Everyone needs to go out and get the movie Cutting Edge. Rent it, borrow it, purchase it, whatever. But lay your hands on it and watch it. It’s not a Christian movie. And it’s sorta old. And, it may or may not have the values you look for in a movie…BUT, for the next few weeks we’re going to talk about my FAVORITE topic…romance! Or rather, the romantic thread in a book! And, well, the fact is, the Cutting Edge is a wonderful romance. I just love the external obstacles and the tension….and I’m going to be referring to the movie a-LOT.

My hubby and I love to travel. We’ve gone everywhere – well, not South America, but Europe and Asia and Alaska….and we’ve discovered that we travel in different ways. I like a map. And a destination.
