Happy Birthday Sue - I Miss You So Much!

.Today would have been my best friend in the whole world's birthday, but she passed away in 2009 and I miss her more than words can say. She was always there for me when I needed her and vice-verse. She was the maid-of-honor in my wedding to Bill and I was the maid-of-honor in her wedding.



From my Wedding 1997

As a tribute to Sue, I'd like to rerun a post I wrote shortly after she died:

Happy 50th Anniversary to Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho"

Alfred Hitchcock is my favorite director because I adore suspense movies... NOT horror movies (that's Bill's forte) but the kind of movie that has you sitting on the edge of your seat and holding your breath.  Alfred Hitchcock was the MASTER.  Fifty years ago today, the movie Psycho was released in theaters.  It was something truly unique to its time because before that movie, people used to come
