Things to see, Places to go...!

If you are a horse-lover and are ever in the kentucky area try stopping at The Kentucky Horse Park.










They have seasonal horse shows, and a breed show.(Although we were alittle dissapointed, because they claimed to have a show including 50 breeds, but there were only about 6 or 7 total when we were there!)
It was neat, but dissapointing...



They also have an all horse museum which takes you through many centuries of horses in various cultures, there various breeds and uses, and their impact on human life.

Although it was a neat place I would recommend going there for the International Horse Games 2010 or after that has passed, because The Kentucky Horse Park was (and I imagine still is) under construction while we were there-which made it alittle harder to enjoy the grounds and to find things while walking around.
So, at a good time, it would be a interesting place to visit.*

Lights, Camera, Action! -Bleak House

Fellow Bloggers and readers, here's a new post....way overdue!!


Those of you who already know me know that I am crazy for old-fashioned things and am a huge reading fanatic. Here are a couple book/movie reviews for some amazing works that are some of my old favorites and new !





Bleak House
(the BBC movie)
Written By: Charles Dickens



This is a thrilling story with a plot that is always keeping you guessing. While watching this recently with my mother and sis, we had to stop ourselves many times before we'd watch all through the night!

Dickens very cleverly brought his characters to life in this story, there were so many people -all with an important role in the plot. It twists and turns from one scene to the next, leaving much suspense and intriguing puzzles to ponder.

I highly recommend this film to all Dickens, Jane Austen, BBC, and suspense fans!

In the story it shows the differences in the lower and higher classes in England at the time and how the people were effected by simple misunderstandings and deep kept secrets in their lives. All of the characters are unique in their own way-being very intricately made-up, some of them being: Mr. Guppy, Mr. Smallweed, Lady Deadlock, Ester Summerson, and many, many more!

I highly recommend this film to all Dickens, Jane Austen, BBC, and suspense or mystery fans!

I would tell you more, but I'd be afraid I'd give something away so just trust me and watch it! You'll love it!

(*And although I did watch the movie before actually reading the book, you may want to because it will help with the complex plot.*Either way it's awesome!!*)
