A summer rain I'll never forget


A summer rain I’ll never forget nor will I forget the taste of his kiss or the feel of his hands as he pulled me to him in a way no other man ever had.   

I had seen him working on my friend’s parent’s ranch that summer.  It was the summer I turned 18 and it would the summer that would change my life forever for many reasons. 

I would watch him from the kitchen window as he tended to the horses and did whatever it was that ranch hands did.  His skin was kissed by the sun and always glittered and shined from sweat.  He smelled like musky sunshine and his jeans and boots fit like he was born in them. 
I went for a walk that day.  I should have stayed in.  We were warned by the weather service that things could get bad but being a know it all I decided to throw caution to the wind and wandered out anyway. 

I was a good mile, maybe even mile and a half from the ranch when the wind started to blow.  The rain came fast and hard and it was blinding.  I tried to look for shelter but saw none. 

All of a sudden and out of nowhere, there he was on top of his American Saddlebred. He put his hand down and moved the wet hair from across the front of my face.  I looked up at him and he put out his hand motioning for me to grab it and I did.  With that he pulled me up as if I weighed nothing at all and there I was on top of the horse with this man I had only daydreamed about. 

The barn offered us shelter from the storm
He pulled on the reigns and the horse took off with us on him.  I sat behind him and held onto to him for dear life burying my chin and face into his back. He said he knew of a barn down yonder and we would be safe there until the storm passed. 

Come back soon to read what happened between Lucia and her cowboy as they waited for the sky to clear. 

EXTRA CASH
Earn cash while you watch TV!!

I am always looking for ways to make extra cash.  I am a mother and grandmother of 10 and I need all the spare cash I can get for birthday gifts and surprises for grandkids.  I found a way to make some extra cash that is legitimate and fun and I do it while watching TV.  I take surveys with this company MintVine and they deposit money right into my Paypal account.  If you would like to try it, I can refer you in by you clicking this referral link.

DAYS of our lives: Daniel and Nicole playing Towel!!

Image captured from Days YouTube episode aired 1-26-15
How cute are Daniel and Nicole?  I really hope they let these two stay together a little while although rumor has it they are going to have Daniel break up with Nicole because he thinks she is still wanting Eric.  Quite frankly Eric is to bland for Nicole.  I am glad they are over.  

I would like to know what secret hell Serena has planned for Eric?  Why have some pictures of him half naked on what looked to be hotel bed.  Could it be that she is just come to town the claim the man who left her for the cloth  in Africa?  I thought they were going to have her be his baby Momma  but I guess not.  

Instead she is a crooked journalist that has taken credit for her ex-lovers work?  That just does not sound evil enough to me.  I could write a better story line than that.  He almost sounds like a jealous jilted lover.  

Anyhow, I love this scene with Nicole and Daniel.  They really do have so much fun filming scenes together and you can see it and feel it.

DAYS- The Melanie & Brady Pairing - Weird or great?


Image captured from DAYS YouTube Channel aired 1-15-15

This blog post is about Thursday’s episode. Are you okay with the Melanie and Brady pairing?  Do you think the writers are just looking for trouble to write about? 

My personal opinion is that a Brady and Melanie pairing are just too weird. I actually like him with Theresa so maybe I think it is weird.  

Since Brady is good friends with her Dad and they are basically piers, if I were Dr. Dan, I would have a problem with my alcoholic/drug addict friend dating my daughter. 

Do you like the Melanie and Brady developing story-line?    


I want to say thank you to the people that are reading my blogs.  I will keep writing as long as you keep reading.  We are not always going to agree but I do hope that you enjoy most of what I write and I write to share with you.

DAYS: Finally a different facial expression from Jordan



Image captured from DAYS YouTube Channel from episode aired on 1-14-15

This blog post is about Wednesday’s episode.  I loved her on AMC as Amanda but man has she been pretty boring on DAYS.  Look, I know Chrishell Stause’s work from ALL MY CHILDREN and DAYS has NOT USED her to her full potential.  In fact, far from it.
Let me tell you a little bit about Chrishell Stause. 

Chrishell played Amanda Dillon on AMC.  She was a fan favorite as she was the daughter of Trevor Dillon and her character grew up on story-line. 

