Still Have the Flowers

Still Have the Flowers

Yesterday we woke up to a bunch of snow on the cars and on the trees. I was worried that we would not have these flowers after the snow had melted. However, they stayed on the tree and they look so pretty. If we would only have some nice days, or if only I was awake during the nice part of these days.

My daughter has started her own blog for the family. She’s been updating all the things that she has been during in the quarantine. She set it all up herself through Google Sites. I am thinking that we might set up a Blogger blog for her in the future or as I had suggested to her already adding her blogs to this site. I could create a user for her and a section just for her to write in her blog updates.

The Willoughbys Are Coming To Netflix

The Willoughbys Poster

I received some promotional materials for an upcoming movie that will be on Netflix this coming Wednesday. In the materials I received I learned all about the production of the movie and the great care that was taken to make it look very distinct. I’m also looking forward to seeing Ricky Gervais as a cat. He is so talented and funny so I know I’ll be laughing through this movie.

The movie is based on a book by Lois Lowry who wrote such books as The Giver. She has also writing many children’s books. The Willoughbys is about four children who are convinced that they’d be better off raising themselves. The Willoughby children hatch a sneaky plan to send their selfish parents on vacation. The siblings then embark on their own high-flying adventure to find the true meaning of family.
