Hey Chuckles;
Hiya Janice! How are you?
I have just caught up on your blog. I have been watching your calendar trips. I have been rather curious about them. I know its not a real trip, because the destinations are so far apart and there is no way you could really make them all in the time that you have allotted to do them. Therefor I have come to the conclusion that it is virtual trips. Which is a wonderful idea. I should do that too. Seeing as how I am such a homebody. I dont get out a lot, except once a week, we go to the movie and dinner.
Once a week for dinner? Sometimes that's more tan me! LOL Some weeks are very slow for me!
The travel calendar is an actual calendar that I was given for Christmas by Matthew. It's called "1,000 Places to See Before You Die", and I wasn't that thrilled with the title when it arrived shortly before my birthday.
It's a desktop calendar where you get a new picture each day, of the destination for the day. So each day I come here and post the location the calendar says to be.
We sometimes do it more than once if there are specific movies to see, that we are particularly interested in. We have seen most of the really interesting ones this year. We haven't seen "the kids are ok" or a couple of others, but it has been overall a great year for great movies. They have been wonderful. Mostly unusual in the overall scheme of things.
As usual, I haven't seen any of the major movies, except for Black Swan, which I saw last week and loved! Natalie Portman is fantastic and I can see why she's nominated for the Oscar. She truly deserves it.
I am interested in seeing the Oscars this year. They have not made too many glaring mistakes I don't think. I was disappointed that Mark Walhburg didnt get nominated for the Fighter. Other than that, It was pretty fair.
I was surprised by that omission as well. I haven't seen the movie, but heard from people who did and they all agreed that Mark's performance is fantastic!
Seems you are doing well on your diet too. Your face really shows the thinning down to me. You were downright dapper and handsome in that button down shirt, with the tie, lincs and pocket square to match.. whooee. great.
Well thanks so much, Darlin'!!! The accessories you mention were also given to me by Matthew. He's become one of my closest friends, and we both exchange gifts for Christmas.
