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.

The Young and the Restless: Victor gave me indigestion




Image captured from YouTube Y&R Channel from episode that aired 1-28-15
 This blog post is about Wednesday episode.   I have to admit that even though this is a soap and none of this is real, I got real indigestion over yesterday’s episode.  The way Victor can orchestrate theft and act like he is entitled to steal makes me physically ill.

He has the nerve to say to his daughter, this is real business and espionage as if that makes it okay to steal corporate documents and things belong to others.

Then to top it off, he says he is doing it in the name of being what is best for business and best for his family. For Victoria to lie right to Ashley’s face was disgusting as well.

Then for Victoria to USE her children against her father is just as bad as what he does.  Those apples not only don’t fall far from the tree, they are still attached to the freaking tree.  Nick and Victoria are both as bad as their father.  

 This makes Stitch look bad and she has shown her true colors! 


I don’t blame Ashley for being upset and they should call the police on Victor. Do you think rushing to market to get the product out there before Victor is going to work?

Straight from this heart of mine

Hi Everyone, A few days ago I was approved for a new SOAP BLOG by GOOGLE.  Normally this process takes 6 months. I had been posting my Let's Get Soapy blogs here at this blog. Now I will use this blog for what I had originally wanted to use it for regarding things that all come from the heart.  I want to talk about movie that touch heartstrings, music that does the same thing. I want to talk about family and love and babies, puppies and kittens. All things that make you go awe!!I hope you decide to stick around and if you want to keep up with my soap blog, recaps, predictions and theories, get on over to http://letsgetsoapy.blogspot.com/

I am a songwriter and I wrote a song that was inspired by the horrific tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary.  The name of the song is, "BE THE CHANGE" Feel free to share the video if this song moves you.

Y&R: Looney Tunes Much – Phyllis or Kelly?


Image captured from Y&R YouTube Channel episode aired 1-14-15

This blog post is about Wednesday’s episode.  Who do you think set this whole thing up?  Was it Phyllis or Kelly or perhaps it is somebody from Jack’s past gas-lighting both Phyllis & Kelly?
Now wouldn’t that make for an interesting story-line?  Perhaps it is PATTY the nut (Paul’s sister).  Has anyone checked out that she is still locked up all safe and sound?  She was infatuated with Jack if I remember correctly. 

I think it would make for a fantastic story-line to have Patty pitting these two women against each other for Jack.  It would be so much fun to watch.If the writers’ don’t have enough imagination and foresight to write that, then I guess the viewer needs to decide is this Kelly or Phyllis who is doing this?  In this photo featured here, it certainly looks like Phyllis is the nut job. 

One thing is for sure, both KELLY & PHYLLIS (aka Cady & Gina, former AMC & OLTL actresses,) are doing a heck of a good job playing their roles.

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?

B&B: Do you love me Rick?


Image captured from B&B YouTube aired 1-13-15

So everybody is telling Maya that Rick moved her in, put up the awful portrait and is having sex with her in his father’s bed all because he still loves Caroline.         

Carter asked Maya if Rick has told her he loves her?  Maya actually told Carter, “not yet.”  Geez, I don’t think I’d admit that if it were happening to me. So Maya heads home with a plan to get Rick to say I love you.  She tells him several time in several different ways and they end the episode with Rick basically looking at her with one of those looks, “chick you off your rocker?” 

Is it possible that Rick really is using Maya?  Are there no feelings there?  When Ridge said to him, tell me one more time that you are done with your wife and I will believe you, did Rick NOT understand what Ridge was saying to him.  He let him know right then and there that he was going to go after his woman. I am really looking forward Ridge and Caroline getting together.  I would like to see Caroline shoot some selfies with her and Ridge.    

Who is ready to see some Ridge and Caroline action just to see Ricks reaction?
