Just Cheryl and loving it
I was watching a rerun of an episode of the television series Leave it to Beaver a few weeks back and something one character said has stuck with me. Wally Cleaver (Tony Dow) had been trying to be friendly to a new kid in town. This teen wore dressy clothing and an oversized trench coat. He held hsi head slightly down and Wally told his dad that this boy was the one everybody wanted to stick out their foot and trip.

Croton Bush Plant Can Help You Sleep and more
Croton bush plants: An amazing sight to behold If you desire cleaner air in your home, a good night's sleep and something bright and beautiful to look at you might want to invest in a Croton bush house plant. Many house plants are said to be beneficial in cleansing indoor air and the Croton is one of them. The first time I paid attention to a Croton I was amazed at the rainbow of colors in the bright foliage. I was walking towards a local Kroger store and there were eight or ten of the plants in pots sitting in the front of the doors. They were $19.99 each and I considered purchasing one or two at some point.

Days of Our Lives: Celebrating 56 years of the NBC daytime drama
Days of Our Lives: Still going strong NBC's Days of Our Lives has the distinction of being the fourth longest running soap opera in the United States. I am proud to say that 5 generations of my family have enjoyed this daytime drama since the early 1970s. Sadly my grandaughter is a product of the Internet and video games and I do not see her coming along for the ride. My great-grandma, grandmother, mother, myself, and my daughter all have loved the various Salem residents over the decades.

The Young and the Restless: Thanksgiving week will be boring
The Young and the Restless update: Fans will endure a boring week If fans of The Young and the Restless are looking for breaking news and hot spoilers they will not find them during the week of Thanksgiving 2021. The CBS soap will have a repeat of Victoria Newman's (Amelia Heinle) and Ashland Locke's (Richard Burgi) wedding in Tuscany which is something fans do not want to see. A majority of viewers were done with the nuptials before they even took place, This is because of how long and drawn out this storyline was and how it eclipsed other plots that viewers were more invested in.

The Young and the Restless: The rumors are false The Internet rumor is going strong that Melissa Ordway is leaving The Young and the Restless but the above photo should put that to rest. The actress who portrays Abby Newman on the CBS soap took a selfie with Conner Floyd who will now portray her onscreen husband Chance Chancellor. Fake news has been circulating that while Abby is searching for her husband she will go missing and her portrayer will leave Y&R.
