Dallas does DALLAS

....again! WAIT! DALLAS 2.0 as the media calls the show, starts a 10 episode series starts. I will be glued to the set. Hey, I was one of the millions glued to the TV when DALLAS came on. There were no VCR's, unless you had a $1000 to get one, once VCR's were invented, that is This original  DALLAS, was must see TV Friday nights. I lived in Iowa then.  My roommate and I would not leave the house, to go dance the night away, until we got our dose of JR, Bobby, Sue Ellen and everybody else in between. I do think the original jumped the shark when Bobby died, however what's done is done.  
***This brings us all the way to 2012. When I first heard about a new DALLAS series,  a year ago, I could not wait.A whole year?  UGH.  It was filmed around Dallas, including the infamous Southfork.
***Now DALLAS is back. All new. We have all aged some the show went off  in 1991.  I do not care-  I get to spend time with old friends who made my Fridays fun before I went out to have even more fun.
***Gotta get my popcorn ready.

Sunday Thoughts...

Church this morning. God is welcome in my house everyday. For at least one day, I can go to His. Sermon was on 2 Corinthians 4:7-9. About being a clay pot. How treasures inside are worth more than the vessel they’re stored in. Something to give pause on. .

Another pretty much 100 degree Summer Day in Texas. Also my 20th Anniversary of my move to Dallas from Iowa. Sizzlin then too. I recall my inner debate if I should get a/c in my new car then. About a week before my move, I had it put in. Smart.

Disco music plays from one of my cable stations. Heard a familiar tune—took me back to about 1981 or so. Spandex skirt, 4 inch heels, jheri curl and a boyfriend that shouldn’t have ever been on my Hit Parade. Three out of four ain’t bad. The song? “Lover’s Holiday” by Change, with a young Luther Vandross. As I danced the light fantastic around my house, my cat, Big Boy watched. He seemed to say, “Have you lost your mind?” He ran.

Wimbledon: Venus & Serena. Singles and Doubles 2008 Champions. History.

Presidential Election: When IS November? Possible first Black President. Possible Black First Lady. They will be servants of all the people, not servants of those that reside in the White House. Still believe he needs to pick Hillary as VP. History.

NFL Training Camp: Soon.

Autobiography: of my experiences Donny Osmond-not just a “My dad tipped the maitre’d 40 bucks in Las Vegas so we could sit close.”

My own business: Dream to come true

TV Tonight: New Food Network Star: Aaron McCargo Jr—LOVE HIM. He came alive on Rachel Ray’s show. He could fix me pizza anytime!

Life: I am blessed. Psalms 121

Thoughts of Past Loves

The Holidays are pretty much right here. Yep.  Especially since three Christmas movies, in the last three days, between Lifetime and Ha...
