A Sunday Drive Down Memory Lane…To Heat Things Up

Good morning, JaSammers! (I’m not sure there are many GHers left)

So my kids have been on summer vacation for a couple of weeks now, and the other day, my Vanessa says to me, “Wow, Mom. Summers just aren’t the same without Jason and Sam!” 

This is coming from an 11-year-old. 

Boy, is she right! NOTHING is the same without Jason and Sam!

The kind of romance they created really left a void now that we no longer have it…and I just know that Vanessa and I aren’t the only ones who feel that way.

So, here is A Sunday Drive to Heat Things Up for ya! No one can do it like JaSam!

A TOUCHING Sunday Drive Memory Lane

Good Sunday morning, GHers!

Thanks for all the comments and congrats regarding Matthew’s graduation and achievements! And congrats to all who shared similar wonderful experiences! I love sharing big moments in my life with you guys almost as much as I love hearing about yours! 🙂

You know, this week, I was thinking about how much I miss the old GH Formula…no matter how flawed it was at times, GH always managed to grab me and reel me in…touching my heart when all was said and done. Now…nothing really grabs me. Nothing seems to touch my heart. And nothing seems to keep me.

When we talk about Jason and Sam being The Beauty of GH, that was really their hook: the fact that they managed to reach out and grab us, and they always managed to touch our hearts because of the way they touched each other, both figuratively and literally. I really miss that most. 😦

So, this week, I went in search of vids that show us  that: Just how TOUCHING Jason and Sam’s Love Story always was. I hope it reminds you of the best GH had to offer. I hope it also reminds you that these two were worth every moment we invested; even in spite of the fact that we lost them just as we should have been  enjoying the biggest payout on our investment.

Jason and Sam’s Love Story touched me so deeply, that even knowing what I know now, I wouldn’t have given up the ride they took me on over the nine years they shared. That’s pretty extraordinary, don’t you think? In fact, I think it’s rather TOUCHING. 🙂

Let’s get going…

A TWISTED Sunday Drive Down Memory Lane

Good Sunday morning…though I suspect that by the time I hit “Publish”, it will be good Sunday Afternoon!

As many of you who follow me on Facebook know, it has been an incredibly happy and rewarding week for our family! Our son, Matthew, graduated eighth grade on Wednesday evening, and did so in a big way; earning both scholarships available for writing and math, as well as two Community Service awards. We are extremely proud, and feeling very thankful for the children we have. 🙂

Inasmuch as we had lots to celebrate this week, we had many to celebrate with over our house…until the wee hours of the morning.  Hence the late start today. 🙂

Today’s Drive is gonna take some TWISTS and turns, in honor of their ONCE IN A LIFETIME Love Story, and the fact that no matter what year it was, their Love was undeniably beautiful! I will be taking you all on some pretty sharp twists and turns – from brand new vids to classic vids showing just that. The TWISTED part is also in honor of The TWISTED Sisterhood!

I love them all! ❤

A Sunday Drive Down Memory Lane With Baby Danny On Board

Good Sunday Morning, GHers!

Last year on this very day, my family and I were in North Carolina, trying to get a feel for what might be our future home, and I was doing that while being  desperately frustrated over the fact that Sam had just given birth to Danny and I wouldn’t be catching up until we we back in Jersey!

Now, a year later, it’s even more frustrating to catalog all of the things we’ve been through as JaSam fans since, and heartbreaking to face what we are left with from the once epic possibilities for the new Quartermaine/Cassadine heir. *sigh*

But alas, GH may not be giving us anything to celebrate anymore, but our vidders certainly have! This week’s Drive is all about Baby Danny, and the little time he had with both his parents! Happy Birthday, Little Guy! You made our dream come true…shortlived as it was!

This Drive’s For You, Stud Muffin!

A Monday Drive Down MEMORIAL Lane

Happy Memorial Day, GHers!

Technically, today is the last day of the weekend, so technically, I’m not really late, am I? *fingers crossed*

My Sunday was really busy, as Karina came home, and there wasn’t even a moment that I could steal away for myself. I know you guys understand.

I just want to thank you all for the love and concern and the thoughts and prayers you all said on our behalf. Without a doubt, our family has been dealt a huge blow in losing our Abuelita, our matriarch, our GLUE. She kept us all together, and now she’s no longer with us, so for those of us left behind, we’ve really gotta get it together to make sure we are doing her proud when it comes to keeping the family together. That task alone needs lots of prayers and positivity! 🙂 In all seriousness though, Thank You ALL! You guys have a very special place in my heart!

Moving on to our favorite shared pastime, I found a few interesting vids that kept the theme of a real visual MEMORIAL of their relationship, including a alternate reality one that paid homage to the holiday. I thought it was very creative, and I think you guys will, too!

Let’s get going…

Aren’t they worth remembering? *sniff*

I’m not sure I will ever tire of taking the time to remember their Love Story…and I hope you guys won’t either! JaSam lives on in our hearts!

Enjoy your Memorial Day, and for those who have served, or have loved ones who have served…THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY! And for all of you…please enjoy your holiday…and most of all, BE SAFE!

Hugs,

A Sunday Drive Down Memory Lane Full Of History

Good Sunday Morning, GHers!

Forgive me for not posting on Mother’s Day. My beautiful 90-year-old grandma was not herself all day, and ended up going to the hospital just to make sure everything was okay. It wasn’t. She passed away on Wednesday night; peacefully, but leaving behind lots of broken hearts. 😦 As many of you know, my oldest daughter Karina was her primary caregiver during the day, and now she is completely lost without her great-grandmother. We are preparing for the start of her funeral serviced tomorrow, and there is just no way to be ready for this, even when you should expect it.

