THAT’S THE WAY I SAW IT

MANY REASONS TO LOVE AMERICA

The other day I picked up the book 1,001 Reasons to Love America by Hubert Pedroli and Mary Tiegreen.

The book’s introduction states the list for reasons to love America is endless “and we had to reduce it down to 1,001. Our hope is that this book serves as an inspiration to discover other things to love about our great country.”

Our patriotic songs: America The Beautiful, Star Spangled Banner, America, God Bless America and This Land is Your Land.

Baseball Legends: Jackie Robinson, Satchel Paige, Lou Gehrig, Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio and Henry Aaron.

Our great Presidents: Washington, Lincoln, FDR and many others. Our parks, monuments, Mt. Rushmore and the Statue of Liberty.

This book 320 pages in many colors and black and white is one terrific book.

A good attitude is to think everyday some reason why you can love America.

These Strong Female Leads Grapple With Ethics ~ At The Movies With Kasey
On the heels of Women’s History Month, a string of movies dropped that tell the stories of women making changes, both political and personal. Among these projects, I found a couple of movies featuring strong performances and thin plots as well as a gem of a coming-of-age story. On Netflix, Shirley follows the 1972 presidential campaign ...
April Is The 4th Month Of The Year… We Think
The month of April has a variety of titles, meanings, and sayings, and some are contradictory with each other. For example, April is a spring month in the northern half of the world and a fall month in the southern half. The month of April goes way back. Before January and February were added to the ...
Wishes, Politics, & Expatriates Shine On The Small Screen ~ At The Movies With Kasey
Whether you are in the mood for a classic romcom, a bizarre satire, or a moody miniseries, the major streamers have new content for you.

Slow & Steady: A Smart Way To Invest
You’ve probably heard stories about fortunate investors who “get in the ground floor” of a new, hot company and quickly make a fortune. But while these things may happen, they are exceedingly rare and often depend on hard-to-duplicate circumstances — and they really don’t represent a viable way of investing for one’s goals. A far ...
Oscar Nominees In Theaters Or At Home ~ At The Movies With Kasey
The close of awards season brings a peculiar moment with few good new movies, but award-winners getting rereleased or hitting streaming platforms. I write from the week before the Academy Awards, but the paper will not come out until afterward, so I am not making predictions about wins. Instead, I want to celebrate some incredible ...
