So yes, I know this post was from a few weeks ago but I can not see Ducky without automatically seeing this scene in my head so…you are all welcome.

I’d forgotten how much I love this movie..

I have a date with a 24 year old tonight. I need to figure out who’s streaming it. I wonder if she’ll enjoy it as much as I do.

Those bags were also perfect for the newspaper drives..... each one held about 2 week's worth of papers.

We did paper drives with my high school band! They were fun. But hard work!
