Remembering Federico Garcia Lorca
Today is the anniversary of the Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca. I have linked his name to a great site called Poemhunter.com where you can ready some of his work. Do yourself a favor and read some of his poems.

Five things I am loving this week:
1. The Legend of Pancho Barnes and the Happy Bottom Riding Club. (DVD)
It's a great and inspiring documentary of Florence "Pancho" Barnes one of greatest American pilots ever. It's available for instant streaming on Netflix or you can purchase the DVD. I think this is a must see for everyone but especially for women. Pancho was a strong, independent woman who lived life on her own terms.
If you want to read more about her check out the book The Happy Bottom Riding Club: The Life and Times of Pancho Barnes
2. Black Berry Smoke
Love their sound. They definitely have their roots in southern rock but they are so much more. Check out "Good One."
3. SeaSnax Roasted Seaweed Snack
Their slogan is "strangely addictive" and it is. I love this stuff. If you live in Athens, GA then you can pick some up at the Daily Co-op. SeaSnax has several flavors but I highly recommend the wasabi flavor.
4. Ocean Spray Cran-Grape Sugar Free
They have single drink mix packets. What a great find! I love, love the Cran-Grape but I need and want the convenience of the single drink packets. Now, I have a quick drink that will help me kick the soda habit. And it tastes great too.
5. And finally number five. The first show on ABC that I have watched in years.
GCB or Good Christian Bitches or Good Christian Belles depending on where you live.
This is a hilarious show starring Kristin Chenoweth. The show may be set in Dallas, Texas but it reminds me of a lot of people that I grew up in Georgia. Check out the show before the "moral majority" and fake "Christians" succeed in getting it off the air.