The fans got to watch her grow up, get married and have a baby on story-line on AMC and through all of that, we saw her face some huge trial and tribulations from being kidnapped, BEAT CANCER and more.  Chrishell played Amanda from 2005 until 2011 when the show (AMC) went off the air. 

At DAYS we have seen them take her storyline from us thinking she might be some kind of secret agent with all her ID’S maybe in a relocation program to finding out she was hiding from an abusive step-father who used to have his way with her (rape her) when she was a teenager. 

She had a good man in Rafe but jealousy and not being able to get over him sleeping with Kate when they were on a time out was too much for her to forgive.  Now she is sleeping with Chad who is using her and we know she is leaving the show so we know she has less than 4 months left of air time and the word is that her character is being written off. 

In this photo, she confronts her wicked step father about being the anonymous donor funding her great project at the hospital and quite frankly, wicked step father has had enough. 

He throws her down on the bed and this is her reaction.  We have seen the same facial expression with her in almost every scene but here is a different facial expression.  I made her new facial expression the heading of this post because so many viewers have commented on it being the same for months on all the DAYS SOAP Groups ONLINE. 

I hope if Chrishell gets another part in ANOTHER soap, they give her a better storyline than Jordan/Tammy Sue has had over here at DAYS! 

It looks like DAYS are getting ready to give her a big sendoff with a huge storyline.  I hope that happens because I know this actress has the chops to make it work even if DAYS viewers don’t think so. 

I want to say thank you to the people that are reading my blogs.  I will keep writing as long as you keep reading.  We are not always going to agree but I do hope that you enjoy most of what I write and I write to share with you.

B&B: Ridge makes his move - CRC Designs



Image captured from B&B YouTube Channel from Episode aired 1-14-15

This blog post is about Wednesday’s episode.  So right after Caroline speaks to Rick who is answering the phone via video so that Caroline can see he is in bed with Maya, Ridge decides to make his move. 
 Let me tell you a little bit about Thornsten Kaye.
I have always been a fan of Thorsten Kaye since his days as Patrick on One Life to Live and then as Zach Slater on All My Children.  Thorsten has always had younger leading ladies and as he gets older, his leading ladies seem to get younger.  I just don’t see the ladies minding as he is a very attractive and sexy man. 

In real life, Thorsten lives with and has children with Susan Haskell, an actress he met while working on One Life to Live.  To the best of my knowledge, they never married but they do have children together.  Susan stays home and takes care of their kids. 

Getting back to B&B’s CURRENT STORY-LINE!  I think that Caroline should change her relationship status to single and post a few selfies of her and her new man on social media!  Just kidding, sort of!!  J   I don’t really think acting as immature as Rick would help things but it sure would be fun to watch Rick’s reaction.  

I do think that Ridge and Caroline should call a press conference and announce that they are opening up their own clothing line called, “Caroline Ridge Creations – CRC and move on. I don’t see how either one can continue to work at FC looking at Rick and Maya daily. I know I couldn’t. 

What do you think of the idea of Ridge and Caroline starting their own clothing design firm?  They certainly have the name and the expertise to pull it off and I have to wonder why neither has spoken of it up to this point? Loyalty to Eric should not be a consideration as he has not been loyal to either of them walking away and letting that tyrant of a son run things.

DAYS: Clyde tells Victor how it is going to be


Image captured from DAYS YouTube Channel episode aired 1-13-15

I watch this episode on Tuesday as Victor did his usual threatening to an adversary and this time it was CLYDE.        

Clyde was not having it.  How ironic that both Victor and Stefano both hate Clyde.  They may have to join forces to get rid of this guy because he is pretty slick.    

He is like the Gotti of the Hillbilly Mafia, like the Teflon Don everything slides right off of him.  Have we all forgotten that he is the reason why EJ is dead?  What do you think Stefano will do when he finds that out and he will find that out? 

He is about 20 years younger than both Victor and Stefano as I believe those actors are in their 70’s and Clyde is probably in his late 50’s.

Is everybody ready to see Clyde get his?  I think it is going to be a while. I think that Clyde is going to control drugs and most of the underhanded business in Salem for a little while now. 

I also think that his son is going to go to work for him and soon.  It’s going to get real ugly all up there in Salem.  Do you think that Ben is going to go to work for his father? 

Do you think that Stefano and Victor will join forces to get rid of Clyde?
