It doesn't seem possible, but today marks the 15th anniversary of Laura's Miscellaneous Musings.

This year more than ever, I'm grateful for being able to share my love of classic films here and connect with so many wonderful people.

Been reading your Blogspot for about eight years. Glad there are people keeping our great movie heritage alive still. Got a few recommendations you might like:

Skin Game (1971) starring James Garner and Louis Gossett Jr.

Straight Story (1999) starring Richard Farnsworth

The Black Stallion (1979) starring Mickey Rooney

Mission to Mars (2000) starring Tim Robbins, Gary Sinise and Don Cheadle.

Thank you more than ever, dear Laura, for the respite of your wonderful blog. Now that Downtown Disney is gradually reopening perhaps we can have that long awaited lunch together in the foreseeable future! All the best, Jane

Jacqueline, thank you so much! That means all the more as I so admire your own writing on classic films.

Jeff, thank you for reading and your kind words along with the recommendations. I enjoyed THE BLACK STALLION years ago but the other titles are new to me. Thank you!

Jerry, like you, I so appreciate your friendship. I'm so glad we connected thanks to this blog! I also am so grateful for how you and our other Westerns-loving pals have broadened my knowledge of and appreciation for that genre!!

Vienna, I so appreciate your faithful readership. (Loved the recent tributes at your blog to William Wellman and Janis Paige!) Thank you so much.

Caftan Woman, thank you for visiting so often. I'm always so delighted to hear from you -- I appreciate your upbeat takes and how our tastes in film so often coincide! :)

Jane, I'm grateful that this blog also led us to connect! I've had some very special experiences thanks to you. :) I really hope we will be able to meet for lunch sooner rather than later. (My wonderful husband ventured to Downtown Disney for an hour or so last week to buy me some birthday gifts at World of Disney!)

Thank you, Barrylane! Your longtime readership, insights, and personal kindnesses are greatly appreciated.

Thanks to each of you so much for helping make this a very special day!

Best wishes,
Laura

CONGRATULATIONS! It looks like I've only been following the blog for about ⅓ of its existence, having found you from your articles on ClassicFlix. Your reviews continue to be a great source for new discoveries, and I always appreciate your "Around the Blogosphere" post for interesting tidbits I'd otherwise miss. And like Jane, I too hope for another meet-up with you (and Doug) at Disneyland soon....

It's been so nice to hear from so many wonderful people!!

Seth, thank you very much for the congrats -- I'm not sure I realized you found me through ClassicFlix, that's wonderful!! I'm so glad you continue to find "fun stuff" here. We'll be looking forward to meeting up with you at the park ASAP! And hopefully TCMFF too!

Mel, thank you so much. You have been such a wonderful friend to this blog and to me personally. I am most grateful we connected here.

Walter, thank you so much for your faithful readership and all the great insights and info you regularly share with me and my readers. I'm so glad to call you a friend!

John, thank you so much, not only for those lovely words but your many kindnesses over the years. You're yet another very special person I have gotten to know thanks to blogging.

I'm so glad I sat down and started this up 15 years ago!!

Best wishes,
Laura
