Melissa--You're my hero for the week. The last time I went to your house, its tidiness blew me away. Based on what Lisa says, you deserve at least 60% credit for that. I love it. And now you're the first to put up your Time Capsule. Awesome. Love the photo additions. I like the photo you've included from In America. I nominated the girl--Emma Bolger--for a Wevie when this film came out a couple of years ago. One question: What's up with the Better Homes and Gardens photo?
I am assuming that the "Better Homes and Gardens" photo you referenced is the photo next to the Trips section. That is a photo of the living area of the cabin we stayed at in Arkansas.
I don't think I've ever been anyone's hero before, but I like it....even if it is just for the week.
Hey, what a good idea to post the time capsule here. I've been working on mine and I'll post it soon.
Thanks for your comment on my blog. You inspired me to make it bilingual.
I was very impressed with your blog. I didn't think there would be so much interesting stuff. I will definetly keep checking by in.
Red Neck Yacht Club??? Didn't see that one coming. Very interesting time capsule girlie.
You mentioned three movies that are standouts as far as I'm concerned. I just really, really loved Billy Elliott - I've seen it four times. I could almost live a year on that final scene. The other two are Bend It Like Beckham - I loved the cross-culture, and sports triumph stuff, and of course my personal hero's movie (Clint Eastwood), Million Dollar Baby.
