Favorite Western Movie or TV series — 3:10 to Yuma – I loved the authentic western flavor and fascinating array of villains in this movie!

Oh, poor Kay! I’m down with a bug of some kind today but stopping in at the Junction always makes me feel good. I am thrilled so many of you fillies like chocolate and Sam Elliott and John Wayne/Maureen O’Hara. I’m feeling right at home!
My favorite saying: Nothing’s so bad that it couldn’t get worse. (although I could add a couple of meaningful but snoozer ones from another fave, Henry David Thoreau.)
So sorry about your hand, Karen! Hope it gets
to feeling better soon!

When Charlene said: >>>She fell and broke her right hand not long ago and missed her day to blog. But that’s okay.
She didn’t mean it was OKAY that Karen broke her hand. She meant we are here and ready to help so she can rest her poor hand.
Right? Charlene?
A more compassionate reading is in order. 😀
I love Man from Stone Creek. Linda Lael Miller. It’s just one of my stand-by favorites that I pull out and read through every once in a while.
Tanya,
Hope you feel better too!I hope Kay’s hand heals quickly. I can’t imagine a writer who can’t write or type that is!
Love to you both!
Yep, Mary, I’m sure that’s what Charlene meant!
And Cindy, thank you SO much for bidding on our western loot bag. We hope you enjoy every goody in there!
