MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU!

I was a blushing newlywed the month that the first (or should I say 4th?) STAR WARS movie was released. Back in 1977, not many other movies were anywhere like this 'space western'. I considered it a young adult or coming of age saga, very unlike STAR TREK

I grew up watching STAR TREK on TV. It was my first love for everything science fiction, but STAR WARS was very different. Different in the way a contemporary novel is from a paranormal romance. Authors shake things up because readers love it. Escapism is quite popular with the movie-going public. What if you don't have the time or money for the movies? And don't talk to me about the price of soda and popcorn!

My advice? READ A BOOK!

Since I have all the STAR WARS movies on DVD, I will spend Friday watching them all...and I can fast-forward through Jar-Jar Binks! Do you remember this quote by Jar-Jar? "Count me outta dis one." So I will!

Since I was an adult woman when Han Solo first showed up on a movie screen, I have already marked my calendar so I do not miss the May 25th release of SOLO, a new movie prequel

Ok, now for my personal public service announcement. Since I am the daughter of a Navy veteran and the mother of an Army veteran (who served in Iraq) I say:

POSITIVE QUOTE OF THE WEEK

Stinson Brook, Rumney NH-photo by me

As the leaves fall and the sky darkens with Autumn's threat of snow, I offer you this little quote I tripped over:

"One little person, giving all of her time to peace, makes news. Many people, giving some of their time, can make history." –Peace Pilgrim, peace activist

As the mother of an Army Drill Sergeant, I pray for peace. How about you? Do you remember we still have soldiers in harm's way?

Veteran's Day is right around the corner. Attend a parade, shake the hand of a reservist, or donate to Disabled American Veterans...whatever you can.

Love and peace,

Nancy
