Ah, this worked out nicely for one of the new great grands this year. I didn't really do a layout for Jonah, Logan's little brother, born June 20th. He was GG #4 and we're also welcomed Raja as GG #5 when I did the Sketch Challenge. I found neat sequin photo corners from Elif Sahin at Pixelscrappers. The clips from my stash labeled LF-Choose-to-Shine were originally copper but I changed them. The Polaroid frames are all part of a vintage collage. The fonts are Bungee Inline, Cabin Sketch and Brush Script. The background paper is from a Marisa Lerin Kit called "Touch of Delight." The photos all came from the Paolucci family. Ilana is my youngest granddaughter, with my Laurey as her mother.

Actually, that was the case. I had to go back to look where I took that from and that was the case. I was standing at the bottom of a slope and the hedge was at the top of the slope and the flowers were just under it. I know that your winter scene will be beautiful. Love your pictures of the Hudson Valley. The colors are so vivid. It is beautiful country. In fact the whole of New York state is beautiful. I only saw the upper region of it, but I loved the views.
Thank you, Mary. Now I get it! And you're right, the Hudson Valley is well known for its colorful fall views.

Very nice, Mary! Your colors are gorgeous. The only thing that looks a little odd, to me, is the photo is tilted to the right and the flowers end up growing sideways a bit. I'm not sure if that's what you intended...

Pennywise scares the heck out of me. The original one was played by Tim Curry who can be terrifying.
I wouldn't know as I totally avoid all horror movies. Just not for me. I do like silly stuff like Beetlejuice and Nightmare Before Christmas.

Lately, I'm watching several older series that I missed the first time around: The Good Wife, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Good Omens & Billions. I try to pick out a film for my Saturday night viewing: this week it will be "Spotlight" with Bill Murray as a crusading newspaper editor. It won the Academy Award and I've seen it before but it's so good it'll hold up for a second viewing. I'm also a fan of Endeavor and (the original) Professor T.

GRANDDAUGHTER ANNA & HUSBAND, TJ, VISIT HIS FAMILY IN SOUTH KOREA - SEPT 2023 - Anna and Tj live in San Jose, California. She is the daughter of my daughter, Debbie, and aunt to baby Magic and Raja. Anna is a Speech Language Pathologist and Tj is a Senior Software Engineer for Meta. They've been married for 6 years and have 2 cats. All papers and embellishments are from Marisa Lerin "Korea" kit except for flag and map from Google search. Scraplift: Travel Challenge Day 8 by Mary Solaas (mostly for paper layer design). cass-date stamp 13-softlight layer effect +reverse shadow. Font = Agency. This is a departure for me. I usually prefer cleaner, less fussy pages, but this just worked this way, I guess. Maybe it's the Korean influence. ?

That's an interesting family tree you've mentioned. We don't have such a famous part in both our trees. ?
Me, either, Jannette, though my Beck mother-in-law claimed she'd traced her lineage back to Mary Queen of Scots. Given her personality, I believed her! ?

I find all your pages outstanding, Mary. The layouts are very effective. The offset papers and photos are very pleasing to look at. Driving around the Black Hills has always been on my bucket list and, thanks to you, here I can do it virtually.

My TV list is rather short; I don't turn it on until after 5 pm and off by 10. I watch The Good Wife, Billions, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Fire Country, Broadchurch and I pick a movie for my Saturday night viewing. This week it'll be Fast X, the auto racing film with Vin Diesel. I'm looking forward to the original Moonlighting series with Candace Bergen and Bruce Willis which is being re-released on Hulu. I never saw the originals. Also, a new Frasier series with Kelsey Grammer. Both start Oct 10 here. There are two new series on Netflix I'll try: Reptile, a detective show and The Recruit, a spy comedy. That's it for me. Most of the time I'm here on my desktop computer, playing with PSP.

Instead
We watch a lot of british detective series, through bbc-first. But also downtowm abbey.
And some original dutch drama series.
I do, too, Chris. I subscribe to BritBox for that reason and have been a long-standing fan of Downton Abbey. I even used it as the theme of a workshop here with a calendar.

I watched a couple seasons of Survivor only because it was originally filmed by a guy who did these race shows that were actually real. Reality shows are anything but real. I got tired of it very quickly. I dont like these shows because there is too much conflict and drama and seems to bring out the worst in people. I'd rather see people at their best, it's more inspiring. I like competition shows that are serious like The Crossfit Games. Elite athletes at their best, now that's a motivator for me. I realize I am in a minority for this subject.
I'm with you, Susan. Once I found out Pro Wrestling was scripted, all the "reality shows" lost their credibility with me. There are a few competition shows, like American Ninja Warrior, that appear to be real, and talent shows like Dancing with the Stars or The Voice. Aside from the game show, Jeopardy!, I watch TV for stories with drama, action or laughs. My favorite right now is the new Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. I literally have to keep lists of what to watch. Between network TV and streaming, the choices have been endless.

I dont have a problem with what you have written. A lot of this I didnt know, some it rather shocking.
I agree and in fact I applaud Sue with her clear-eyed assessment of the "neo-cons." ?

May I ask what this saying means??? "played under the hood"? Some people asked that on the internet as well. There were more answers. "The Wizard of Oz was mentioned". Saying "behind the curtains". Wikipedia told, "Batman Under the Red Hood". The word "hood" has different meanings. a neighbourHOOD, a cookerHOOD, Robin HOOD. A hoodie. And more. It makes me dizzy a bit.
Jannette, in the US the "hood" is the covering for the engine on an automobile. In the UK it's called the "bonnet." The phrase "played under the hood" would refer to the user working on the engine with a car, or in this case, creating their own customized filter in Filter Forge.
