By N. Thomas "LibraryFiend" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Lilies (DVD) ...so addicted was I to the next turn of the plot!

"Lilies" follows the lives of the Moss family, led by Nelson "Dadda", comprised of son William (Billy) and daughters Iris, May, and Ruby. Mrs. Mary Moss has been dead approximately 15 years and Iris, the eldest, has become the lady of the house. Dadda works as an amateur veterinarian and herbalist. Iris creates confections and sells them to a local sweets store. May is in service to the nouveau-riche Mr. and Mrs. Brazendale. Ruby, William's twin and the youngest, just starts into peddling women's corsets at the beginning of the series.

Screenplay written by Heidi Thomas

Historical Events: Post World War II Garston, a poor area of Liverpool, is portrayed realistically. Scarlet fever reared its ugly head. Immigration was touched upon (the local butcher was from Austria), as well as issues of eugenics, female emancipation, and homosexuality, which was then illegal.

Stars: Eithne Browne, Marie Critchley, Curtis Rivers, Barry McCormick, Georgia Taylor

The 39 Clues Books

My grandson recently told me about the 39 Clues books. I'd never heard of them and asked him if they were mystery books.

I know he loves reading Encyclopedia Brown books and other who-dunits.

He said it wasn't really a mystery but a brother and sister whose grandmother leaves them a million dollars or a clue in her will. Sounds intriguing! There are 10 books in all.

After researching these books, I think I'll have to read them! On Amazon, the first book, The Haze of Bones, shown here, has a 4.3-star rating out of 5 stars. Comments all remark on how they can't wait to start the next book.

Meatless Dinner Ideas

Sometimes I love to just have a lunch of what my mom called "little dabs." She would pull out everything from the refrigerator including leftovers, pickles, opened containers like cottage cheese, and we'd all choose from the assortment what to eat.

And if we finished them all, Mom would say, "It'll be a fair day tomorrow!" I don' know why, but that's what she said.

Here's my latest Little Dabs lunch: half a red bell pepper, sliced beets, kidney beans, crackers, pickles, cottage cheese, and olives from the bottom of the barrel. Yum!

Lego Watch Kids Can Build

I interviewed an 8-year-old boy about his Lego watch. He was impressed with it from the get go!

His Lego watch is an analog watch (you know, the kind with hands), so he's learning to tell time the good old-fashioned way!

Interviewer: How do you like your Lego watch?

8-Year-Old: It's good.

Interviewer: What is good about it?

8-Year-Old: You can put it together the way you want. You can use the colors you like.

Interviewer: What else can you tell me about your Lego watch?

8-Year-Old: My Lego watch came with a minifigure that you can stick on here (pointing to a 2 x 1 sticking up on the watch).

How To Make Compost -- Organic Fertilizer

Use the following organic materials (peels, cores, leftovers, rotten, you get the idea) to make organic fertilizer:

apples
avocados
bananas
carrots
cucumbers
grapefruit, oranges, lemons
peppers
potatoes
strawberries
coffee grounds and filters (unbleached filters are best)
eggshells
cardboard egg cartons
dryer lint, from natural fabrics like cotton and linen
newspapers
shredded paper, white paper with black ink
leaves and grass clippings
peat moss
chicken, horse, or rabbit manure

Using these composting tips won't guarantee a great-producing garden, but they will help gardeners make good fertilizer that makes the harvest safe for their family to eat. Young children can toss food scraps into compost piles, and older children can help turn the compost, aerating it so the materials break down faster producing good compost quickly.

Microcrafts: Tiny Treasures to Make and Share

I made this blue Monster Baby and a lot of Cats like this yellowish orange one from the two separate projects in Microcrafts. They are easy felt projects that take very little materials and very little time to whip up.

For the Monster Baby, I used blue and white felt and black thread. And not much of either one.

For the Cat, I used orange felt and black thread. Again, just a tiny bit of each.

I used one cotton ball to stuff about five of these guys. They are itsy bitsy.
