Hello everyone! It is a sunny morning, and I have a good cup of coffee by my side. I’m going to savor it because after I do, I need to get a move on! We have a busy two days ahead of us. This afternoon Wyatt and I are headed into Ann Arbor for the afternoon to hang out and check out some of the city, then we are checking into a hotel for the night, where Billy will meet us early in the evening for dinner and of course to stay overnight. Then tomorrow we have a bright and early appointment at Mott’s for Wyatt, with a new epileptologist. I am super nervous and hopeful about his appointment, so prayers and good vibes everyone!
Tomorrow is also my birthday! I don’t think we are going to do much, it will be a busy day with Wyatt but this weekend I am requesting that Billy make my new favorite thing, the Dolly Parton Banana Cake! I love Dolly, don’t you? My brother actually made us all this cake last Saturday and I am in love with it. It is freaking awesome. It is a mix but you also need to buy other things as well to go with it, like the vanilla wafers, banana pudding, etc.
Last Saturday we actually spent just bopping around visiting family, which was nice. It was nice to catch up with everyone! We saw Billy’s parents and then went to my brother’s and visited with him and his family and my mom who was over there as well.
Sunday I went to church, then came home and cleaned, so not too exciting but necessary. We are hosting Thanksgiving this year due to my brother’s surgical recovery, and this house needs to be whipped into shape! Other than that, it has been slow around here, just school and cleaning and chilling out with family. Nothing special but very nice.
And that my friends, is a very very short catch up! What has been going on in your worlds?
It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date
Hi everyone! It’s a beautiful Sunday morning here, I am drinking a good cup of coffee, and my people and my cat are sitting near (and Wyatt is watching Mr. Rogers, so peaceful!). I am content and happy. I have to get up and get ready for church soon but I have time to write.
Read Last Week:
Ok, so I listened to another audiobook. I have been finding it easier to listen to books these days than find time to read. I used to read while Wyatt was in therapy but lately I have been actually going in to his sessions to watch and learn as well. This week though, I have an actual book to read and I am so excited!
Reading This Week:
So, my birthday is this week and yesterday I came home to an early birthday gift! Lisa from Boondock Ramblings sent me this book and I can’t wait to start reading it. It looks so cute and cozy – just my thing these days. Wasn’t that so sweet of her? I would love to run a bookmobile. What a dream job that would be!
Speaking of Lisa, she made this awesome reel that went viral on Instagram! (You can find the documentary on Amazon Prime too)
Watching and Listening:
When I am not wrapped up in our comfy cozy cinema movies (only one left! Fisherman’s Friends, this week!) we are watching Wartime Farm, part of the BBC Historical Farm series. We actually just finished it up last night, and now have to figure out what show we are watching next! We love this farm series, it is just so fascinating to see how things were done in the past on these farms. Wartime Farm was particularly interesting because it talked about just how vital farmers were to Britain’s survival during WWII. After years of depending on imports for food, Britain found itself having to produce enough food to feed the entire nation to avoid being starved out as food became harder to receive through imports as Europe was torn up by war and boats just couldn’t get through. Farmers needed to feed everyone in the country, if they were to survive. It shows how things began to get tighter and tighter and more rationed and what the people had to do. It was extremely interesting. They delve into how the government had pamphlets for everything, telling them exactly what to prepare to eat, about the land girls who worked the land and later in factories, about the lumber jills who worked cutting down trees, the Bevin Boys conscripted to work in the mines… I could go on and on. We are giant history nerds over here.
One thing I hope to watch this week is the new Mr. Dressup documentary on Amazon! Mr. Dressup was my favorite show when I was little, even more than Mr. Rogers who I also loved. Mr. Dressup though was all about art and dressing up, and I was such a kid who loved that sort of thing – much like my own child is now.
As for listening, no podcasts lately, just audiobooks. I hope to find some uplifting, seasonal podcasts soon!
