Seasons

Just as amazing as it is to sit and create beautiful things with one continuous piece of fibers that looks as is just like one long string of nothing, is the seasons and how they affect our emotions, and our lifestyles.

Sunshine surely is vital to a person's well being, yet at the same time light and the effect of the light from sunshine sure makes things come alive and creates a mixture of sound around us. Sunshine makes up pop into the light whereas before we just laid beneath it all, suddenly we are up and in tune with our surroundings. Do I like the change? Well.....being locked inside a cave like interior has its benefits as well. Distractions from the chaos sunshine brings is not always a welcome thing, yet it still has its positives as well. Fortunately neither darkness or light around here remains for long as in Indiana we have 4 very authentic and distinct seasons to either become an annoyance or to enjoy. I think as human beings, we all experience the annoyances and we all experience what we can enjoy about every season of time.

I think to live somewhere that there were no changes like this were be worse than ever.

Through our dark winter months here, it is nice to suddenly pop out of it like a bear that has been hyphenating throughout a winter season, look around and be able to see our surroundings a little better too. Spring opens up this awareness.

Then if a hot summer sets in, for me anyway, I feel the miserable state of being overwhelmingly HOT. This does not last long either, so to endure that for a just a "season of time" then fall which is my favorite time of all our seasons here arrives, the beautiful colors of fall all around me, and sinking back into a calmer period of time arrives and well.....yes.....we start all over again.....Christmas season is my favorite of all as it seems all people or the majority of people in my area at least come to a dead stop halt and oh how nice it is not to hear all the chaos of noise once created by those outside this place racing up and down the street, and even sounds like things bumping into each other, things dropping suddenly and BOOM, and the trains racing up down their tracks as well.....

I am a mood of collecting my favorite "yesterday" sitcoms and movies, taking me back still yet into many other places and times of my past in which I was....Bewitched is nice.....but I don't laugh out loud as much at the old Bewitched sitcoms as I have the I Dream of Jeanie. I can't understand why the Bewitched episodes were more popular, somewhere I read this, maybe at the time, they were a little more family oriented and I Dream of Jeanie is more toward a single lifestyle. It did ruin the sitcom though when Jeanie married her master, honestly, they should have continued just as Jeanie and Master, anyway,......................

I am not moving toward some of my other favorite past life movies, Rockford Files, I liked too, so crocheting and watching fake people live fake lifestyles and popping out into the spring here....

I Dream of Jenie Sitcom

Interesting thing about watching these I Dream of Jenie episodes one right after another on the DVD's is that it really does read like chapters in a book, only in visual form. Very few I remember from my childhood days, but a few I do remember.

I am much more of a visual learner than reader. I would have already put the book of "I Dream of Jenie" to the side and stopped reading it, but seeing the chapters unfold from the first episode to nearing the end, I see that this series was actually a "book" about a man who found a bottle on a beach, opened it up and a beautiful woman came out with smoke who then was for the rest of her life subject to "pleasing" this man in any anything he could ever want.

From the beginning, he actually never wanted much of anything except what he could create with his own mind and two hands. He loves his career as an astronaut and has very little desire for marriage, but just likes his bachelor life as it is.

Jenie falls in love with him very soon and decides she is going to marry him. If she marries a mortal she will lose her Jenie powers.

In one episode with the help of a superior male genie she looks into the future to see that if she marries her mortal master her little girl will be a genie and her little boy with be a mortal. This is very similar to the Betwitched episodes which I am assuming also will be like reading a book from the beginning to the end only in "visual" content.

So funny how I never realized this fact until now. This is the day to the day life of Tony Nelson, the astronaut and the genie he found in a bottle on the beach and all the ridiculous funny things that can happen within this fantasy.

With life happening in between times for me as I watched some of these sitcoms growing up, I never knew what they were actually about until now that I am watching them one right after another. Once a week episodes did not stick with me. My memories of this sitcom was nothing like I am viewing now, so as a child, I must have not been much of a visual learner as I am now.

Too much else in my life going on though at the ages I saw these episodes. I am not a book reader at all, only something "how-to" do I read from step one to the last step and that is also only if I take the time to read every step.

Enjoying this "I Dream of Genie" Book. I wanted to read some books, but then again, I am not a book reader, so this is surely the next best thing for me anyway.

I am crocheting as I go along here,  handbags mostly at this time......I don't know how long I will have a mind to crochet. This is something that has never stuck with me, only come to me from time to time throughout my life, yet, I never had access to so many different patterns either without buying books and magazines, of which I hate to read. I can crochet from patterns, but I like best crocheting from the visual tutorials. And my favorite yarn so far is Red Heart. It has been the easiest to work with and they have huge range of color choices. No wonder it is America's favorite yarn.....I like it better than the Lion Brand or any other which is much more expensive.

Collecting Sitcom DVD's as I Crochet

Still, I am enjoying my leisure time here, yet, surely it is sure to end. I dread the end actually. Spring opening up has added to my routines here of mowing grass again, a chore I thought for sure at the age 60, I would not be able to do with the push mower. I got it done once for the season now, a challenge it was for certain.

Who knows what tomorrow's will bring. Tomorrows are not promised to any of us.

What happened?

I am not certain. Maybe I am a Jeanie as well.

I like the fantasy sitcoms of the 1960's and early 1970's after the family sitcoms ended, although I like those as well.

I am finding they are very entertaining and many of what I have I do not remember, so they are all sort of brand new, light-hearted comedies for me.

I Dream of Jeanie has been my first choice of this collection rampage, as I sit here crocheting handbags of many colors. I suppose I will change back to hats when the weather changes again.

I Dream of Jeanie first aired on television September 18, 1965. There were 139 episodes through 5 seasons. The sitcom ended May 26, 1970. The story line is of an American fantasy starring Barbara Eden as a 2,000 year old genie and Larry Hagman as an astronaut who released her from her bottle on failed mission somewhere on a lost island who then became her master. It was love at first sight for Genie. Marriage was her main goal throughout the entire series. She eventually marries Captain Tony Nelson (her master, Larry Hagman) on the series. There were new episodes through September 1970 with the season repeats on NBC.
