Yippee!!

Only 52 days left on the countdown to spring.  The sun is shining brightly this morning and it is 25 degrees,  Mother Nature wasn’t so nice last night as she dumped about an inch of snow.  Now that doesn’t sound like much but the wind was blowing at a good clip and my car is covered this morning.  I need to go to the store so that means cleaning the snow off.  YUCK,  Have I mentioned before, thousands of times, that I don’t like winter.  Especially snow and ice.

The movie (One for the Money)  was really great and was pretty close to the book.  I was disappointed in the casting of grandma Mazur and a couple of the other cast members.  Morelli was perfectly cast as was Stephanie Plum.

Well, as much as I hate it, I have to clean my car off so that I can go to the store.  I hope you all have a great weekend.  Stay safe and be happy!!

Attention Stephanie Plum/

Janet Evanovich fans.  One for the Money (the movie), the first Stephanie Plum book, starts today at the theater.  My daughter and I are going for the very first showing which is this morning.  I have read all 18 of the Stephanie Plum books.  I will give you all a review when I get home.  So stop by later for an addition to this post.

It is partly sunny and 28 degrees right now.  The temp is to reach 40 degrees again today.  There are 53 days left in the countdown to Spring.

Catch you all later with the movie update.  If you are looking for books to read that will make you laugh out loud you should read this series.  I have noted before that I read One for the Money shortly after Jim died.  I would be sitting there crying and the next minute I would be laughing out loud.  Good therapy.

UPDATE:

The movie was great and very well cast except for Ranger who was not as good looking as I imagined he would be. Joe Morelli was perfectly cast, what a hunk if I do say so myself. lol Grandma Mazur played by Debbie Reynolds was a disappointment I thought she was miscast. I know Roger Ebert would probably give it 1/2 star but I give it 5 *****s.
