TWO NEW SUMMER TV SHOWS NOT TO MISS!!!!


The Fall
 
 
 
 
 
There is usually a horrible let down after the last finales of my
favorite tv shows are gone. Sorry people, tv is my job and one of
my secret pleasures. But I've found you a couple of new ones and
some old ones that I think you might like.
 
I mean who doesn't love Gillian Anderson. Since the X files , she's
been pretty scarce. But lo and behold she's in a dark, sexy, perverted
(is there any other kind) BBC drama that zapped right on to Netflix.
It's called The Fall (2013). You have to admire a gal who's the head
police chick who see a hunky looking detective and says "I'm staying
at the Hilton, room 203" and he shows up . I mean number one who would
have the nerve to say that and number two, they would probably reply,
"Of course, I'll have the police reports sent straight over."If you like Dexter
it has a huge serial killer element. I'm dazzled that it left BBC and flew
straight over to Netflix.
 
Second The Motive. An older female detective. I really don't like police
stuff that much. I'm so CSI'd out. But this one is cool and she's savvy. And
there's some some sexual tension and adolescent kids. Plus the right-of-the
bat they tell you who the killer is and the victim.
 
OK. Time for my dirty little secrets. I started watching ABC family when
my writing buddy and I were doing research . I'm hooked. So glad to see
Pretty Little Liars...and now there's a new one called Twisted.  Interesting
premise.
 
So Break out the out the popcorn  and give them a spin. tell me what you
think and give me some more suggestions. It's gonna be a freaking long
hot summer

YOU HAVE TO SEE THE MOVIE HOT FLASHES!!!!!




Saw the movie tonight at the Dead Center Film Festival in Oklahoma City. It was
terrific. The best dialogue and story line ever with some of the most amazing and
unlikely stars.

You'll love this free spirited movie about a bunch of over- the- hill chicks who want
to 'save the local mammogram unit by reuniting as a basketball team and taking on
the young champions. Rough stuff by an unlikely crew. The characters are razor sharp
and the dialogue is real. There are no fancy houses with Nancy Meyers picture-perfect
interiors. The jokes are real, the women are real and the movie is a triumph. All
made for around five million (which is cheap for a feature film) and get this ....it was
written by a man,

You'll love it. It's coming to theatres across the country on July 12th. Get your peeps and
go see it. You'll love it.

Just to give you a sample here's the teaser.

WHO ARE YOU???? WHEN DO YOU STOP BEING A BABE??


 
 
 
Last weekend was a crazy busy one for me. Sent to Texas for the ricin
story...then back to Oklahoma for tornado's. Whew...that would have made
the twenty year old version of my self exhausted. But it was a confusing
weekend too.
 
 First of all I stopped for caffeine at McDonalds somewhere
in  Texas and the girl (without me asking) gave me a senior discount.
OUCH!!
 
Then on the way home a convertible of three dudes kept keeping pace with
my car and telling me to roll down the window. I  thought parts of my car were
falling off so I did and they all yelled "show me your tits". What was this
Mardi Gras?...and were some of these men blind?. Hope it wasn't the driver.Now
this is confusing to me.
 
At what age are you suddenly not a babe...and become a senior citizen?
 
 
Seriously I still feel pretty young. I can keep up with anyone if I really want to.
I seriously amaze myself alot of the time. But I don't think my body is cool with
that. Too many 20 hour days and I get a cold, or feel like I've been run over by a truck!!
 
So what to do? How do you know? Is there an Age cut off?I think a reality check is in order.
 
You are still a babe if once a year someone whistles at you or says "I had no idea you
were _??___. You look at least twenty years younger.
 
If you still have dreams about your life and your career and you work toward those
goals.
 
If at least one man in your life, present or past tells you you're beautiful and you
believe it.
 
If you still love music and are not afraid to dance around the house in pure joy.
 
 
If you're still in love with love.
 
 
You are a senior if hipsters and young people annoy the hell out of you.
 
If you never ever change your mind over anything
 
If your health is your main concern...always.
 
If you've given up and settle.
 
