I've been sick on the couch since Sunday with a flu-like bug. Feeling much better tonight, but still need a little couch time. I re-watched "Julie and Julia" tonight and loved it all over again.
The movie is such an inspiration: Julia's life and Julie's life. If you haven't seen it, I think you should watch it very soon. However, after watching the movie this time, I googled the author and found her blog, as well as a few other blogs belonging to her. I have decided that if we knew each other in person, we probably wouldn't like each other very much. :o( But I still love her movie and appreciate that she brought us the story of Julia Child.
Now for the most exciting news.... this little guy turns ONE tomorrow! What a special year it has been for all of us. Avery is the sweetest little boy, with a great sense of humor already. He loves to make us laugh! I love this child: Happy Birthday Sweet Baby Boy!

Ha ha... love that picture everytime I see it...he will probably hate it when he's older.. but maybe not...love him!!
ReplyDeleteDon't know about Julia? She never appealed to me on her cooking shows. Maybe I do need to see the movie.
Glad you are feeling better!
Oh, how much fun is that? Happy Birthday, big boy!!
ReplyDeleteI think I would like to watch that movie again too! feel better
ReplyDeleteIt was a great movie, I read the book first and I agree she (Julie, not Julia) doesn't come across as someone you'd want to be pals with. A little whiny and self-absorbed. But a pretty good writer.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better! That picture is bound to make any grandma feel like a million dollars! Happy Birthday Avery! Can't believe its already been a year.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen Julia yet, but will put in on my list.
Grandchildren are the best! I can't imagine life without my 2 grandsons. Feel better.
ReplyDeleteOne already! Where has the year gone? What a cute picture.
ReplyDeleteI do love that movie. I never thought of looking up the woman who Amy Adams played.
Oh Penny!!!! What a cute picture of Avery! Looks like he is enjoying it to the max! So happy! :) Just gave me a big smile! HAPPY BIRTHDAY AVERY!
ReplyDeleteI LOVED that movie too! But it could be because I took a night off from my kids & my sisters & mom went to a FAB resteraunt & then an outdoor screening on a perfect summer night in a beautiful park. I never wanted that night to end! thanks for bringing up those warm memeories tonight! Gives me hope that warm weather will be here agin...someday :)
It cannot be a year! Oh my - he's a DOLL!
ReplyDeleteANd yes, I started reading her blog and ..uh..not for me. But I TRULY loved the movie - but then, it has Meryl Streep and Amy Adams..who could go wrong with that duo :-)
Pen PEN,
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better. I have a bad cold, just that time of year I guess. Not pretty good.
Boy talk about time going by, its been a year already? Well Happy Birthday to little Avery. I think I will pass on the cake.