And that is it from my corner of Michigan! I hope you all stay safe and happy this week!
Hello all! Lisa from Boondock Ramblings and I love to buddy watch movies together – even though I am in Michigan and she is in Pennsylvania! We don’t literally watch together in a watch party, although that might be fun one time! We wanted our fall list to feel fall cozy, move into some more chilling movies, than turn cozy again for November.
Yesterday was the perfect day for this movie. It was rainy, a little gloomy, and I needed tea and something cozy. It did not disappoint on that level!
This week’s feature: Tea with the Dames
In the UK, the title of Dame is the female equivalent of a Knighthood, and these four women were honored with this title by the Crown for their services to drama. The careers and lives these four women have had! Oh to be a fly on the wall… oh wait, that is sort of what this documentary is like! A conversation between these four amazing women that we get to be a part of in a way.
Tea with the Dames is a documentary, one that gathers these four Dames/friends together for conversation, tea, laughs, some swearing, and some serious moments as well. All four have had illustrious careers in acting, playing roles from Shakespeare to Harry Potter characters to sci-fi movies like the Riddick Chronicles to being in Bond movies. They have run the gamut, and when asked if they wish to continue acting forever, Maggie Smith replied with an honest, “If we are asked.” And then promptly followed that up with saying that Dame Judi Dench is always asked first though, to which Dame Joan Plowright laughed and added that her agent said if she ever wanted a cameo in America, maybe they could find one that Judi hadn’t gotten her paws on yet. It was hilarious, honestly, to hear them laugh and poke fun.
Of the four, I was really only unfamiliar with Joan Plowright. Maggie Smith I always love, and Judi Dench really is everywhere. Eileen Atkins I was a little less familiar with but I definitely recognize her and I found her to be delightful in this film. She made me laugh out loud a few times, once when she said that she and Judi didn’t need the 60s, they acted pretty badly anyways, and once when she was reminiscing about the protests against Vietnam, which doesn’t usually inspire giggles. However, Atkins said that she was there and was suddenly like, I would like to be home. So, she just ghosted and bought herself some crumpets on the way home, and if that is not the most British thing I have ever heard, I don’t know what is.
One thing that did surprise me was when they discussed being offered the honor of becoming a Dame. It didn’t sound like they were instantly like, “Yes! Of course!” Instead, they were unsure about it. I didn’t think it was something you really considered, just something you did, if you were offered that honorific. But apparently not. Maggie Smith and Judi Dench cracked me up when Maggie related a conversation she had with Judi about swearing. She said Judi called her up and said it didn’t matter, she could still swear after becoming a Dame. She could maybe even swear more! Joan Plowright also added that she was already a Lady when she became a Dame, and said “it is difficult to have two titles.” Well, I am sure that is true Dame Joan Plowright. I thought that was just so cute.
This movie really had just so many of these little intimate moments. They of course looked back on their careers, the start of their young lives, acting, marriages and babies, growing old, and it was a beautiful journey to take with them, but it was the little back and forth, the banter, the obvious respect, love and friendship they had for each other, the shared history that made this movie so special.
If you need a pick me up, a boost, or just want to learn more about these amazing women, definitely look this movie up. And don’t forget your tea!
Next week: Fisherman’s Friends. I loved this movie the first time I watched it and I am looking forward to revisiting it!
So. First things first. My brother had his surgery last Wednesday, a spinal fusion in his neck. He came home from the hospital and is recovering, although he is in pain. So any prayers and good vibes for him are welcome! He is happy to be back with his wife and children and getting some rest.
Second, Halloween!
Michigan is so weird all. It SNOWED here. Our area just got snowflakes but other parts got actual snowfall! My dad said in his neighborhood at one point there was so much snow that they couldn’t see the kids outside! I also included Billy’s work costume (they always have costume contests, for departments and individuals). Billy and his department went as the Peanuts Gang, dressed in their costumes. It was creepy having that costume hang around the house! Lol. I also included a picture of someone Billy works who dressed up as Billy! We thought it was hysterical. Also, that guy won! He asked Billy if he minded first of course.
Wyatt and I also chose to paint his pumpkin. He loves it – and it lasts longer!
Before Halloween my brother invited us over so the kids could craft and so Billy could help with a few things around their house before the surgery. I loved that the kit that the kids put together had a little boy in a wheelchair – and Wyatt loved that too!
Other than this, we have been laying pretty low. I haven’t felt like myself for a few weeks and we have just been taking it slow and easy!
Hello all! Lisa from Boondock Ramblings and I love to buddy watch movies together – even though I am in Michigan and she is in Pennsylvania! We don’t literally watch together in a watch party, although that might be fun one time! We wanted our fall list to feel fall cozy, move into some more chilling movies, than turn cozy again for November.
I needed cozy this week. It is so cold here all of a sudden! It even snowed on Halloween! So I definitely needed my comfy blanket, my warm mug of tea, and a good heartwarming movie.
This week’s feature: Little Women (2019)
So. Lisa and I actually disagreed on this version, which is quite alright! You may disagree with me as well, that’s ok too. But I 100% love this rendition of Little Women – with the exception of Timothee Chalamet as Laurie. For some reason I couldn’t warm to him in the role.
When I compare this version to the book, it does obviously have some differences, and I am not usually a person who cares for movies to be different than the book. (I mean, A Prayer for Owen Meany vs. Simon Birch was a big big no) However, I feel like the book really champions Jo so much, while the rest of the sisters are just sort of relegated into different slots. The good one, Beth. The artistic greedy one, Amy. And then Meg, ever practical yet wanting badly to fit in. Jo is brave, fierce, strong, ambitious, creative, driven. But we don’t know too much about the others besides their little roles and are one dimensional while Jo is so dynamic.
And they do still stick to this in this film as well. However, I feel like we know them better this time around. I feel like they have more depth, and no scene conveys this more than the Amy and Laurie scene that takes place in France. Amy is about to head out on a date with Fred and Laurie is giving her a hard time about it, because he knows she doesn’t love Fred. Then Amy lays him out with the truth. She tells him:
“Well, I’m not a poet. I’m just a woman. And as a woman, there’s no way for me to make my own money. Not enough to earn a living or to support my family. And if I had my own money, which I don’t, that money would belong to my husband the moment we got married. And if we had children, they would be his, not mine. They would be his property. So don’t sit there and tell me that marriage isn’t an economic proposition because it is. It may not be for you, but it most certainly is for me.”
I know that this scene rubbed people the wrong way, that it was deemed too feminist. I think though that it shows that Amy more than any of them, understands her position in that world. She is not saying anything that isn’t true. That is exactly the world that her character lived in. She was being practical. She had her preferences for sure, and even if she did not love Fred, she would marry him so that she would be secure. However, I think was also a bit of a push from her to Laurie. Like a wise woman once said, “if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it”. And he did.
My whole life I spent angry that Amy and Laurie got married like that, behind Jo’s back. I felt like they belonged together, and it was so wrong that they didn’t end up together. However, after this version, I was like you know, they would have been terrible together!! Amy and Laurie were perfect for each other, and Jo ended up with the right man too.
I also really ended up liking Meg a bit more too. She always bothered me in the book. However, Emma Watson’s portrayal of her just gave her a bit more soul. The fabric scene broke my heart. Plus, James Norton as John…. (swoon)
Of course, I also love this movie because of the brilliant cinematography and luscious costumes. I mean, it can not get any more visually appealing than this, and I love a film that is just gorgeous.
I guess I should talk some about Jo. I think Saoirse Ronan embodied the spirit of Jo completely. I believed every moment that she portrayed, no matter the mood or scene. She was absolutely fantastic. But, I think I am over Jo’s story and was ready to move on to the other sisters by this movie.