If you believe love is for the young only
 
 
It's your choice ladies!!!! It has nothing to do with age, You can be
80 and still be young and heart.  As for me I'll forget that the little girl at McDonalds\
thought I was a senior citizen. And the cat calls from the convertible are my this years
validation. I'll take it where I can get it!!!!!.
 
As we used to say in our cheerleading squad. Knockers Up Ladies!!!

TUSCAN ADVENTURE PART DEUX



by Katrina and Michelle

May 24, 2013


We awoke to a downpour this morning. Quite a bit cooler and most of us do not have quite enough outerwear. This did not stop the prompt rendezvous of all 17 for coffee and croissants AND our practice session. Without pause, we turned on the "Mamma Mia" tune and began our rehearsal softly so as not to disturb sleeping guests. Three run-throughs and we feel ready for tonight. Even the staff is looking forward to this closely guarded secret.

I haven't touched so much on our colleagues. This group has become a close and warm gathering of friends. We change places at each meal to become better acquainted with every person. There is constant laughter and this production effort was accepted unanimously without hesitation by any single individual. I think it rare that we might build these bonds as rapidly as we have and there is much care taking of one another. I am certain Michelle and I will visit with several of these friends in the future.


Patty and Bill have provided a unique, adventurous and fulfilling vacation. We all understand that we a piece of their personal life tour. This part of Tuscany is breathtakingly beautiful and the local residents have been warm and gracious. We were, perhaps, most surprised by the shear amount of food that would be offered to us. Having said that, each venue has been different from the one before it. All of our chef, winery, shopping and "factory" hosts are good friends of the Sutherlands, not simply a source of income.

Our final culinary instruction was held at Belagaggio Agriturismo, a villa owned by a wealthy landowner in Montefollonico.  Five guest room apartments are open to the public as is the main grotto for wedding and other large gala celebrations. The home and gardens are the most beautiful we have seen this trip. There are olive fields, sheep herds and a vineyard. We had three generations from this family - grandmother, mother and daughter - guide us through our cooking tasks. As with all other recipes, there is no exact measurement of any ingredient. They just keep saying you cannot fail. The ricotta/spinach stuffed squash blossoms were dipped in a light batter and fried. We made three different thin-crust  pizzas and an eight- layer lasagna with a delectable meat sauce. One would think that with eight layers of pasta this would be overwhelming heavy. Not so. It was the lightest lasagna I have ever ingested. Tiramisu with espresso-soaked vanilla wafers concluded this culinary feast. As usual, we were served at an elegantly set table with flat and bubbly water, red and white wine. I think the Sutherlands saved the most beautiful setting for last.

The table in the dining room at La Chiusa was strewn with wine glasses and flowers. A bubbly Proseco was served when our group arrived in the week's dressiest attire. This was graduation night. An eight course dinner was far from overwhelming. Each course was very small, beautifully presented and oh so delicioso! Following the antipasti course Michelle rose and pushed the "play" button on the iPad. The melody from "Mamma  Mia" filled the dining room. In a wave from center table to the ends we arose, donned our culinary aprons and began our Tuscan Broadway production. The staff emerged from the kitchen, the other guests quieted down and we burst into song. The confused expressions on Patty and Bill's faces showed that this interruption did not instantly resonated with them. Once we truly had launched they realized they were being serenaded. Tears, embarrassment and laughter followed. We were thrilled for our few days of work paid off.  Bill acknowledged that NO other class had ever honored them this way. We felt warmed by their response. Toasts ensued. As did the operatic voice our of Chinese colleague, 

I-Lin, who sang both an Italian and Chinese stanza from operas. We were in awe. Yes, we were among extraordinary and talented people.

Bill reminded us each day in class that a diploma was awaiting only those who had passed the rigors of his culinary school. We were honored with 100% success when he bestowed Patty's artistically designed diplomas upon each participant.

La Chiusa surprised us with an African drummer, one of their staff. This young, very dark-skinned man teaches disabled men in Siena to play the drums. He involved us in the drum playing, and we all joined in with dance moves. If only you could have seen the smile and pride his face displayed while treating us to a taste of his culture. This went on 'til way past midnight. A farewell and warm affection was exchanged by all who might depart before breakfast.
