"Hidalgo" is a story based on the life of Frank Hopkins and his horse, Hidalgo. Likewise, it is an accurate representation of the extraordinary bond establishd between actor Viggo Mortensen, who portrayed Hopkins, and his new sorrel overo Paint Horse stallion, TJ, who played Hidalgo.
'His ability, his intelligence were just so much in keeping with the story,' Mortensen said. 'He would just learn things so fast. I don't know what it is. His intense concentration and his ability to just relax were incredible'.
Mortensen related two scenes in particular, where TJ's talents proved to be excptional. In one part of the story, Mortensen is seen running from a swarming mass of locusts that blacken the sky. He lies down with Hidalgo and throws a blanket over the top of both of them as a shield from the infestation.
'To get a horse to lie down like that 30 times in a row is not easy. To get him to hit the same spot over and over again, then to throw a blanket over him and blind him that way, well, most horses, especially stallions, are not going to put up with that. But TJ did.'
In [another] scene, Hidalgo is supposed to pick up the hat with his mouth and bring it over to Hopkins. 'It's as if he's supposed to be saying, "Let's get out of here,'' Mortensen said.
A Paint named RJ Masterbug was trained to perform the task. He actually learned to pick up the hat, shake it and hand it to Mortensen. During the shoot, howevr, the directors wanted a close-up of the horse. Since TJ was the horse used for tight shots, it looked like another long round of training exercises for head wrangler Rex Peterson.
'TJ had been standing there the whole time, quietly, just watching Rex work with RJ. So, when they wanted this close-up, I said, "Well, let's just try it,' and we brought TJ in. The first time, TJ picks up the hat, gently holds it, and looks me right in the eye. Every take! That was amazing.'
Mortensen said he enjoyed riding all five American Paint Horses in the film. 'I rode as much as I could, and I rode all of them.' Each of the horses, he said, displayed special talents.
TJ now lives in Viggo Mortensen's ranch in Idaho with the horses he purchased from the sets of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

"This guy named John has been coming into my work for years. When I mentioned that my girlfriend and I are heading to Vietnam next week, he shared something remarkable. John told me he was there during the fall of Saigon, serving as a Marine. He was part of the mission that helped orphan babies get on evacuation planes and helicopters.
I paused for a moment and then told him, 'I was one of those babies.' His eyes welled up as he looked at me, and he softly said that he might have held me in his arms during that rescue mission, part of Operation Babylift.
We talked for a while, and I thanked him from the bottom of my heart for his service and the kindness he showed all those years ago. Before we parted, he told me he’ll sleep better tonight, knowing that one of those small, innocent babies grew up to have a better life in America.
John, you are truly an amazing man. Thank you again for your service! I’m no longer an orphan." ❤️ ❤️❤️

"The week ahead is a big one, but instead of me talking about it, I decided to post a picture of these bananas. Here's why:
A few days ago, we were headed to our daughter's last cross-country meet. She likes to eat a banana before she runs, but forgot her banana back at her school. She asked if we could stop at the store to get one.
My husband, Scott, went to the store, ran in, and picked up a couple of bananas. He took them to the cashier, who said he owed the store exactly 53 cents.
Scott opened his wallet, but he had only a credit card and a large bill the cashier didn't want to break. Scott said he would run out to the car to get some change from me, but the cashier said, 'Nope. It's okay. I've got this.'
Then she reached into her pocket and pulled out exactly 53 cents in change.
And Scott walked out with the paid-for bananas.
Here's why this story is important this week. There are kind and compassionate people everywhere. Even if they don't vote like you. Worship like you. Live like you. Behave like you.
I know 53 cents doesn't seem like that big of a deal. But she could have just rolled her eyes at my husband, clenched her jaw, and demanded he get the change.
But she didn't. She reached into her own pocket.
Maybe you think I'm a simple-minded person, or overly optimistic, but I think when it comes down to it, being good to one another is what's going to keep us all moving forward in times like these.
Every act of kindness, every smile, every kind word. There is no act too small as we share this place called Planet Earth.
There's a good chance people in our neighborhoods, our churches, our workplaces, and even our own families won't vote exactly like we do. We have a choice on how we move forward this week -- with kindness or with hatred.
I will choose kindness."

"Tonight we went to Texas Roadhouse in Turkey Creek for dinner.
When we sat down to eat this was on our table with an expo marker.
Y’all, my heart exploded.
I have never seen anything like this at any restaurant I have eaten at.
Hats off to Texas Roadhouse because she was one of the best servers we have ever had; I loved that it allowed me to teach my kids about a deaf person and how they communicate.
They were so intrigued.
I also realized that I know very little signs and most of the ones I know are potty, juice, all done, drink and more.
I clearly work in a PreK room with potty trainers…..and I wouldn’t trade a single moment."

