Watching "Older" Movies

 When I was under the weather, (I'm all better now), I was in search of good Romance Movies to watch.
I watched 3 excellent movies, that I had already seen and I enjoyed watching them.
 I enjoyed both movies more, the second time around.
The first really good movie I watched was...

- P.S. I Love You -
If you decide to watch it, be sure to have a full box of tissues with you,  you will need them.


Both Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler were excellent in this love story.
Without giving too much away, a wife finds out husband is dying.
The young widow discovers that her late husband left 10 messages for her before he died.
Very cute, romantic and just so sweet.


The second great movie, I watched was

- A Little Bit Of Heaven -


A romantic comedy about a free spirited woman who learns she has terminal cancer,
 and falls in love (head over heels) with her doctor.


The last of my favorites was...

- Look Both Ways -



This Netflix romantic comedy is about a young woman whose life splits into two parallel timelines 
on the night of college graduation.
 - one where she gets pregnant and stays in her home town and raises the baby -
the other where she does not get pregnant, moves to L.A. to pursue her dream as an animator.
The movie shows both outcomes back and forth so you have to pay attention.
It is not a good "knitting" movie.


Two other favorites that I did not watch because you have to pay for them now,

- Five Feet Apart -
- The Fault In Our Stars -

Another all time favorite is

- The Notebook -

Soup and Stuff

The hubs picked up a five dollar chicken at Costco before the last storm.
We get three meals from one chicken.
I don't have a recipe for my Chicken Noodle Soup...


these are the ingredients...I just eyeball everything.


Whenever I make this soup, I always used leftover chicken from Costco,

and for this pot of soup, I had frozen stock that I made myself.
I wrote about making my own chicken stock here.


The homemade stock was delicious and made a big difference in the soup.


It was so delicious, we can't eat soup without crackers and I always have some in the pantry.

And because I had the good ole' five dollar chicken from Costco...

I made a big bowl of chicken salad...h
ere's a look before I added the mayo.

We still have snow on the ground and I am debating if I should switch out my flag.

My daffodils are starting to make an appearance, but the crocus will bloom first.
16 days until spring and as much as I love winter and snow, I am looking forward to spring.
Our 10 day weather forecast is awesome, 70's next week!
