Police Memorial Ceremony

As many of you know, John's Dad was an Englewood, New Jersey police officer who died on duty in 1975- John was 7 years old, his brother Joe was 4. Every year in mid-May there is a wonderful ceremony to remember all the officers and federal agents in Bergen County New Jersey who have died on duty over the years (39 total over 89 years). Today, John and I attended this annual memorial ceremony along with John's family members who could be there. It was a hour long ceremony with hundreds of police and law enforcement officers present and a number of family members of the officers. The Crowley family always is there (34 years running now...) and always seems to have the largest family contingent. Thought you would enjoy this slideshow from the memorial.

It's Purple

Megan wanted to redecorate her bedroom for her birthday last year. Six months later Meg got her purple room! It also turned into her Christmas gift, New Year's gift, Valentine's Day gift, St. Patrick's gift and Easter gift! Happy Birthday Megan!

Here is the CBS Early Show piece this morning that debuted the story about the film.

Megan & Twilight

You will only appreciate this post if you're a Twilight fan.............

Megan's favorite movie is "Twilight"....the big Vampire movie/book tween hit (Ok I loved it too and yes stood online with friends opening night) was filmed in Portland! Some of the scenes were filmed on the same sound stage that our movie is being filmed......too cool! Molly (one of the awesome people working on our movie) told us that the Carver Cafe where Bella and her dad go out for dinner in two scenes was right down the street. So, a few wrong turns later our two huge handicap vans pull up into the parking lot just as they are turning off the OPEN sign and closing the curtains on the windows.....just our luck! Sharon, of course, ran in and explained that Megan was the biggest fan and had to see the inside. The owners graciously let us in to take pictures. They also had a guest book for all the Twilight fans to sign and we bought a T-shirt that says "I had a Bite at The Caver Cafe". I'm pretty sure Megan was more excited about seing Bella's table than meeting any movie stars in the "Crowley" film....well, not really, but close!............Ah, pre-teen 12 year olds!
