Movie night for me and Lillian – Lillian’s choice: “The Last Unicorn” – We’ve seen this several times, it’s a Lillian favorite.
Lillian says, “It’s good, one of my favorites while growing up, and still is to this day, 100% recommend for family and friends, like the moral of it – never give up hope, favorite character is the unicorn (as the unicorn and as a human).”

Thomas Darnell and I started watching The Bad Batch last night! Sooooooooo good!!! We’re also watching Rebels (we’re in Season 2), and love how this ties in with that and The Clone Wars.
Thomas and I were picking up my “meatballs” and garlic knots when we saw that they had opened the lil game room. Pinball machines!! How do you get the ball going, Thomas asks. 😂🤣 I only had enough quarters for one game. And he did better than me! I’m rusty!
Oh, the hours spent playing pinball and other games when I was his age. In those days the game rooms were huge! Like the size of this entire restaurant.

This post from 2013 appeared before me today. Not due to facebook’s “You have memories with …. ” notification …
Because one of Nikki’s beautiful daughter’s came across my blog post written in memory of her Mom back in 2013 which led her to my facebook profile which then led her to this post. To me this is a sign that this needed to be posted again. If you are urged to read it, here’s the blog post …
In Remembrance and Celebration of Nikki Jones Luinstra: A Never Forgotten Promise
If you read it, you will know why my eyes began to sweat like crazy after reading Marcy’s comment left on the blog …
“I believe your article has inspired the right person, at just the right moment. I’m her daughter, and i would love to talk to you!”
May this be exactly what you needed in this moment, for whatever reason. xoxoxo

Movie night for me and Thomas. His choice – “Batman” (1989 version)
Thomas says, “It wasn’t that good. Didn’t develop the character of The Joker. And just had random characters with no explanation of their character.”
I say, “I haven’t seen this since it came out in 1989. Still love Michael Keaton as Batman, and Jack Nicholson was awesome as The Joker. But, in some ways, I agree with Thomas. It was great watching this with him though!”

No matter how many times you press “1” to confirm your appointment, it will NOT work if you are listening to the call on your voice mail. Seriously.
I got so frustrated that it wasn’t working, that I pressed “1” about 10 times in a row. It still wasn’t working. Then, my brain said, “Uh, you’re listening to a message. This isn’t the actual call.” …. It’s gonna be a great day! Wahooo! (photo from koolshooters on pexel)
