We've been fighting off the flu but it finally got us. It is on the run and after dinner last night we settled in and watched 'Kung Fu Panda 2' and finished off the night with The Royal Ballet doing 'The Nutcracker'.
The movie was fantastic and spoke more to me then it would to others because of life experiences but if you liked the first one you will enjoy the second.
And of course, The Royal Ballet always does a beautiful job. There is nothing better for the soul then The Royal Ballet performing. The sets are awesome and the performers are astounding.
Have a good week end everyone :)

Uncommon Knowledge
A few days ago I did a post on Judy Lewis, daughter of Clark Gable and Loretta Young.
She wrote a book called "Uncommon Knowledge", so I thought I would go to Amazon.com and see if it was available for Kindle. Its not, but what I found shocked me. The book is a collector's item which means it is expensive. The cheapest one is $202.00, the highest is $999.00. That's to rich for my blood,lol.
Thankfully, people wrote reviews on it (and I'm thinking they got the book when it first came out). Anyway, I got the jest of the book from the reviews. Maybe, the price will come down and maybe I'll get one.
There was one review that shared how Mr. Lewis, the man Loretta Young married, would tell his sons that Judy was 'not one of them'
That opened up an old wound for me because my foster mother Louise, was always saying that about me. I remember when they got a movie camera, whenever it was brought out Louise would tell me to go to my room because 'I was not one of them'.
Old wounds die hard and some never heal. Reading this book would problay open more old wounds and its a good thing I won't be reading it. But, for others who are collectors, it would be a good book for their collection.

Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day
Today is Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, let us remember those who served :)
The Puchbowl, National Cemetery of the Pacific:
Jan 4, 1949 the remains of soldiers from around the Pacific Theater-including Wake Island and Japanese POW camps were transported to Hawaii for final interment.
The cemetery opened to the public on July 19, 1949 with services for 5 war dead-an unkown serviceman, 2 Marines, an Army Lieutenant and one civilian-noted war correspondent Ernie Pyle.
Eventually, over 13,000 soldiers and sailors who died in WWII would be laid to rest in The Punchbowl.
