One of my Favorite Quotes

Thanks to my son, I've become a Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter fan.

LOTR

This one was taped to my desk last year.  It will follow me this August.  It applies to me on so many levels.



I chaperoned a group of students to Dallas one time.  On an excursion to the movies, most of them wanted to see a horror movie-- I can't even remember what it was.  The others wanted to see Chronicles of Narnia : Prince Caspian. Neither one of them seemed appealing,  but after watching the Prince Caspian, I, too, became a fan of the Chronicles of Narnia

I loved Susan from the Chronicles of Narnia:  The Lion, The Witch, and Wardrobe and Prince Caspian.  I guess Susan was the oldest girl and I could identify with her.  Why do people want to do away from the classics?  WWII, symbolism of Aslan, love and loss-- it is all there  I downloaded all the movie music to Itunes-- kind of like my mint chocolate chip ice cream--- nobody messes with it but me .


And, then I think I'm the grown up version of Hermione Granger.  I sure wish I owned her pocketbook.  And, muggles do get on my nerves sometimes.  Hermione is Harry's best friend and there is nothing like a best friend.
Her pocketbook is amazing!

"'When you say you've got the Cloak, and clothes...' said Harry, frowning at Hermione, who was carrying nothing except her small beaded handbag, in which she was now rummaging. 'Yes, they're here,' said Hermione, and to Harry and Ron's utter astonishment, she pulled out a pair of jeans, a sweatshirt, some maroon socks, and finally the silvery Invisibility Cloak... She gave the fragile-looking bag a little shake and it echoed like a cargo hold as a number of heavy objects rolled around inside it."

“Hermione had taken his hand again and was gripping it tightly. He could not look at her, but returned the pressure, now taking deep, sharp gulps of the night air, trying to steady himself, trying to regain control. He should have brought something to give them, and he had not thought of it, and every plant in the graveyard was leafless and frozen. But Hermione raised her wand, moved it in a circle through the air, and a wreath of Christmas roses blossomed before them. Harry caught it and laid it on his parent's grave.
As soon as he stood up he wanted to leave: He did not think he could stand another moment there. He put his arm around Hermione's shoulders, and she put hers around his waist, and they turned in silence and walked away through the snow, past Dumbledore's mother and sister, back toward the dark church and the out-of-sight kissing gate.” 
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

“Hermione turned and beamed at Harry; her eyes, too, were full of tears.
‘…then I declare you bonded for life.” 
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Back to reality!  I need to put my hobby aside for a little while and start getting some things done.
The sun came out then it started RAINING!!!!
