Wishing you a very merry Happy Valentine’s Day! Sending everyone chocolate cake wishes and gifts you buy for yourself. I am always a hopeful romantic, but life doesn’t get to decide if I get Valentine’s today or not. Thanks to Amazon I bagged myself a bunch of Hayley Mills movies arriving tomorrow to add to my collection. Binge watch party this weekend!
The other day I was pondering where I got my sense of adventure and crazy from, besides my family. Who were my roll models growing up? Hayley Mills definitely sticks out. One favorite Disney movie of hers is “That Darn Cat,” but my all time favorite Hayley Mills movie is “The Truth About Spring.”
In the past only bootleg copies of the movie were available, but low and behold the other night on Amazon I discovered Universal released a new copy. It is winging it’s way to me as we chat. My military romance writing incorporates a dash of my real background, the fiction characters who inhabit my head and a healthy dose of Hayley Mills.
No matter where we are in our life, romance and adventure spectrum, we need to keep a piece of Hayley Mills alive in our hearts.
Rock this Valentine’s Day! Buy yourself an oldie but goodie something and celebrate. (I got a pink light up rubber ducky at the store this week. Just saying.)
Hugs and pink hearts to all!
Thank you for being my Valentines!

Happy Valentine’s Day, Kim! I, too, am awaiting the arrival of an oldie-but-goodie movie from Amazon, though my choice has more to do with my WIP than with romance: Silverado!

Happy Valentine’s Day! That Darn Cat was my favorite movie for about three years. It’s also a great book, but substantially different than the movie. I totally understand and share your Hayley Mills fandom. My brother tried to convince me that the Lindsay Lohan remake was as good as the original Parent Trap, but he was never a blonde girl in the ’60s so he couldn’t understand that even if it had been as good, which it wasn’t, it wouldn’t have been as good. Ya know?
