In fact your Betty Crocker story is very interesting, and very funny too! Also, did you know that the 4,000-5,000 letters that she got everyday included marriage proposals. Anyways, I really liked this Bucket List post of yours. I liked how you made a list for yourself too! In fact maybe I should start making my list before I "kick the bucket!" Dear Mrs. Foxworth,

The movie’s just a little bit smarter than one would expect from a typical two-hanky older-crowd-pleaser. Cinematical It was a short movie, yet sweet throughout. It really told the story of this strong friendship, and really drove home the point that life isn’t over until it’s over. You can still accomplish, love, make friends, and laugh it up until your very last moment. Would I see it again? Maybe on HBO, and maybe starting from the middle. But You Don’t Look Sick Over the weekend I went to see the movie Bucket List. No deep thinking was required; it was just a “feel good, appreciate life” kind of movie.
