a few more hours.)
Viewed mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, the moon blocked the sun's light coming to earth, creating "the ring of fire" appearance.
I challenge anyone here to FIND that event on the news! I viewed it only once, then all sources were crashed, blacked out, or showing 'other' news.
But I enjoyed the event from the internet. It could not be seen from California, I understand. Am I all alone here, I think?
I Love crème brulee and bread pudding,but that is a very rare treat here.The only kind I can find is Dr.Oetker,a product from Canada to make at home and I never see it offered anywhere on the menu.
That is why I wanted to share with my friends on here.
Don't think I have ever had a creme brulee, but watched that being made on a cooking show.
Hope your day is good too, CDNReader and Luckylu!
I'm with you though CW - nothing brings a grin to my face quicker than a huge, public fiasco (with no bodily injuries).
I don't know if he has any memory issues or declining health. I thought I read something a few years back, but celebrity tabloids love to create a rumor, anyway, so who knows.
I get it now -- why the mix up. Funny!
And of course I made pancakes tonight. Banana ones with chocolate ganache. Oh, yeah, now that was indulgent!
If
by Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream- -and not make dreams your master;
If you can think- -and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on! '
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings- -nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And- -which is more- -you'll be a Man, my son!
Rudyard Kipling

Being tearful about my dad tonight. I wanted to contribute something positive. Some of my favorite things is a good book! Good chocolate! And good friends. I think I will go and visit my favorite French bakery this weekend.
