According to this week’s photo challenge, the word companion has many meanings, one of which was completely new to me! When I think of my companion I think of my daughter who’s growing up so incredibly fast. We enjoy so … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Companionable
This week’s challenge was an easy one for me. When I think of arranged, I thought of several things at once.

I understand that it is a completely different medium and that many times the written word doesn’t translate well onto the screen. Things HAVE to get cut. I get it.
But if David Yates had to condense the film down to 2 1/2 hours, he basically had to Continue reading “Harry Potter and the Alzheimer’s Bowl”
