David has lots of talents

Well I found out something new this weekend about my soon to be son-in-law. Kevin bought a new shirt for our family pictures -- when we brought it home we found that the shirt had long sleeves --not good for the summer family pictures. So we cut the sleeves and David proceeded to set up the sewing machine and hem the new sleeves. WOW the kid can sew. He has lots of other talents - Another one being a "Comedian" He is a great guy and he is really quite funny. Thanks to David I no longer have to sew or mend :)

I miss my brothers.....

Here are a few pictures of Stefan and Valentine. Stefan as I have posted before took sixteenth place in the the World Cup in France just last month. Seeing these pictures makes me think of spending time with my brothers in Bulgaria. This really makes me miss them. Hugs and Kisses to my gorgeous brothers!

Movie Reviews for this weekend

So I went to see two movies this weekend. The movie situation has been dry as a bone lately, and I needed a movie fix. The first movie we saw was KnowingThis is a science fiction thriller, starring Nicolas Cage. Cage was great (as usual--I'm a fan)The movie had great intensity, and an eeriness to it that worked. I loved the cinematography/photography. The colors were rich, but muted -it was noticeable - and I am having a hard time describing it. Cage's house was very creepy. I really liked this movie. One disclaimer....the ending is different. At the end, I felt like I missed some important symbolism, which I am sure I could figure out if I took the time. As far as the ending goes, I have to give it up for the writer and his creativity! I give this movie a B or about 2.75 stars.

Now to Duplicity - First of all I love Clive Owen and I like Julia Roberts. But this movie was not worth the time it took to watch it! I hate to say it, but it was boring, and hard to follow. And Owen's and Robert's chemistry ? Not that great. The end had a twist, but it was LAME. So I give this movie 1.75 stars or a D+ Sorry Clive

I'm a PROUD sister

I'm a proud sister and going to brag for a minute about my gorgeous and talented step brother - Stefan. He is an Olympic skier for the Bulgarian Olympic Ski Team. And...drum roll.... he placed 16th in the world in slalom - just last week. That is out of 200 people!!!

Good job Stefan. I love you and am so proud!

Happy Birthday Olivia

It was Olivia's seventeenth birthday today. We had a great dinner with our family and as we like to say "the boyfriends," Travis (Olivia's boyfriend) and David (Erica's boyfriend), sadly Travis had to leave before my German Chocolate cake was finished -this is the reason he is not in the pictures. Olivia requested flank steaks, baked potatoes, steamed broccoli, garlic bread.... and the cake. It was fun.

I can't believe Olivia is 17 ! Happy Birthday to my sweet little Lilly.
