#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView great question

1/ yes but life has also taught me to say mostly yes, as sometimes yes can also make things tougher

2/ this is the closest I could find to Coen brothers' screenplay of “O Brother, Where Art Thou?“, a fantastic read and I love the movie just as much.

#ChristmasCheer #BowsAndRibbons if you are old , no sugar coating here,😄this records might have been in your parents or grandparents collection!

“Oh, the things you can think! Oh, the things you can think, If you‘re willing to try, Think invisible ink, Or a gink with a stink, Or a stairs to the sky!”

This book would be great in a classroom. it is full of poetry and has fun sing alongside with catchy rhymes! it has music rhyme and humor which could help to build language skills

Classic dr sheds book full of poetry!

This song is the opposite of uninspiring. If you haven't seen Ms. Franklin perform it in honor of Carole King at the Kennedy Center Honors, it's worth a look.

The Lord Of The Rings trilogy and The Hobbit. I think the movie adaptations of The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings were very good. I never felt like any of the movies were too long. I just had a great time watching the movies and I liked the story. What‘s amazing to me is that Tolkien made up all of the languages in the books.

This poem “A Christmas Carol" was written by Christina Rossetti in 1872. It is the basis for my favorite Christmas song In the Bleak Mid-winter. Here‘s the link to James Taylor‘s version ???:
