Saw all the Hop-a-Long Cassidy, Lone Ranger,Randoff Scott. I remember going to Sat. morning movies like these long before there wer TV's. My kids came along and Roy and Dale were on a talk show one night and I was trying to settled the kids down. I told them to sit down and watch them. They sat for a minute and then my oldest turned and said, "Who are Roy Rodgers and Dale Evans?" They missed out of so much. I love the Missy Lahaye westerns and saw all of them. ybutler@oppcatv.comgrannyvonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14385921587249764862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-78789212229123148302010-12-11T08:41:44.347-07:002010-12-11T08:41:44.347-07:00I love the Loves Finds You books.

And I definitely loved that story she shared with us, as well!<br /><br />I just love your comments, my friend. :) You always encourage others and leave such thoughtful responses! <br /><br />And ah, yes...Virginia City, Nevada. I think that should ring a bell for you. ;) Now you have another little glimpse into why I love that town so much! I am definitely enthusiastic about Virginia City and its history! :D<br /><br />You have 3 entries in this drawing. :)<br /><br />BARB: I'm glad you enjoyed the interview! :D And sounds like you're a big fan of Westerns.

Your brother must be a man/boy of impeccable taste. ;)<br /><br />And you and I will have to watch Silverado after all these great comments! :D<br /><br />MARGARET (MJ): Hahaha, I know what you mean about that big TBR pile! ;) I hope you get to read and enjoy this books soon! <br /><br />ELIZABETH: I've only watched a couple of episodes of Gunsmoke, but I think I would like it. I'm still partial to Bonanza, but I think maybe I should give some more Westerns a chance... ;) Of course, Bonanza will always be my favorite, though!<br /><br />That sounds like an interesting channel, and yay for mysteries! Do you watch the PBS Masterpiece mysteries? If not, you have to watch their new Sherlock series!!! It's not available to watch online anymore, I don't think, but it was on the top of my Christmas wishlist this year--LOVED it! :D<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-344397310450122062010-12-09T03:27:08.978-07:002010-12-09T03:27:08.978-07:00CASEY: I'm glad you enjoyed the interview and ...CASEY: I'm glad you enjoyed the interview and Elizabeth's sweet story. :) You're so sweet to stop by even though you already have the book!<br /><br />It's too bad you didn't get to visit Calico, but maybe another time. :) Perhaps you could stop by my hometown in northern California on your way, when I'm home of course... ;)<br /><br />CHARITY: That's sweet! :D I love how these blog giveaways can work for Christmas "shopping," as well, as Renee Ann suggested on her blog a little while ago. :)<br /><br />I don't think I've seen any Roy Rogers, but I like the Coca-Cola and cherry-flavored drink called Roy Rogers! ;) And I think "Little House on the Prairie" has to count!<br /><br />You have 3 entries in this drawing. :)<br /><br />JEN: A fellow California girl! :D Fun!<br /><br />And speaking of fun--that's so neat that you'll be taking your family back to visit California. :) And you'll get to see Calico!

We're so happy you are a guest at this party! :D <br /><br />Second, your husband sounds so, so sweet! Thank you for sharing your love story with us. :)<br /><br />Third, I love the way you describe that scene from Silverado! Another Western I'll have to add to my list! Sounds super funny--kind of like some scenes from Bonanza. ;) <br /><br />Merry Christmas to you, as well!<br /><br />ANONYMOUS: Thank you!

So ...Wow! I am so, so late to the party--sorry! :(<br /><br />So happy to see you all here, though! :D<br /><br />LADY DRAGON KEEPER: I love Elizabeth's responses, as well! And I agree that "Calico, California" is a great name for a Western setting--and it's a real place! How cool is that? ;)<br /><br />And sure, Little House on the Prairie counts. :) You have 3 entries in this day's drawing!<br /><br />JOY: I've ridden that stagecoach several times, and I LOVE it! It's quite bone-jarring, but such a fun, wonderful experience. ;) <br /><br />And oh! There's plenty of romance on Bonanza! Of course, it's a different romance every episode, because the boys never actually settle down and marry anyone. My family and I made the observation that the female love interest always has to go back East or dies by the end of the episode... But still! ;) There are some really sweet episodes, some really funny ones, and some really thought-provoking ones. However, it was such a long series that not all of them can be top-class, I suppose. ;) <br /><br />Anyway, you have 3 entries in this day's drawing!<br /><br />HANNAH: Awww, thank you! :) <br /><br />And you Eastern people--sheesh! We're rough and tough out here in the West, and we like it that way! ;) Just kidding!<br /><br />We definitely had a lot of fun riding that stagecoach, and I'm hopeful that I'll get to ride it again! <br /><br />I'm so glad you're enjoying the party, and I hope you get a chance to read an LFY books soon, too! You have 3 entries in this drawing. :)<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-3292232991259434962010-12-08T22:30:40.572-07:002010-12-08T22:30:40.572-07:00Enjoyed the interview with Elizabeth.

Then on tv there was Gunsmoke, Maverick, The one with Barbara Stanwyck (can't remember name) all the way down to Bonanza. The one with the wagons traveling West...oh these senior moments can get embarrassing! Thank you for this great interview about Elizabeth's Western themed story; and for the chance to win it. I hope I do.<br /><br />Blessings of Joy,<br />Barb Shelton<br />barbjan10 at tx dot rr dot comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14882288703593261021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-45867738382296131142010-12-08T22:20:43.829-07:002010-12-08T22:20:43.829-07:00Oh, I just loved this interview!

Love it!! <br /><br />Actually, I listen to a lot of the old westerns on the Radio Classics channel, like Have Gun, Will Travel, Hop-Along Cassidy, The Rifleman, etc. (XM 164 if you're interested). <br /><br />They also do a lot of old mysteries. Did y'all know they are releasing a remake of The Green Hornet? I laughed out loud when I saw that, because I listen to it regularly on XM.Elizabeth Ludwighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00056509500051387657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-21475563911071524362010-12-08T12:26:14.615-07:002010-12-08T12:26:14.615-07:00*not an entry*
