Graduation Cards
Happy Weekend, Friends!
This is one of those extremely rare weekends with NO NEW Movie Premieres. I know some of us will miss them, while others may enjoy this brief break. Hallmark will return with a new rom-com next week as the network begins *Countdown to Summer*.
The first Saturday in May is well-known for the iconic Kentucky Derby. This year is a monumental celebration, as it is the 150th run for the roses. Horse racing, I must say, isn't something I generally follow throughout the rest of the year, but the Derby and the state of Kentucky hold a special place in my heart due to family ties there, and hearing the song "My Old Kentucky Home" always brings a tear to my eye. (I sure miss hearing them sing the lyrics, though.)
Speaking of horses, even though there aren't any new movies this weekend, there are new episodes of When Calls the Heart, Blue Ridge, and the season finale of Into the Wild Frontier, and horses will likely be seen in all three.
See all of the details below...

With Anna returning to the show this week after being away at teacher's college, it's a special time for all of the young ladies in Hope Valley. The pictures above nostalgically depict the women of Hope Valley, along with the young women, "the next generation"! It's amazing to see how much these young girls have grown up before our eyes through their years on When Calls the Heart—in the past 11 seasons!
Of all the relationships on When Calls the Heart, the friendships of these ladies are truly among the most beautiful!
Episode 5 - “Stronger Together” :
Storyline: Hickam and Lee clash with the mayor of Benson Hills, and Gowen suggests a solution with huge implications for the town. Elizabeth and Nathan clear up a misunderstanding.

When Calls the Heart Stars Movie Marathon
Watch your favorite stars from When Calls the Heart in back-to-back movies on Saturday, May 4, including the rom-coms: Feeling Butterflies, You Had Me at Aloha, Winter Castle, and It Was Always You.
*Please note: Three films during this marathon- Romance to the Rescue, A Lifelong Love, and A Tail of Love have side characters in a same-sex relationship. Click on their titles for reviews.
*Please note: I haven't pre-screened these episodes, but I have heard while the earlier episodes are enjoyable and family-friendly, some of the season 5 episodes of this police drama may contain content that is not for children. Viewer discretion is advised.
There's a marathon of Murder, She Baked and Hannah Swensen Mysteries movies on Saturday and Sunday, and a marathon of Curious Caterer Mysteries on Saturday, with an encore airing of their newest premiere: Curious Caterer: Foiled Plans.
I hope you all have a lovely first weekend in May! What a beautiful time of year it is to see everything bloom and grow. "April Showers, bring May flowers!"
