Our little spot six years later

We have this little spot in this little town that seems to always call us back, we named it "Our Beach". Even though we know it's not really ours but we have been going back to this little beach for over 15 years and our
dream is to live right down the street. Some day, you know when one of us wins the lottery or strikes it rich some how. Any hoot the reason I bring up our little beach is because this is why I love it so much.

Every memory we have here has been with these munchkins and even though they aren't little any more they still love to go with us. I have so many pictures since they were little it makes me so blessed to have our little beach, in a little town, we always go back to.

2016 Book To Movie List

I love reading a book first then watching the movie and critique it afterwards. For example The Martian was an amazing book I read in September-2015, I went with my son to see the movie, who suggested the book to me. This amazing book to movie was 95% accurate and exactly like the book. Books to movie also seem to cut things out and just keep the basic story line. For the Martian the story line was kept and just as I had pictured it. This is why I love reading books that are movies. To see how the director changes things and adds dialogue and to see if what you had in mind is what the author portrayed to others. It because so much more passionate and real.

Here is the list for 2016 and of course subject to change depending on filming. I’m not sure if I want to read each of these, I know there is probably a handful I want to read, some I've already read and others I have no desire too.  I found this list with a lot more information that I of course I didn’t need, but if you would like to check out Shellie’spage here is the link
