Happy Father's Day weekend to all of the fathers and grandfathers who visit here! May you get all the love and attention that you so richly deserve.
If any of you are watching the new or classic movies over the weekend, I hope you enjoy that. A special thank you to our friend and loyal reviewer Maria for providing TWO very helpful reviews of the new movies - see above. (Maria, I'm so grateful for you, and I know many here also appreciate you so much - as I certainly do!)
As for what I'm watching this weekend, I'll likely be recording the new movies and When Calls the Heart to watch later, as I'll be enjoying some special time with all of my family, especially my precious Daddy, who is a strong, hardworking farmer who works every day with his hands. One of the greatest Biblical lessons he has taught me in life is... "We reap, what we sow." I may be a little biased, but I think my Daddy is the bestest, and I love him dearly! He is genuine and kind, funny, friendly, and honest, as the day is long. Most importantly, he's a man who seeks God's heart. My family and I are blessed beyond words!
Of course, we are all blessed to have a heavenly Father who loves us and calls us His children. God wants each of us to have a personal relationship with Him. He is simply a prayer away.
I hope you all have a pleasant and peaceful Father's Day weekend!
God's blessings to you all!

Happy Father’s Day
ReplyDeleteI was looking at the Hallmark schedule page for the finale episode of WCTH and it mentions Elizabeth and her Fiancé. Then I realized I was looking at the info of a different movie(It Was Always You) underneath the WCTH info. Oops! Hahaha ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy Father's Day to my Dad and all the fathers on this site and fathers to the family members here! I'm pretty sure I say it for all how much we are blessed to have you in our lives and we thank God for you!! Have a great enjoyable day!!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully said, Net. Our Father in heaven is a prayer away.
ReplyDeleteOur sermon this morning was on the responsibility of fathers to model their behavior on Christ’s love for His children. Teaching them basic principles- spiritual and moral.
Happy Father’s Day
ReplyDeleteHi all,
ReplyDeleteWe did not enjoy "A Greek Recipe for Romance". I don't know...it did not draw me in. Lovely scenery but everything else was a 'Meh' for me. Greece, though, is someplace I have always wanted to visit. :-)
Thanks Joan, I will take your word for it! I would love to go to Greece one day too! And Italy!
DeleteFiona is back in Hope Valley in WCTH Season 11 Episode 12
ReplyDeleteThe acting In A Greek recipe for love was terrible. The only thing that saved this movie was the scenery. I have read a comment that there are going to be three more movies filmed in Greece let’s hope they get better actors
ReplyDeleteOkay I was finally able to watch the Tipline Mystery movie. I love Chris McNally in everything he does, he was great, the girl was a little erratic in her mannerisms and speaking….i don’t know if that’s just her personality as an actor, but it was kind of distracting at times. I thought the storyline was good, but I found the killer a little predictable at the end. I thought it was going to be the handyman of her hotel, or maybe that couple who had just opened the jewelry store. The husband seemed a little suspicious…either way I thought it was cute & family friendly from what I remember. Wish there was a new mystery every month, they are my fave!

Hi all,
ReplyDeleteSadly we also did not enjoy "Match for a Prince" either. The lead actress was really good but nothing else drew us in.
Another great WCTH episode! The proposal scene was terrific! They make a sweet couple. And the suspense scene was great. Rosemary was perfect and Nathan and Elizabeth's stunt scene...just great!! And we found out Fiona is coming back for the last episode! YAY!!! This gives me hope for maybe Carson or Jesse and Clara. Or Abigail.
