BRISTOL WELCOMES RACE FANS
Once again it’s time for the races at Bristol Motor Speedway. And they are giving away 10 Ford Mustangs. WOW what a prize. OK people tell everyone if that has been the main reason for going this year? (all possible winners need to be present to win) I’m sure this makes no difference to the true race fan but it can’t hurt either, right?
Keep racing,
Monica
Has anyone seen the New Movie MAMA yet? I have and I’ll tell you a little about what I thought.
mama movie 2013
mama
It starts out where the father Jeffrey kills his wife and takes his girls who are only 1 and 3 on a wild car ride through snow covered roads. Of course, they slide off the road and find an abandoned cabin. They just got into the cabin when MAMA makes her first shadowy appearance, as she stops Jeffrey from harming the girls. This was good, getting some ghostly action so soon. It then jumps ahead five years when the girls are discovered and reunited with their uncle (who by the way is the same actor as the father). He and his girlfriend take them in. The girls are then placed under a doctor’s supervision and taught how to fit into society again. At first the adults believe MAMA is all a product of the older girl Victoria’s imagination. However, they soon learn that MAMA is real!!
Overall, I thought it was done well especially for a PG13 film. It held my interest but I have to say when it got to the end I was disappointed. I won‘t give it away but it didn‘t make much sense. It should have had a better plot. However, for fans of horror, suspense or special effects I would say give this one a go. It’s really not that bad. C+
The BEST aspect of this film was the two girls acting. They were very convincing and played their parts well. There were times throughout the film that I was totally amazed at how well the girls portrayed being animalistic, especially Lilly (Isabelle Nelisse) watch the trailer and see for yourself how she crawls around on the floor on all fours, her expressions, and grunts, she’s so young, so believable. I’m sure we will be seeing both of these girls in more films.
Great little actors
Keep watching the movies, Monica
Cold outside
January is no reason to feel the chill outside when you can read a good book. Here I am on Literarily Speaking as a guest author doing a letter to the readers as my character: Donna. This was a lot of fun and got my creative juices stirred up. take a read and see how one situation changed Donna’s life forever.

Saw this picture and it reminded me of my favorite game which is Scrabble for those of you who have not seen my older posts. And my brother even gave me a really cute Scrabble mug for Christmas. My motto is “Have game will travel” I keep it in the car. LOL. And another favorite our pets here’s a really cute dog all dressed up for the New Year celebration!
really cute
Have a Happy and Healthy 2013 eveyone,

I want to wish you a very Happy Holiday. Music IS the spice of life and at this time of year we celebrate through traditional Christmas songs we all know like “Silent Night”, “Little Town of Bethlehem”, “Away in a Manger”, “We Three Kings”, “Hark the Herald Angels Sing”, “Joy to the World”, “O Come All Ye Faithful” for a lighter mood there’s “Holly Jolly Christmas”, “Frosty the Snowman”, “I saw Mommie kissing Santa Claus”, “Jingle Bells” and “Rocking around the Christmas Tree”. Then there are newer songs that have become popular recently like “Do they know it’s Christmas”, “Grandma got run over by a Reindeer”, and one I really liked from Greg Lake called “I Believe in Father Christmas” check it out here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXCEdrnaFlY
Does anyone know the meaning to the 12 Days of Christmas ? I do and it’s quite interesng.
Keep making music,