Most vehicles have a recirculation button as part of their AC controls, but many of us aren’t sure when to use it. The simple rule of thumb is to use it in the summer and turn it off in the winter.
The recirculation button works by taking the air inside your car and recirculating it within the cabin, rather than pulling in fresh air from outside. On extremely hot days, if you don't use the recirculation feature, your AC system has to cool the hot air from outside, which can be less efficient. By recirculating the cooler air inside the car, you can cool your vehicle more quickly and reduce the strain on your AC system.
Side note: If your car has been sitting in the sun, it’s better to roll the windows down and turn off recirculation for the first minute or so. This allows the superheated air inside to escape before you turn the recirculation on.
Additionally, anytime you’re stuck in traffic—whether it’s summer or winter—be sure to use the recirculation feature. If you’re pulling air from outside, you’re also pulling in pollutants and carbon monoxide from the traffic around you. Studies show that using the recirculation feature can reduce the amount of pollutants entering your vehicle by 20% when you’re stuck in traffic.

"I am a white woman and although I did not give birth to this man, he is my son. He has been my son for 14 years. I love him like I birthed him.

My biological children grew up with him as their brother. He lived in my house. I would trust him with my life and he would trust me with his.

I have watched him been treated unfairly... because of the color of his skin. I have seen him be falsely accused... because of the color of his skin.

I will stand for him. I will fight for him. I will protect him to the best of my ability, and if I'm honest... I would want to hurt anyone who tried to hurt him.

I will never know what it is like to have brown or black skin but I do know what it is like to be a white woman who loves someone fiercely who has brown or black skin. And I know what it is like to pray every day that it will not be his last."

"I’ve been hesitant to write this post. First, because of the inevitable online mom-shaming that is bound to ensue; and second, because it’s just really hard to re-live.
On Sunday our washing machine broke down. On Monday my husband went to Lowe’s and purchased this new front load washing machine. We thought it was the “new and cool” type of washing machine and didn’t think anything of it. We spent that evening installing it with the kids underfoot. We told them several times that they were not to touch it. They all replied “OK.”
Early Tuesday morning we were woken up by our four-year-old son who was crying so hard he could barely talk. As I was trying to understand what he was saying, my husband flew out of bed and down the stairs. It was then that the realization hit. He had said: Kloe. Inside. Washer.
By the time we reached the laundry room in the basement, my three-year-old daughter Kloe was LOCKED inside the airtight washing machine. It was tumbling and filling with water. She was screaming but you couldn’t hear her.
We were able to quickly stop it and unlock the door and get her out. Aside from a couple of small bumps on her head and wet clothes, she was fine.
After going through all the “what if‘s” and “could have’s” we know we are very blessed and God had mercy on our sweet daughter.
I post this because I can honestly say we did not realize the danger of this machine. We are continually surprised at the new, inventive ways our kids come up with to try and die. And this was definitely a new one.
I took this picture after we secured the door shut with a child safety lock. We also found a child lock feature on the settings that, as long as it is engaged, will not allow the washing machine to start. But it does not lock the door. We hadn’t even used the machine yet so we hadn’t looked at any of the settings. Also, it obviously took two curious kids to pull this off. I want to encourage anybody who has this type of front loading washing machine and small children, or even grandkids who visit, to lock the door with a child safety lock and always keep the child lock setting on!
I realize that there are ways we could’ve prevented this from happening. This is the season for swimming pool accidents and kids being left in hot cars and all sorts of other horrible accidents. And that’s what most of them are. Accidents. Shaming the mom doesn’t do anyone any good. We need to be open and honest about our mistakes to help one another keep our kids safe. And trust me, that mom is already beating herself up enough."

My beautiful crazy crochet chair. I saw a photo of something similar and decided I had to make one. I bought an old chair and my husband recovered it from wool fabric. Before purchasing the chair, I crocheted most of the chair's parts. I had so much fun making them.

The whole world paused this morning.
Do you know why? Because an 8 year old’s tank was empty.
The boys had already started their school day at their desks and I was preparing to leave for work when I noticed my littlest standing in the bathroom wiping his face.
I paused at the door and asked if he was okay. He looked up with tears silently dripping and shook his head. When I questioned if something happened, again he shook his head.
So I sat on the side of the tub and pulled him in my lap. I told him sometimes our heart tanks feel empty and need to be refilled.
He cried into my chest and I held tight.
I asked if he could feel my love filling him up?
A nod, and tears stopped...
I waited a minute...
‘Has it reached your toes yet?’
He shook his head no...
‘Okay man. We will take as long as you need. Work doesn’t matter right now. School isn’t important either. This right here, is the most important thing today, okay? Filling you back to the top. Is that good?’
*nods*
One more minute...
‘Is your heart full of mamas love now?’
‘Yeah...’
*looks in his eyes* I see it shining in there, you’re full to the top, and you’re smiling!
Y’all. You may not be 8- you may be 28, 38, 48 or whatever- but ALL of us run on empty just like he did. His weekend was so busy and so full and his little soul was just dry!!!
We all have to pause, and take a moment to refill with the good things. Scripture, prayer, sunshine, worship, song, laughter, friends, hugs. Refill your empty, or you’ll find those emotions (tears, anger, snappy words) overflowing with no reason why.
Take a moment. Refill. It’s the most important part of your day!

