See the trailer for THE MONUMENTS MEN now! See the film in a theater near you Friday February 7, 2014

Tomorrow is Friday! Where I live it's been a snowy Winter and this week has been icy too. The kids have had a few days off from school and by tomorrow we are going to have a high cabin fever. Tomorrow is also the opening day of the film THE MONUMENTS MEN in theaters around the United States. A bit down this post you can watch the trailer from the film. I am not a war film buff by any means but this film looks really interesting from the history of the war and the art that was stolen from so many places and people during war time.

THE MONUMENTS MEN is "based on a true story of the greatest treasure hunt in history." Seven historians went to the front line of World War II to find artistic masterpieces that were looted from museums, churches, and homes. These men are not enlisted in the war, but are museum curators, architects, artists, and historians who believe 1000 years of history can be lost if the art is not returned to it's owners.

The Monuments Men are looking for lost art from the time of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Art theft. Art works from famous Who's Who's artists. The salt mines in Austria housed thousands of stolen art.

Shot on location in Germany with a few weeks in England. Berlin, Babelberg, Potsdam, and Harz Mountains, which is the highest mountain range in Germany. Shot also in South and Southeastern United Kingdom.

There were other sub locations around the United States, Austria, Italy, Paris and other locations around the world. These settings were for museums, cathedrals, military bases, salt mines, country roads, offices, and living quarters.

Giveaway of New Soft Scrub® 4-in-1 Toliet Cleaner to three lucky winners.

Let's talk about cleaning toilets. Hmm, I'd rather not talk about that, or clean them. However, I don't want dirty toilets in our house, so I have to clean all three of them. I'd clean four or five because I really would like two downstairs bathrooms in my next house. We have one powder room on the first floor and two full baths upstairs.I'd like three full baths upstairs. Why in the world would I want to clean all that? Who knows, but having a product that can help out cleaning the three we currently have in my house is greatly appreciated. Soft Scrub ® is honestly amazing me with their new and improved products.

So, how's the dinner time prep going? The kids are back in school, and then after school is sports, band practice. Do you have the taxi light on top your car on? Sound familiar? I can relate.

Giveaway of Three Copies of Les Misérables on Blu Ray DVD combo Pack

You know that part of a DVD that prompts you to select play, scenes, bonus, set up while bits of the movie play? I did not get past that for several plays through the song "Do you hear the people sing" with people of France waving their flag, and singing about they will not be slaves again. The song is so moving, so powerful. It can stir up your the strength within your soul, it can remind you of the freedom of being an American, and it can bring you to tears of sadness, happiness, and joy. Now on to select play: I saw Les Misérables at the preview screening last year and was captivated, motionless in my seat. The DVD has the same effect. You'll be taken back to another place, another time. The cast is perfect, the singing is moving, and the scenery is real old world "Paris". As I watched Les Misérables it's a reminder to myself, a wake up call for us all to be humble, be better. To forgive each other, let go of our egos, help each other at times of need,
