Things Keep Changing

celticeagle @celticeagle (187035) • Boise, Idaho 24 Mar

Let's Venture Back Into Victorian Times Once Again

celticeagle @celticeagle (187035) • Boise, Idaho 22 Mar

I find the Victorian Era (1837 - 1901) a fascinating time in history. It was a time of change, innovation, and heavy on the strange social values and rules. There were some strange fetishes and odd fancies. The idle rich became...

Idioms With Cats and Apples as the Subject Matter

celticeagle @celticeagle (187035) • Boise, Idaho 22 Mar

"The Madison"

celticeagle @celticeagle (187035) • Boise, Idaho 21 Mar

A new series on Paramount +. Odd pairing with Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell. They still look good for being 67 and 75. The cinematography is breath taking( Madison River in southwestern Montana). Also fly fishing lessons and...

Gary Cooper and Gone With The Wind

celticeagle @celticeagle (187035) • Boise, Idaho 17 Mar
