Part TenHIP HIP HOORAY - what FUN this has been!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />The 60s was a decade dominated by war - the effects of Vietnam (although not a world war) were felt worldwide. The 60s was the start of showing that people can effect politics. Student demonstrations began. JFK became the 35th president and he was assassinated in November, 1963. These are events we will never forget. It was 1969 when Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. WOW!!!!!!!!<br />The smiley face became popular! Women wore mini skirts and leather boots - men wore paisley shirts and bell bottoms. The innocence of the 50s turned into the hippie generation. It was a decade of change (but, aren't they all?). I have mostly great memories of the 60s....I loved the music, the movies, the television....I loved the innocence! I walked to school...I played in the streets most nights...there were NO cell phones or computers....we had only about four TV channels and TV was BLACK and WHITE (at least for us it was!!)...we actually KNEW our neighbors and those kids were our best friends!! I'll never forget the innocence and the happiness that was the 60s!!! <br />This has been GGGGGGGGREAT fun and I hope you enjoyed our trip down memory lane!!!<br /><br />COMMENT to be eligible to win!!! I will pick two winners of the Rural Jardin fat quarters this weekend....so, keep watching and STAY TUNED!!!!!!!!<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">joe</span></strong>Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00036392262877518169noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2500098036819688357.post-88996709694783878292010-06-23T11:52:00.000-07:002010-06-23T12:03:17.468-07:00REVISIT THE 60s!!!!!!!!!

Part OneThere was a group on Good Morning America this morning - Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. I had NEVER heard of them and they have many hit CDs and are (supposedly) very popular. This made me start thinking........will Grace Potter and the Nocturnals someday be a legendary band like the Beatles or The Rolling Stones? I think not. But then again, my parents were probably equally stymied with The Beatles. Time marches on........<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I am a product of the 60s - and proud of it!!!!! So, I thought it might be fun to relive some of the FUN of the sixties. Recently I received reminders of the 60s from two "Gazette" readers.<br /><br /><br />(SIDEBAR - For those of you not familiar with The Gazette, I write a weekly newsletter for our quilt shop, ThimbleCreek. You, too, can read the weekly news - go to <a href="http://www.thimblecreek.com/">http://www.thimblecreek.com/</a> to sign up!) ANYWAY, I want to relive some of my memories of the 60s with <strong><span style="font-size:130%;">YOU!!!!!</span></strong><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>KEEP READING my blog over the next several days....I'll visually remind you of the 60s. EVERYONE who responds with a comment will be entered in a drawing for a group of fat quarters from The French General's <span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;">Rural Jardin</span> new fabric line. I'll share pictures of the fabric later.....but you can win a NICE selection of fat quarters just by reliving the 60s with me!! I'll pick the WINNER when I'm through reminding you of the 60s!!! Probably 10 days or so....so, keep reading my blog and keep commenting so you'll have more chances to WIN the fat quarters!!!! </strong><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />For TODAY....this is one of my FAVORITE singers....she had a great gravelly voice - a real rocker!! Who is she?????<br /><br /><br /><br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 332px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483051374562023202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif6vRxvve5o1iAZgqqcq5H5cTdqZ0AF7rrERY8iOkj9AyRnlmGUPif98Wer3PVRrWJHJ0Dw_i8AL3mWm8WdZMPcPSTDePaqqZBGJal9bo6WUu8yusruRAl2X-I7f14eGAODnlN9rOUcoo/s400/janis.jpg" />NOW, STAY TUNED......tune in tomorrow for more 60s FUN!!!!!</p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">joe</span><br /></strong></p>Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00036392262877518169noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2500098036819688357.post-36347513518331492372010-05-15T09:34:00.000-07:002010-05-15T09:41:19.189-07:00OFF TO MARKET!!!!!!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6mf-UOANtDmYCnMMsaPjor17inv7IYC06Hyxp3XmIfNNtgT1J_1_s3hOV-UiZcu0Iifsw99jvAC-Mbl6MOjwa70hQ1pCD73GvPrskFXoCXsU7imCNatw_R8BLHyXc7G5Im6IDBJdHdCg/s1600/quilt+market.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471537413219090018" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6mf-UOANtDmYCnMMsaPjor17inv7IYC06Hyxp3XmIfNNtgT1J_1_s3hOV-UiZcu0Iifsw99jvAC-Mbl6MOjwa70hQ1pCD73GvPrskFXoCXsU7imCNatw_R8BLHyXc7G5Im6IDBJdHdCg/s400/quilt+market.jpg" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#000099;">We're going to Minneapolis this next week!

In fact, as soon as I finished the book, I IMMEDIATELY read Julia Child's book, My Life In France. The movie is based on both books and it is a MUST SEE!!!!!!!!!</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#660000;">I have read a few reviews and I agree with a lot of the reviewers' comments. Meryl Streep is amazing (she is a singular sensation!!!) and Amy Adams is terrific as Julie. I wanted to see more of Meryl simply because I think she's the best actress out there, bar none. But the movie did not suffer from not enough Meryl.</span></div><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#660000;"></span></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367993052961301890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgqXShY7BDpHNwXFbuBeblunDaDNugIn0TNhlkT1VmM2ddXvLehgq9h8_GCAm8VMnXO7O8lSMnPwhQGkxvR1NSZnby9S3eZlBfESpMTIu7baqmCl2qVR060D791yv1uesM25yM60UENhA/s320/meryl+as+julia+with+paul.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#660000;">The stories are wonderfully interwoven jumping from Paris to New York. There is a connection between these two ladies that is wonderful to watch. Roxie and I had smiles on our faces throughout the movie. IT IS A DELIGHT!!!! And I rate it FIVE out of four thimbles!!!!</span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#660000;">I should also state that you should not go to this movie if you are hungry. Maybe it won't matter, because you'll be ready to eat AGAIN after watching this gastronomic delight. We had a late dinner after the movie - and we savored EVERY bite!!!</span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#660000;">Without hesitation I am telling you to GO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!! I may be premature, but this one is Oscar worthy!! And Meryl should be a shoo in for Best Actress!!!!!</span><br /><br /></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#660000;">Now, get me to Paris!!! I want to live where Julia lived, cook where Julia cooked, shop where Julia shopped, walk the streets that Julia walked, and live the life that Julia and Paul lived.</span><br /></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#660000;">AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
