Bones & Booth

March 3, 2013 by Kristin Leave a Comment

The following post is about the TV show “Bones.” I’ve watched the first seven seasons and the first episode of season eight. OK, yes, we caved and paid $1.99 for the 40 minutes of television we had to see. That’s what cliffhangers do. Don’t read any farther if you don’t want to know any of the plot from seasons one through seven. And, friends, really, don’t tell me about the eighth season I haven’t seen.

Dear Bones and Booth,

My husband and I watched 142 episodes of you on Netflix. That’s seven seasons. Sometimes two or three a night. Admittedly, I got a little bored with your show sometime in the fifth season. But that’s normal for me. {Read more about my TV favorites and tendencies here.} It was the hope that you’d embrace your love for each other that kept me going, yet the lack of soap opera drama is one reason I liked the show from the beginning.

And then season six picked up. And seven season was possibly the best yet. That episode when Christine was born. Oh, goodness. See, I knew you all were meant to be together. I’m glad it’s clear that having a baby isn’t the only reason you’re together. You really do love each other. We’ve seen it from the beginning. So has Sweets.

Your supporting cast of characters is strong. You’ll are smart and loyal. And I don’t know how the rotating cast of lab assistants works for you, but it actually works for me. Something about the regular irregularity works.

I remember watching “CSI,” the original one and later the one in Miami, for years. I got tired of the cases because they started seeming the same. Somehow that hasn’t been true with your work.

Instantly watch from thousands of TV episodes & movies streaming from Netflix. Try Netflix for FREE!Earlier this week, we watched a case get personal and realized it wasn’t going to get solved in the last nine minutes of the episode when we paused it. {I think I had to tell my husband something, prompting a pause.} It was after 10 p.m. and we were debating whether we’d watch the next episode, knowing we were hooked on watching you all figure out just how that computer genius killer who wears an ankle monitor was setting up you, Bones, to look like a murderer. Staying up that late to watch TV is a big deal around here.

Bones, you drove off, leaving Booth to make your world safe to come back to. He didn’t want you to go, but he knew your dad knew how to advise you to be fugitive away from the system.

And we were left hanging. There wasn’t another episode. #142 was it on Netflix. We didn’t realize we’d caught up to the current season. We were going to sit there for another 40 minutes to see the rest of your story unfold. Now we’ll have to wait a while longer because we can’t keep paying $1.99 an episode.

Sincerely,
Fans who liked binge-watching you solve cases and fall in love

About Me

Telling stories is my therapy and I love sharing them with friends on my porch.

The main characters in my stories are my entrepreneur husband, our eighth-grade girl who never forgets, our have-no-fear fifth-grade boy, and our joy-filled preschool girl. As we live out our stories, we seek God as the author of them all.

A new book by a favorite author is always a welcom A new book by a favorite author is always a welcomed thing, and @kristinhannahauthor didn’t disappoint. Plus it was my @bookofthemonth pick. 

#TheFourWinds is set during some sad years with the Dust Bowl, migration to California, and the Great Depression. Yet this is a story of hope and belonging. Hope kept a mom and her two kids going, despite circumstances that destroyed. Hope led to this mom finding her voice, recognizing her worth, and discovering love that lasts.

Seven weeks after quadruple bypass heart surgery, Seven weeks after quadruple bypass heart surgery, my mother-in-law moved home today. We were happy to care for her and we are thrilled she’s doing so well. 

I knew she was faithful and strong before, but watching her recovery from open heart surgery convinced me even more of her steadfastness and courage.

Often I don’t want the weekend to end or the sea Often I don’t want the weekend to end or the season to change, but I’m looking forward to Monday after three weeks of quarantine and sickness then snow. I’m looking forward to the snow melting away and eager for spring to bloom.

I’m grateful for health and family and home and a fresh start. A walk through the melting snow with the sun shining and temperatures in the 50s was a sweet spot today. So was gathering with friends we hadn’t seen in too long after church.

Just a few days ago I felt defeated and weary. Now I’m feeling ready and hopeful. Transitions can be rough, but ultimately I’m thankful for new mercies and new seasons.

We’re sad tonight was the last #MurrayState home We’re sad tonight was the last #MurrayState home basketball game of the season, but we are thankful we had some live winter entertainment. Of course, games looked and sounded different than usual, but the season isn’t over and we’ll be rooting for our blue & gold. 💛 #WeAreRacers #RacerNation #collegebasketball #TeamTaylor #weekending #socialdistancing #thirdchild
We all benefitted from getting outside today. Hone We all benefitted from getting outside today. Honestly, I was so bundled up I got a little warm because somehow I now live where 30 degrees (that feels like 21) is a heat wave. These three help me remember to loosen up and enjoy the moment. ❄️

I'm glad I was able to contribute to "Songs of Hop I'm glad I was able to contribute to "Songs of Hope (Vol. 2)", which was compiled by fellow writers @kerilynnsnyder & @sarah_e_frazer. This devotional spends 31 days in the Psalms. 

I share about Psalm 68 and how God built a sanctuary for me at our house in the country and how I want to share that with others. I end the devotional with these questions and a prayer:

"Songs of Hope" offers encouraging truth to bring hope to your weary soul. The devotional is a digital product so you receive the PDF immediately and can read it on any device.

I ended 2020 saying it had been a weird year, but, I ended 2020 saying it had been a weird year, but, truthfully, the first six weeks of 2021 have been weird too. Weird seems like a weak word, but I can’t think of another. These past six weeks haven’t been bad, have included plenty of great moments, and shifted so many things in our house. Through it all, my best friend Jaclyn and I haven’t gotten to hang out much.

I’m thankful Greg picked up her and her girls in his four-wheel drive truck yesterday after his short day at the office. We bundled up for some time outside, the kids had legit snow cones, we combined food to make dinner, and various people played various games. Jaclyn and her girls went back to their house this morning, but we are all thankful for old friends & new memories.
