Josephine

Creatively written story of Josephine Baker, born in 1906 in St. Louis Missouri. She loved to dance and perform and became a star doing it. More so in France because of her skin color. She went to Paris at about 15 years old to perform and stayed there.

She believed that people of all races could live together in harmony. She worked tirelessly against racial discrimination in the United States.

It was fun and interesting learning about Josephine Baker!

“What is this?” –Lillian …..

After I stopped laughing, I explained. I know many households still use them and I told her that. Yet, we haven’t had a land line since about 2007.

We’ve not had a television since about 2008 and several years ago there was a special running that caused it to be cheaper for internet if you got the cable/internet package. I said, “Sign me up! But, no need for an appointment for the cable, cause I don’t have a TV!” So funny!

So how do we have movie night once a week? The movies come from the library, every once in a while from Amazon on demand, and I play them on a portable DVD player connected to a projector.

Then I project it onto the wall … It’s huge!! Like being at a theater in the comfort of your own home! HA!

I also have one of those little tiny speakers connected to the DVD player so we can actually hear it! We have interesting looking walls in the living room. Things hanging on every wall, except the biggest wall …. Can’t mess up the screen area! xoxo

Last weekend I was inspired by a slice of bread! So inspired that I wrote about it! Yes, I know, sounds silly! Nevertheless ….

“Like an acorn that discards it’s outer shell to reveal the oak tree within, I choose to release those old layers and discard them. Even if it takes …. ”

Team TLC movie night ….. “Salmon Fishing in the Yemen” –

Thomas says, “Funny, good, moving, happy, twist ending, fun to watch, and just plain good.”

Lillian says, “Good, twist ending, awesome, cool, funny texting scenes, interesting, suspenceful, amazing, and funny.”

There were some scenes I had to sensor due to language and intimacy. However, I sure enjoyed it! “Life, love, passion, faith, miracles, kindness, spirituality, and wisdom. Three worlds bound by water. If you dream a dream strong enough ….” … Loved it!!!
