HOw To LOSING PARTS OF OUR CHILDHOOD

This year has been particularly bad when it comes to celebrity deaths.  So many of them shocking, sudden, and unexpected.  

Of course that is as death often does.  

But when they come to our childhood heroes, our idols, the people that create the music that is the backdrop for a part of our life, well, then it's as if a little piece of our childhood is left behind.


Carrie Fisher.  

Actress.  Screenwriter.  Author.  She has a lot of jobs behind her name and deservedly so, but for millions, probably hundreds of millions, myself one of them, she will always be Princess Leia.  In the most recent movie, she had changed titles to General Leia.  And that's fitting, she was always kind of a bad ass in both her on screen roles and in her personal life.  She had struggles but was always open about those struggles, hoping that if someone could learn from them then something good would come of it.

I met her at a Star Wars convention once, in a childhood far, far away, and she was as nice and pleasant and friendly in person as I could have hoped for. This was even at the height of her Star Wars popularity but again just down to Earth and ever so sweet to a starstruck little boy meeting a "real life Princess" from a galaxy far, far away.  

The remaining movies will be missing a piece of their heart.


George Michael.  

Singer.  Entertainer.  Pop superstar.  Again, tragically, living a troubled life off stage but never letting that affect him onstage.  What a show he could put on.  I had the joy of seeing him twice in concert.  I saw him when he was one half of WHAM! and it was the first concert that I EVER went to.  What a memory.  What a concert.  Then I saw him a few years later, though from the nosebleed section of the arena, when he had his Faith world tour.  One of the best concerts I've ever seen.  What a beautiful man and what an amazing voice.  

He was just about to start work on a new album, now silenced far too soon

It sucks getting older...

 SAD UPDATE, TONIGHT...

And now we have lost the iconic actress Debbie Reynolds, one day after her daughter.  No words.

 Can 2016 just end early?

HOw To HORTON HEARS A WHO FLOWERS IN BLOOM

Image
For some reason, these don't always appear at the farm each Spring.  Because of that, we love that somehow they are rarer than the other things popping up on a regular basis.   Dr. Seuss flower? Sure enough, last weekend, they were in a few patches around the farm.  The first time we ever saw one, the FIRST thing we both said was... HORTON HEARS A WHO!!!!!!! The iconic Dr. Seuss character who finds a whole world living on a speck on an awesome looking pink and yellow flower.  Horton Hears a Who flower The only thing missing on ours are the striped stems, ha.  They are SO pretty and so unusual, even if it is "just a weed", we love having them around.   I thought about cutting some to put in a small vase and see how long they last...and maybe we'll just have to start listening a little closer to them. Hmm, just thought about it, maybe I should try to press some in my flower press?
