Christmas Tree 2010

Decorating the Tree today

Yep, just getting around to it, although my Dad and Mom decorated the tree on Christmas Eve for my brother and I. I started to do this but, no way, not organized enuff to do that. Will post some pics. I put up lights after having checked them and put up two strands, I plugged them in and a whole section was out:( so, am presently filling in.

This is my last moments of freedom, I have been off for medical reasons since October. will return Jan. 3rd. It's nice to have TIME to do stuff.

Summer may seem far away, but NYC children are currently participating in Fresh Air programs, from weekly tutoring sessions to job shadowings to weekend retreats at Fund camps in upstate New York! Our Career Awareness Program serves more than 300 youngsters in middle and high school. We also have new leadership programs for young women to develop their “can-do” attitudes!
No matter the season, Fresh Air children remain involved, excited and forward-thinking. We need loyal friends like you to continue serving thousands of New York City children throughout the year. Thank you!

Every year, The Fresh Air Fund gives thousands of inner-city children the priceless gift of fun – and opens the door to a lifetime of opportunities.

Whether it’s a two-week trip to the country to visit a volunteer host family, or a fun-filled and educational stay at one of our fund camps, our programs make for unforgettable memories – and open a world of new friendships and fresh possibilities.

Just $10 will send one child on a bus ride to his or her Friendly Town host family.

$24 provides a child with a week of swimming lessons.

Easy Pumpkin Centerpiece

by Rachel Paxton

Need an easy, inexpensive centerpiece for your autumn table? All you need is a pumpkin and a handful of fall flowers. You can complete this project in less than an hour!

Supplies:

Pumpkin
Fall flowers
Sharp knife
Large spoon

Prepare your work area by spreading out some old newspapers.
Using a sharp knife, carefully remove the top of the pumpkin.
Use the large spoon to scoop all of the pulp and seeds out of the pumpkin.

If you need this done in a hurry for a dinner party, go ahead and arrange your flowers inside the pumpkin. If you have the extra time, let the pumpkin dry out for at least a couple of hours
before you arrange your flowers.

I used artificial flowers in my pumpkin centerpiece, but you
could also use fresh flowers. If your pumpkin is wide and deep
enough, you could place an entire flower pot in it.

Use your pumpkin to decorate your fall or Thanksgiving table, or
place it anywhere in your home to give your home the feel of
autumn.

Good Friday Morning

I am sad without my Earl Grey. I made Darjeeling tea and its just not the same.
Couldn't sleep this morn so I got up to look for some articles for amomslove.com and
do a little cleaning before we go to color eggs with one of my grandsons. Later I will go visit my cousin. We were born two weeks apart and have been very close. I am going to make a little salad to take with me. Bernie will be heading to the museum to find some dinosaur toys for my daughter to put in our grandson's Easter Basket.

Pittsburgh It's tonight! Indies for Indies

You have got to support Independent Film in Pittsburgh...
This is an innovative series at an innovative theatre...
Go check it out! Tonight at 4:30...or this afternoon, I mean.

Indies for Indies

Lucas McNelly is working with the Hollywood Theater in Dormont on a series called “Indies for Indies”, a screening series that strives to work with filmmakers to grow their audience in the greater Pittsburgh region,
and brings to Pittsburgh the type of films that struggle to get
traditional distribution. They’re bringing to town some of the best
films from the festival circuit, films from Sundance and SXSW, as well
as a few World Premieres.

It’s rare in that it gives filmmakers a portion of the ticket sales,
thus helping them get that much closer to the ever-elusive financial
break-even point.

The series, which will run weekly, will show a different film each
week (three screenings–Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday), starting on
March 6th with the World Premiere of Iranian-American filmmaker Amir
Motlagh’s WHALE, coupled with David Lowery’s award-winning short A CATALOG OF ANTICIPATIONS.

Lucas and Hollywood Theater at Dormont thinks this is a great thing for Pittsburgh, both for audiences looking for something different and the local indie film community that’s struggling to find an audience (one of their priorities will be quality local features, as they become available), and they’d much appreciate it if you would be willing to help spread the word. Maybe a thing on the morning show where you preview that week’s film or a plug on the webpage or a feature on the start of the series or something.

Screenings:
Sat @ 4:30pm
Mon @ 7pm
Tues @ 9:30pm

At the Hollywood Theater (1449 Potomac Ave, 15216)

They have a really cool lineup, films from SXSW, Sundance, and a couple World Premieres.

Here’s the first couple films in our schedule (pretty well locked in):

March 6-9: Amir Motlagh’s WHALE (World Premiere), with short David
Lowery’s A CATALOG OF ANTICIPATIONS (Official Selection, Slamdance, SXSW, Palm Springs Shorts, AFI Dallas, etc)

March 13-16: Jarrod Whaley’s HELL IS OTHER PEOPLE (Official Selection, 2010 Cinequest), with a world premiere of a short from the
Netherlands(!), Peet Gelderblom’s OUT OF SYNC

March 20-23: TBA (depends on whether or not the filmmaker can get the stuff to me in time. if not, they may move something up from April
that’s not listed here)

March 27-30: The Butler Brothers’ CONFUSIONS OF AN UNMARRIED COUPLE, winner of 7 awards internationally including: AUDIENCE CHOICE (Indiana Independent), INDIE SPIRIT (ReelHeART International), BEST DIRECTOR
(Bootleg), BEST PRODUCER (Queens International); with Clay Liford’s
short film MY MOM SMOKES WEED (2010, Sundance)

April 3-6: Pericles Lewnes’ LOOP (kind of a political David Lynch style film)

After that they have 2 sxsw features, a local film (Lucas’s), and they are trying to get one of this year’s sundance features.

Check them out on Facebook:
Indies for IndiesLucas McNelly is the award-winning filmmaker behind such feel-good movies as BLANC DE BLANC and GRAVIDA. His work has been featured all over the internets, television, and newspapers. Maybe you’ve heard of him, maybe you haven’t.
