Valentines Day Houston | Top Valentines Tips for a Romantic Night in Texas - http://youtu.be/nQS8MFwfMmc from http://enchantedfloristpasadena.tumblr.com/post/155219485447 Within many cultures it is customary to send or bring flowers to a funeral service after a friend or family member has lost a loved one. If financial resources are something you are concerned with there are many cheap funeral flowers. Custom floral arrangements can look beautiful but some designs can get expensive. In some smaller towns, it may be difficult to find a skilled florist. Showing Your Support with Funeral FlowersIndividual flowers crafted into a bouquet can be delivered to a funeral home, service or brought to a grave in order to offer your condolences. Even though you can purchase exotic flowers, it is likely that the gesture itself will be enough to show your support for your family and friends. Inexpensive funeral flowers do not mean that you are giving an inferior product in a time of great importance. Often it is the gesture and that create a lasting impact in the minds of those suffering from a loss. Your friends and family members will appreciate the fact that you are thinking of them. Whether you bring the flowers yourself, or have a professional florist hand deliver them, it is a heartfelt gift. Cheap Funeral Arrangement IdeasOne way to get the most value, and create cheap funeral flower arrangements is to choose flowers that are cheaper per stem. You can either use one or two flowers throughout the arrangement, or use many flowers. Designing a mixed flower arrangement can break up the monotony of a single type floral bouquet. Sometimes, getting creative with your funeral flower arrangement can be a beautiful way to show your respect. Some of the possible cheap funeral flowers that can be obtained for a low price are red carnations, which offer volume, color, and texture to the overall bouquet. Another cheap choice is daisies. Daisies come in many varieties and colors like yellow, white, purple, lavender and green. Cheap Funeral Standing SpraysCheap funeral flowers can come in different sizes and styles. The small standing sprays here at Enchanted Florist start between $80-100. The most popular one in this price range the the Gentle Thoughts spray. This spray is pictured in whites and pinks on our website, but can be made in many colors. It contains pink carnations with white cushions, plus it has three pink roses in it as well. Another option for inexpensive standing sprays is the Beautiful Farewell Pink Sympathy Spray. This funeral spray contains pink gerbera daisies, yellow roses, white cushions, yellow snapdragons, and pink larkspur. This is a lovely and thoughtful option when you are wanting funeral flowers for a woman.

You can teach an old dog new tricks. I’m not sure about teaching an old DOG a new trick but I certainly can learn to do things a new way. I’m almost embarrassed that I have never cooked cabbage this way. I’m sure everyone will be making (or made) some type of cabbage dish for New Years day. We always have pork belly (fried, or hog jowl), black eyed peas and some kind of cabbage. The green cabbage is for “money” in the new year and good luck. There are so many ways to eat cabbage, ie. in slaws/coleslaws, [...]

If you regularly go to electronic music shows, this event will certainly not disappoint. from http://www.freepresshouston.com/lets-forget-2016-where-to-party-on-new-years-eve/ This best of 2016 list mixes genre films and high concept motion pictures that I would gladly watch multiple times without effort. The titles are for the most part director driven films. Some played for months while others played for a week at select venues. With over three hundred films released in 2016, a top ten list barely skews one-third of ten percent of accountable movies. These are the films I would want on a deserted island, which is just ridiculous because have you ever heard of electricity on a deserted island? When I make an annual best films list be assured that there are those who think my best picks are among the worst of the year. That’s because one person’s ceiling is another person’s floor. That previous line was freely adapted from a Paul Simon song title. A little known factoid about Simon: He married Carrie Fisher on August 16, 1983. The following night, August 17, Simon & Garfunkel were set to play a concert at the Astrodome. A friend who worked on the stage crew told me that S&G did a sound check but then left as the concert was cancelled due to Hurricane Alicia. Paul took Carrie to a hurricane party for their honeymoon. I’ve divided the list into Top Films, Best Documentaries and Best Foreign Films, along with Honorable Mentions, as well as a brief look at superlative television shows. Top Films Everybody Wants Some!! (Paramount) La La Land (Lionsgate) Jackie (Fox Searchlight) Hell or High Water (CBS Films) Love and Friendship (Roadside Attractions) American Honey (A24) The Nice Guys (Warner Brothers) Arrival (Paramount) Blood Father (Lionsgate Premiere) The Autopsy of Jane Doe (IFC Midnight) Honorable Mention A list of honorable mentions would include solid productions like Manchester by the Sea, Fences, Pete’s Dragon, Christine, Moonlight, Deadpool, Hail, Caesar!, The Edge of Seventeen, Too Late, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Miss Sloane, Eye in the Sky, A Bigger Splash, Nocturnal Animals, Sing Street, Captain Fantastic, and High-Rise. Documentaries Tower – Fascinating look at the prototype mass shooting from the point-of-view of the victims. O.J.: Made in America – At nearly eight hours this doc got to the heart of celebrity, society and crime in one fell swoop. De Palma – Every great director should recount his career at the behest of their protégés. Into the Inferno – Werner Herzog takes viewers into the heart of volcanoes. Fire At Sea – Italian doc that quietly observes life on a refugee island. Fire at Sea also plays on January 13 and 15 at the MFAH. Zero Days – Alex Gibney explores the latest in cyber-warfare. Voyage of Time (IMAX) – Terrence Malick creates a meditation on space and time. The Lovers and the Despot – South Korean actress Choi Eun-hee and her husband director Shin Sang-ok are kidnapped by Kim Jong-il and forced to make films. 13th – Tough look at the United States prison systems through the eyes of racial imbalance, helmed by Ava DuVernay. I Am Not Your Negro – Eloquently told story of race relations in America as told by James Baldwin, narrated by Samuel Jackson. Weiner – Too much info is revealed in this behind-the-scenes look at fallen Congressman Anthony Weiner’s New York City mayoral campaign. The Bandit – Amazing look at the relationship between Burt Reynolds and stuntman turned director Hal Needham. Foreign Film The Handmaiden (South Korea) Age of Shadows (South Korea) Three (China) Elle (France) The Wave (Norway) Ramen Raghav 2.0 (India) Tunnel (South Korea) Mia Madre (Italy) Embrace of the Serpent (Columbia) In Order of Disappearance (Norway/Sweden) The Salesman (Iran) Les Cowboys (France) The Idol (Palestine) Animated Animated films run the gamut from adult fare with my first two selections, to some amazing stop motion filmmaking, and bottoms out with above average Disney fare. April and the Extraordinary World Sausage Party Kubo and the Two Strings Moana Zootopia Small Screen Between cable, broadcast and streaming services there are so many shows and limited series designed for television viewing that you could conceivably never have heard of many of the titles much less seen them. Black Mirror was my personal biggest treat, a Netflix series picked up from BBC for a third season. Black Mirror offers stand-alone episodes that stand firmly with one foot in social media and the other in the Twilight Zone. The Night Manager (A&E) provided John Le Carre spy intrigue with a great cast that includes Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie, Elizabeth Debicki, Olivia Colman, and Tom Hollander. Crisis in Six Episodes (Amazon) provided Woody Allen with his funniest platform since Midnight in Paris. Set in the late 1960s, Allen and Elaine May play the bickering Munsingers who harbor a radical felon (Miley Cyrus). Stranger Things, another winner from Netflix, proved that the past can be new and that old clichés can be polished. from http://www.freepresshouston.com/best-films-of-2016/ Red Roses for Valentines Day | Enchanted Florist - http://youtu.be/RJdmJrGHIuU from http://enchantedfloristpasadena.tumblr.com/post/155121511422 Tiny fingers and little toes. Squishy cheeks. Chunky thigh rolls. And, oh my goodness, that smell. A new baby just begs to be snuggled, kissed on, and maybe squeezed a little. But can we all agree that unless you’re a family member or close friend, you should just keep your hands to yourself?
