Jena, what a lovely day we are having. It's hard to believe our temp at 5 a.m. was about 24. We went out to move the ladies at 9 a.m. and left all the pen uncovered. It had plastic covering it. I swear they are more animated with the sunshine--I know I am! I would say there is life in all...

Ladies, enjoyed both your posts. I don't think many of us could wear the elegant dresses of the 1930s. A theatre costumer told me that our bodies are structured differently today. For sure, some of us are packing a few extra pounds. I was laughing the other day about something my mother...

Jena, don't we have good taste! Wasn't the scenery, also Cher's costumes, breath-taking in "Tea with Mussolini"? The pattern books have quite a bit of retro patterns now. I also loved the cast. We don't get the British mysteries anymore. My favorite is still Hercule Poirot. I saw David...

EC I am happy to hear about your eyes. That should cheer you up for the new year! I just read that John Mortimer died. I really enjoyed his Rumpole series. He also wrote the script for my favorite movie, "Tea with Mussolini." Very interesting man.
