First Blog!

I am very excited! I've started a blog called "On Golden Pond" and this is my first post. I chose this name because I live on Locke Lake in Center Barnstead, NH...my very own "golden pond". This is sort of a dream come true for me because I remember the first time I saw the movie "On Golden Pond" and the location where it was filmed seemed like such a beautiful and magical place...a place in which I would love to live. Who would have thought that a girl who grew up in Los Angeles would actually end up living in the location of her favorite movie...in New Hampshire of all places!

Everything about this movie was fantastic to me, starting with the music by Dave Grusin, who has since become one of my favorite composers. This score is truly one of the most beautiful scores in the history of film music. Sometimes I wish moments of my life could have this soundtrack played in the background...it would make all of those moments even more beautiful!

Anyway, I'm sure it will take me awhile to get into the groove of blogging...to "find my voice", if you will. That is one of the reasons I decided to start a blog. I used to consider myself a fairly decent writer...I used to write all the time, but everything going on in my life seems to have taken me away from that. I am hoping to reunite with my voice...I really want to find it again and at the same time, I can fill in those who are interested with what is going on with my family and life in the slow lane known also known as Center Barnstead, NH.