And that is it from me today! If you watched the movie and did a write up drop your link below!
It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date
Hey all!! I hope you are all doing well. We have had a pretty good weekend, a good blend of lazy and active.
Reading This Week:
It is time for the comfy cozy books. Lisa and I have been watching thriller Hitchcock suspense movies and are heading back into comfy cozy movies, and I decided it is time to do read books that make me feel all snuggly as well. And what better book to start with than At Home in Mitford by Jan Karon?
Even this newer cover gives me snug and cozy vibes!
I also recently listened to Stitches in Time by Barbara Michaels, which is an old favorite I always gravitate back to.
Lisa and I have really been enjoying our comfy cozy movie series! We have a super fun one planned for January, that we will reveal very soon – and it would be awesome if others wanted to watch along as well!
Watching:
So things have been…complicated…around here lately. Just a lot going on personally with other family members and myself and when that happens, I go a little quiet here in this space. And..our tv becomes full of old favorites. We have been watching a lot of the BBC Farm Shows, Edwardian Farm and Victorian Farm. My favorite is Edwardian; Billy really likes Victorian. If you have seen these, let me know which you like best, I am curious! (There is wartime farm too, we haven’t gotten to that one again though yet)
This week we are also watching the newest incarnation of Little Women for Comfy Cozy Cinema. And with Wyatt we have of course been watching the classic Halloween specials! We watched Disney’s Legend of Sleepy Hollow, It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, and then this afternoon we watched The Garfield Halloween special with my niece Mermaid Girl. What are we missing, for kids movies? Any suggestions?
And that’s it from my currently cold and blustery corner of Michigan! How is it going in your neighborhood?
Hello all! Lisa from Boondock Ramblings and I love to buddy watch movies together – even though I am in Michigan and she is in Pennsylvania! We don’t literally watch together in a watch party, although that might be fun one time! We wanted our fall list to feel fall cozy, move into some more chilling movies, than turn cozy again for November.
This week’s feature was none other than the classic film, Rebecca.
Another Hitchcock – and our last one! We should have probably named our movie feature series Comfy Cozy Creepy Cinema, but we just dip into creepy, right? Next week we will be back to comfy cozy!
“Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again.”
One of the best first lines ever, in my opinion, but maybe that is because I know this movie so well, that I know exactly what this means. We know the secret of Manderley, and it is not a happy one.
It starts off all romantic. Max de Winter has lost his first wife, and on holiday meets his soon to be second wife, who is nameless until she becomes Mrs. de Winter. After a bit of a whirlwind courtship that is slightly odd (that happens so much in these old movies!) the two get married and then return to Max’s home, Manderley, a cold and imposing looking house – well, mansion. Estate? Whatever, not a house.
If the new Mrs. de Winter wasn’t intimidated yet just by the size of the house, the next person she meets will certainly ensure that she is. Mrs. Danvers. The Nurse Ratchet of Manderley. What a total obsessive creeper! And honestly, everyone is just rude to her throughout the whole movie. Family, friends. She is constantly compared to her predecessor and found lacking again and again and again. And Max is no help at all!
You can’t help but feel sorry for new Mrs. de Winter, and then it gets worse! When Max is away one day, she finds herself in the shrine – I mean, Rebecca’s – old bedroom, which is just as she left it, and just as well tended as when she was alive. And of course creepy old Danvers is there, making it worse. The new Mrs. de Winter finally finds her backbone, and demands that everything be destroyed. Well, you can imagine how that goes over!
Anddddd …. my little synopsis will stop there. If you want to know what happens, watch it, because it is a truly mesmerizing movie, seriously creepy with all the infatuation and obsession, set against this house on the sea. However, if you really want to know what happens, read the book first! And that is all I will say on that.
