Movie: Grey Gardens
While talking with friends about their favorite movies “Grey Gardens” was brought up. We had never heard about the film. There was a documentary made in 1975 about Big Eddie and Little Eddie. They were the relatives of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis .
What an interesting and odd Mother & Daughter they were. In 2008 there was a HBO movie made about them too. After watching the film we goggled Grey Gardens and were caught spending several hours learning more. Watch this film if you dare!

You Just Can Not make This Up
Our good friends Dan & Vanessa have twin boys. The boys are 6 years old, very smart, extremely polite and just so darn cute!!! The family just returned home from a long stay in London, England.
The boys brought us home a variety bag of English candies that they secured from a variety of London stores. We asked them how they liked England? They said it was very nice and the treats there were very good.
Then we asked if they got the chance to meet the Queen? With a very serious voice they both said, “No, she was not home!”
We smiled and asked how did they know she wasn’t home, respecting them to say the flag was not flying over her castle….
The boys said, “Mom rang her door bell and she didn’t answer.” LMAO LMAO !!!