Supertanker Seawise Giant was twice as long as Titanic. Actually, it was so huge it couldn’t navigate neither the English Channel, Suez Canal, or Panama Canal.
Although fascinating, the story of Seawise Giant is far less known than the story of Titanic.
With a length of 458 meters (1,504 feet) Seawise Giant was the longest self-propelled ship ever built.
Seawise Giant also possessed the largest deadweight tonnage of 564,763 tons.
It could carry 4.1. million barrels of crude oil at a relatively high speed of 16.5 knots (30.6 km/h; 19.0 mph).
Two Mitsubishi steam turbines provided a stunning 50,000 horsepowers.
When at full speed, Seawise Giant needed 9 kilometers (5.5 miles) to stop.
The rudder weighed 230 tons, the propeller weighed 50 tons, and the anchor weighed 36 tons.
Supertanker’s initial purpose was to transport crude oil between the United States and the Middle East.
Surprisingly, it required only 40 men crew.

Yesterday my daughter Grace was packing up to head back to her home after spending Christmas with me and she looked into my bedroom and said, “Do you do that everyday?” I replied, “Do what everyday?” She said, “Make your bed and put all those pillows on there?” I said, “Yes I do.”
“Why, she responded, you are the only one who see’s your bed?”
“Oh dear I make my bed every morning because it’s a gift that I get to open at the end of everyday. A gift that not everyone has. So while I’m wrapping my bed in the morning and I’m unwrapping it at night I’m reminded of what a great blessing my bed really is in my life.”
When we stop viewing what we have as little, insignificant or not enough, then we get to see what we do have as gifts we get to enjoy, great blessings in our lives and provision for our needs.
I’m thankful for my bed 😘❤️
Nice thought , good way to enjoy life!❤️

In 1933, Vernon Presley and Gladys Love Smith eloped and were married in Pontotoc County, Mississippi. Both parties lied about their ages on their marriage license. Vernon, 17, claimed he was 22 since he was not yet of legal age. Gladys, 21, followed suit and listed her age as 19. The young couple welcomed twin sons, Jesse and Elvis, on January 8, 1935. Sadly, Jesse was delivered stillborn. Elvis, of course, would go on to become one of the best-selling music artists of all time.

A camel can drink salt water, even from the Dead Sea. Its blood pressure does not rise because its kidneys filter the water to make it drink fresh, separating the water from the salt.
Camels can eat thorns and their stomachs and intestines are not harmed because their saliva is like acid, which dissolves the thorns and eats them as if they were bread and dough. Therefore, the people of the desert, if thorns fall on their hands or feet, put camel saliva on them and it dissolves the thorns.
Camels have two eyelids, one of which is transparent and the other is made of flesh, so it can walk in desert dust and its eyes are not harmed because it only closes its transparent eyelid.
A camel can change its temperature, raising its temperature if it is in snowy terrain and lowering its temperature in extremely hot desert terrain.

So here it is!!! My very very first Christmas tree at the age of 51. I was homeless 15 years on the streets of Fresno. Never have I considered getting a tree because I have no children but I finally decided to get one. It may not be a big fancy one but it's mine and I love it just the way it is. And I happened to snap this photo with my very first dog sitting right underneath it. This is Dexter a rescue dog. He's been with me about a month. I am grateful for every chance I get to share the goodness of God and what he is capable of doing in one's life in the Name of Jesus

I grew up dirt poor and we had limited means in which to fill our table, and cupboards.
Pinto beans with saltine crackers or left over biscuits . . . sometimes it was macaroni salad and ONLY macaroni salad because it had a lot in it, and would last for days . . . I remember dad taking me to the company store in Maben, WV where he'd get bologna (pronounced baloney for you non- hillbilly people lol) that had to last a while.
My wife and I both work and we can go out to eat on a regular basis, but you know what? A baloney sandwich on white bread, with mayo tastes better than a New York strip at some suit and tie joint 😋
Food isn't about the "fancy," food is about that wonderful feeling you get, and the memories it brings to your heart ♥️

Idk who’s child this is but I saw this young man riding with a fishing pole in his backpack so I got in front of him and as he approached I asked him if he fished, and his first words were yes sir! I said what you be fishing for he said I’m into bass fishing. I said do you know how to use a bait caster? He said yes sir ! I reached in my center console and gave him a Lews reel that reel probably ran me $80 bucks and I only used a handful of times. You should have seen his face , he said man this a nice one too. Because of his excitement I told him wait right there I’ll be right back so I shot to the house and got my lews Mach 2 reel and rod. When I returned he had put the reel that gave him and his tackle to his house. I jumped out the truck and said I got something else for you. I handed him the rod and reel (pictured below) he called out the name of the combo and everything even told me it was expensive. He was so excited, he said thank you so much sir. He said fishing brings me joy and inner peace . It keeps me out of trouble. I told him that’s exactly why I went home and got it for you. Keep fishing kid 🙏🏾💙

Bison are the only animal that turn into a snowstorm rather than away from it because they instinctively know that walking into the storm will get them out of the weather quicker. There may be a life lesson for humans in this. It also makes for some epic pictures.
