I don’t know why I’m googling this NOW…

Back in 1997, I was on a Jury for what would now be known as the “inspiration” for a movie called “the Boiler Room.”  I was 27, an unemployed stage manager, and figured it’d be a week of my time, I could crochet and have a grand time.

‘cuz ya gotta have friends

And I feel so blessed with the ones I DO have.
So when one of them is hurting, I hurt.

This blog was named Hydrangeas Are Pretty because it was the first thing that popped into my head way back in 2004 when I started my blog.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE hydrangeas, and when I joined the ‘decor” committee with our Co-Op, I made sure to plant hydrangeas in the backyard,

Flashbacks, baby!

With all of this talk about this new version of a certain movie that comes out today, that is an egreious affront to all that we knew as children, I’ve been having nostalgic flashbacks as of late.  I’m not sure if anyone remembers some of the other shows from the Syd & Marty Kroft Super [...]