I struggled with whether or not I had the energy to sit down and put together A Sunday Drive this week, but in the end, I figured the distraction would do me good, not just you guys. 🙂

History is on my mind this week, as I realize more than ever it is for people to understand background and history. Without it, you can never truly appreciate the person…or in JaSam’s case…persons. So I thought it would be a great idea to revisit the history of JaSam, especially now, that their history is all we have. Luckily, a sweet friend, Karlene, (Scooter5117), had dedicated many long hours to documenting the history of JaSam and their significant moments. Our Drive this week, therefore, will look and sound a bit different, as it won’t be regular music videos, but instead fantastic little “History Lessons” throughout their Love Story.

Each vid is by Scooter5117, and i think you are really going to appreciate her dedication! Not to mention the fact that her ideas are just too freakin’  cute! You guys are gonna love these History Lessons! 🙂 Be sure and thank her!

Didn’t I tell you you’d love her vids? Thanks again, Karlene, for every single outstanding vid! 🙂 Wow!

I just adored revisiting these parts of their HISTORY, and I am so glad we got to experience so many of them together!

I had a terrific time on this Drive – it was just what I needed! Thanks for coming along!

Much love,

A Sunday Drive Down Memory Lane…Lookin’ For A Ray Of Sunshine!

Good Sunday Morning, GHers!

I hope you guys are all well and finally enjoying some warmer weather! I was beginning to think we might never see Spring, and that nothing would melt the ice around my heart that’s been there since October of last year. 😦

Alas, here we are, and I’m feeling like a Drive that feels like A Ray of Sunshine! That’s what Jason and Sam always were anyway, so why not celebrate it today? No doom and gloom – just the good stuff!

And because we all have a special friend who could use A Ray of Sunshine herself, I am dedicating today’s Drive to Steph! After all, there have been plenty of times she was the ray of sunshine in my life! Steph’s mom is recovering from a bad auto accident, and it’s a long road ahead. Please join me in sending praters and good thoughts her way!

Still holding out for some MIRACLE someday…please don’t judge me!

Hugs and Kisses to all, and an especially BIg ONE for Steph! ❤

A TENDER Sunday Drive Down Memory Lane

Good Sunday Morning, GHers!

There are times when I really miss my JaSam for the beautiful distraction they brought to my DAILY life. While we will always have Youtube vids, the daily pull of those two is sorely missed! Their magic got me through some tough times…and when I thought about it while looking for vids this week, I must admit that while there was rarely a JaSam scene I didn’t absolutely love, their TENDER moments made me smile the biggest. And if we are all honest, it was those tender moments that made us all such dedicated followers, because the tenderness they shared as Jason and Sam was only that meaningful because of the commitment Steve and Kelly put in to making it transcend from TV screen to our hearts.

So, for this Drive, I was looking for specifically tender scenes that would hopefully help to fill the void left by the AIC’s stupidity. 🙂

Let’s remember the magic together…

Have a great Sunday!

A Sunday Drive Down Memory Lane…Full of LOVIN’

Good Sunday morning, GHers!

I’m coming by a little later because at some point while blogging last night, I fell asleep. It was much needed as I hadn’t slept very well in days worrying over a speaking engagement I had yesterday. Exhaustion and relief finally helped me get to sleep last night – I’m just sorry I couldn’t finish this post first. But, alas, I am finishing it up now, and I promise you, this week’s Drive is a LOVE FEST!

No other couple has ever done LOVE as believably or as realistically as JaSam for me, and these vids will remind you all of the same thing! It’s Sunday morning, which means we should, for the time we are on our Sunday Drive, forget all about Y&R and former OLTLers, and focus solely on our favorite couple ever.

Let’s not spend our time together lamenting their loss – let’s spend it celebrating that we had them for as long, and as spectacularly, as we did!

Here’s to JaSam Lovin’! (The Best There Ever Was)

A CLASSIC JaSam Sunday Drive Down Memory Lane

Good Sunday Morning, GHers.

After two weeks without a laptop, I feel kinda out of practice!

I am sorry for not being around, but with Easter, spring break, and having family in and out of town, getting the computer in for service and then picked up got lost in the shuffle more than once. I actually dreamed more than once that when we finally got around to picking it up, they told us our laptop was gone.

Luckily, we were able to avoid that scenario, and here I am…back at my favorite Sunday pastime. 🙂

Hope everyone is well…I have missed you guys.

I have to tell you all that I watched The Nurse’s Ball every single day, and I am happy to report that it felt sorta like old times in that I was actually eager to turn my TV on to watch GH again. That hadn’t happened in a very long time…I believe since The AIC took over our show. However, I must say that they completely lived up to the spirit of The Nurses’ Ball for me…and I truly enjoyed it.

While of course Kelly and Maks dance was my absolute favorite, I really loved all of it. I was singing at the top of my lungs right along with Frisco, as “All I Need” was an old fave, and who could possibly resist Rick Springfield’s “Jessie’s Girl?”  CLASSICS on a CLASSIC! 

Everything else was pretty darned good, too, just like old times…Sabrina and Emma were too cute, the hotties taking it all off were even better, and Epiphany & The Revelations were OUTSTANDING!

It felt good to love my beloved soap, even if for a couple of weeks. 🙂 While I will try to keep the love going, I can’t really ignore the hole in my heart at not having our beloved couple. 😦

So, I still spend my sleepless insomniac hours reliving the magic…and while it’s hard to be really happy about GH without them, I know that they will always be perfectly happy living on MEMORY LANE! 🙂

It’s why I visit it so often… 🙂 Away we go!
