It's just that I wonder if a newspaper reporter didn't make up that rhyme to sell newspapers.<br />I just saw that this movie would be shown and wanted to tell you about it. I find true stories about real people the most interesting. You might have figured that out by now!<br /><br />I wonder why in the world I showed y'all my crochet candle cover, it is so simple...anyone who crochets, might wonder too!<br />We did have a nice weekend. Monday in Atlanta, the high was 60 degrees...tomorrow morning (Wednesday) it will be about 20 degrees! Take care everyone! I am better but now, Richard is sick!

I had heard about that movie with Christina Ricci, but forgotten about it, so I'm glad you mentioned it here. I'd really like to watch it!Plowing Through Life (Martha)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06547318824997712369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-35686389816179697502014-01-18T20:52:04.486-05:002014-01-18T20:52:04.486-05:00There really are some inappropriate old nursery rh...There really are some inappropriate old nursery rhymes and stories that were allowed way back when, so this wouldn't surprise me at all as a jump-rope rhyme.

I also have seen the paranormal dudes from different shows who have investigated the Borden home...seems to be haunted...wouldn't you want to stay there and have a lovely breakfast if you survive the night? I wonder what the specialty of the house is?!

Imagine that kind of family life, it would make anyone go mad, but of course that does not give anyone license for murder.<br />Whether she was guilty or not - and her keeping on living in the same town for the rest of her life rather points to her being not guilty - we will never find out. In the meantime, her case continues to be the object of books and films, and blog posts.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-34190943260009141702014-01-17T22:38:47.728-05:002014-01-17T22:38:47.728-05:00Cute candle cozy, Kay!

I've really made an effort to understand more about the game this year, and it's quite fascinating. I've been ranking all the quarterbacks by how pretty their eyes are. Drives my husband crazy! Manning is the best ever ~ but Joe Flacco has the best eyes! As for Lizzy Borden, I don't know if she was guilty or not. But as a third grade teacher who has spent a lot of time on the playground, kiddos are more than capable of skipping rope to that rhyme and worse! Have a good one!Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-40000808675518108202014-01-17T22:21:50.426-05:002014-01-17T22:21:50.426-05:00I read a book once that speculated Lizzie was a le...I read a book once that speculated Lizzie was a lesbian and having an affair with the maid. When her parents found out and were going to ruin her life, she killed them. Maybe it was one of the books you listed? Can't remember -- it's been awhile since I read it. I'd like to see that movie though. I like Christina Ricci. She'd make an appropriately enigmatic Lizzie.Debra She Who Seekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845703092794695023noreply@blogger.com
