PUBLISHER’S NOTE . . . April 2024
"We have a Lord who is capable of crying with us and capable of walking with us in the most difficult moments of life." - Pope Francis
Easter for me as a child was always filled with happiness, emotionally, spiritually and always included a new Easter bonnet for mass on Sunday, a huge family dinner with the people I loved and sometimes little rabbit or baby chick surprise! 
Despite the challenging world conditions, and constant surprise drama coming at us from the media I am determined to remember what Easter is and stay in the spirit of "Christ has died, Christ has risen, Christ will come again"! .jpg)
Cillian Murphy (left seen with Robert Downey, Jr and local actor Rod Lowe, photo by Rod Rolle) visited Santa Barbara Intl Film Festival before taking Best Actor Oscar in Hollywood this March. Bravo to this excetionally fine actor!
We have some fun Oscar stories in TinsleTown Tidbits, a.jpg) great story on the American Irish Historical Society in Santa Barbara, a private ok at the Beverly Hills Hotel Spa, and the revival of teaching kids to sew being sponsored by Grant House sewing machine master in Santa Barbara (see Kids Kaliedoscope Page).

The Beverly Hills Hotel is always a point of Oscar Award interest and actitivity and 2024 was no excetion. 2024 Best Actor Oscar winner Cillian Murphy and wife were guests at the hotel during Oscar weekend. Celebs always run to their spa for fabulous treatments and pamering and especially during Oscar week. I've had this pleasure many times myself and hightly recommend it.
