The Crock Pot and Death Valley

The Crock Pot and Death Valley is a departure from our usual fast fiction. It is a true story. Maybe not a big one in the scheme of what had happened back in 1969. But it had a big impact on our family. And it all came back to us when watching Quentin Tarantino’s recent move, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.*

We would also like to advise we have a ‘Sister’ podcast dealing with film. Please click on link BreandafromBrisbane.com. If you are interested in film, you just may find our new episode of interest.

RoseMary: All new parents think their newborn baby not only absolutely perfect, but the best in the world.

This story deals with the love of young parents for their new baby, and the dilemma they face. Fortunately, most of us have never faced this ordeal, but as a new entry in our MakesYouThink Series, we think it provides a discussion point for you and your friends and family, to see if you agree, or differ on the result.  Enjoy?
