Once upon a time, I watched a lot of television. Had a couple of shows that I watched each night, and I would often schedule my life around getting home in time to see a certain show.

Of the many household chores I hate doing, grocery shopping has to be near the top of the list, right up there with doing the laundry and unloading the dishwasher.

When I was a kid, I used to get a kick out of listening to some of the expressions some of the older folks would say. For instance, whenever dark clouds appeared on the horizon, they’d always say, “Looks like we’re gonna have weather.”

A few days ago, we celebrated President’s Day, which used to be called George Washington’s Birthday, wherein we celebrated the father of our country, the man who didn’t lie about cutting down a cherry tree, making him the first and only politician to tell the truth.

One of my favorite movies of all time is “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.” It stars Jimmy Stewart as Jefferson Smith, a naive man appointed to fill a vacancy in the U.S. Senate.

When I was a kid, I loved watching “The Jetsons,” a cartoon about a family set in the space-age future.

A couple of weathermen mentioned the “s” word the other day, sending North Georgia into a typical frenzy.

Someone on Facebook this week asked her friends to post which movies scared them as children, and it really wasn’t hard for me to decide.
