There was an old house sitting out in the country. It hasn't been lived in for quite some time. Some say it was owned by a woman that just couldn't let go of it. Over the years the doors fell off and the windows broke and they fell out. The yard became overgrown and turned brown along with the tree that stood out front even withered and died. The women owner still did not want to give up the house of where she grew up. If you look through the open windows and doors, you will see a family picture.

The Carol Burnett Show
I was just watching an old episode of a television variety show known as 'The Carol Burnett Show' on Yahoo.com. I remember watching this show as a young child with my parents and siblings. The episode that I was watching was when Tim Conway was on the show for the second time. He wasn't a regular part of the cast yet. Not sure of the exact date of this episode but I think it was the early 1970's for Carol was wearing a skirt that was crocheted and making jokes about it. From what I was able to watch Harvey Korman played Col. Flanders and Carol played a character that was interviewing him. 'The Carol Burnett Show' always made fun of various commercials of the time as well as even having song and dance times with her guest stars. These were the days of the prime-time variety shows as well as a few daytime shows that were like Carol's show like 'The Mike Douglas Show' or even 'The Merv Griffin Show' if I remember right for that show was on after I had to go to bed at 9PM for it was usually on a school night. Who thinks these kinds of shows would make it on television today for they were quite fun to watch especially Carol's show.

Pretty Lethal Review: An Unexpected Blend of Ballet and Extreme Violence
Pretty Lethal is a horror movie created by Amazon Prime Video, directed by Vicky Jewson and written by Kate Freund. The film follows a group of five American ballerinas: Bones (Maddie Ziegler), Princess (Lana Condor), Grace (Avantika), Chloe (Millicent Simmonds), and Zoe (Iris Apatow), who are on their way to a prestigious dance competition in Budapest. Their journey takes a dark turn when their bus breaks down in a remote area of Hungary, forcing them to seek refuge in a seemingly abandoned inn run by Devora Kasimer, performed by Uma Thurman, a former ballet star with a mysterious past.

I like the way the old house can also be a symbol of the old woman. Lovely little piece.
I feel for old neglected houses as if they are uncared for babies.
