A Nice Momento by Smiley

 A moment from the dean’s luncheon captured by Smiley







Terminator Salvation

Honestly, it bored me. If you have only seen the first two movies, maybe - maybe - you won't find it mind bogglingly derivative. They tried, they really did, and the action scenes were good even if they were predictable. But oy, I think this series is done.

Flappers

Dan's sister Chrissy recommended The restaurant/bar “Flappers” to us. It’s on 76th and Becher. It used to be called “Beacher Street bar and grill” years ago when we were regulars to their Fish Fry. It was delicious! Best burger I’ve had in a while Great prices too! We’ll definitely be returning! - Lisa





The State Fair Light Display

So we did the state fair drive through light/music display tonight. Not crowded, $20 a-car Sun-Thursday. Really enjoyed it. Question to my fb friends: what other drive through displays have the synchronized music? That was neat! - Lisa

Gerrit Cole joins the Yankees

Great news. Now bring us that ring - you know, the one we should have had in 2017 except the Astros were dirty rotten lying cheats that should be banned from the post-season for the next decade.

Nope. Nuh-uh.

 Nope. My kid’s phone will remain on them 100% of the time. If you catch them using it, then you can punish them. Until then, they’ll keep it on them. Parents, re think rolling over on these phone rules. Their phones are their most immediate means of help in an emergency. If it’s locked in their locker or with their teacher it’s of no use to them. If in doubt look into the most recent events, the KIDS with phones are calling 911 most of the time!

A Gift

So the oldest wrote a thank you note for a professor who’s class she enjoyed, and got a gift. I’m impressed ❤️ I don’t remember liking any of my college classes THAT much 😂

Knives Out

Knives Out is brilliant and a joy to watch. The ensemble cast carries the movie almost exclusively through dialogue but it still moves at the speed of light.  Well worth the ticket price!

Some Boys

 Some boys are so dumb

🙄 I couldn’t see my son or husband participating in anything so ridiculous [as the stuff I see online] and that makes me happy. I’m embarrassed for the women in their lives.

The Christmas Tree Mom

Some moms want to be known for their clean house or their amazing home cooked meals. I want to be known for my Christmas tree. One day Lil Junie bringing her newest boyfriend over, “wait to til you see their tree!”. Maybe 18 feet tall, and 1,000’s of lights. Lol speak it into existence, right?! - Lisa