All of the magic that Hitchcock is known for, with lighting, scenes, the interplay of characters and set, are all present in this movie. This is particularly evident in the scene between Mrs. Danvers and Mrs. de Winter, the living one. And of course, bravo to the cinematographer. I am such a sucker for beautiful cinematography, and I feel like sometimes the cinematographers are just forgotten about with all deference and accolades paid to the director instead. The cinematographer in this case is George Barnes, by the way. I mean seriously. Stunning. Terrifying.
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is a Halloween favorite in this house. I can’t say that we have watched all of the versions, but we have seen a few, including the television show, which I still miss. The Disney version will still always be my favorite, I can’t help it. I grew up on it, I know the songs by heart, my brother and I and now Billy quote from it to each other all year ’round… we are total Disney Sleepy Hollow fans. We were going to watch it last weekend, but we postponed and now it is on schedule for tonight! Wyatt is also working on a Legend of Sleepy Hollow unit study for school that is part history, part nature study, part language arts and while parts of it are too advanced or old for him, I am having fun picking and choosing different things. It’s a fun October unit! (I will make sure to link it here at the end!)
Anyway, in one of my deep dives on Etsy I started favoriting a bunch of Sleepy Hollow items that I thought were super cool, and wanted to share, just in case anyone else shares the love that I have!
Please note – these links are Etsy affiliate links.
I am in love with this scarf from Storiarts! I know readers always say they like to be wrapped up in a story, and with this scarf you “literally” could be. Oh my gosh. I am so sorry for all that but I couldn’t help it. Lol.
And this bourbon/whiskey glass is too perfect too! It is 100% going to be the Christmas present for my cousin this year! I get him a literary glass every year for his collection and he is a big fan of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow as well!
I adore this cross stitch pattern from the Witchy Stitcher! It is way over my talent level, but wow, what a stunning piece this is. Definitely something to aim for in my own attempts!
And every spooky season needs a candle! This one is gorgeous, and with scent profiles that include autumn leaves, apple, and cedarwood I don’t see how you can go wrong. It feels so very Tarrytown too, with it’s apple orchards and autumn leaves littering the ground reflected in that scent profile. This one is from Get Fictional (awesome name!)
And for smaller touches, this bookmark or magnet are perfect! When you want to add a little Sleepy Hollow to your life, but want to keep it minimal – I totally need these.
And finally – of course a coffee mug and the unit study we are doing!
I really like this mug as opposed to some of the others online, it is less creepy, and I would rather to have less creepy in the morning.
And the study unit we are using is awesome. It was a fun way to include some spooky type literature combined with history and nature and recipes as a supplement to our regular studies for October. This weekend we are having pancakes (instead of buckwheat cakes) and making a corn husk doll as part of the study! It is from the shop of Little World Wanderers and I will definitely be buying from them again in the future!
I hope you all enjoyed this foray into the world of Sleepy Hollow!

We wanted our fall list to feel fall cozy, move into some more chilling movies, than turn cozy again for November.
This week’s movie is another Hitchcock, Strangers on a Train, and it freaked me out y’all. It honestly gave me the creeps!!
I had never watched this movie before, but I was familiar with the premise, or what I thought was the premise, that two strangers meet on a train and agree to commit a murder for the other. However, I was wrong, that is not what this movie is about, as one of the strangers on the train wasn’t playing that game.
Guy Haines (played by Farley Granger) meets Bruno Antony ( Robert Walker) on board a train. Bruno recognizes Guy as a famous athlete, a tennis pro who is involved with the daughter of a Senator, even though he is already married to another woman. Bruno is a complete psychopath. Seriously creepy. He proposes that Guy murder Bruno’s father for him, and Bruno will murder Miriam, Guy’s wife. This trade would clear the more likely suspect, and the real killer would not be caught because there is no reason to connect them to the victim. Guy kind of dismisses this whole conversation, believing Bruno to just be rattling on and not serious – because, that would be crazy, right? Well, Bruno is crazy, and Bruno stalks and kills Guy’s wife Miriam. That whole part was super terrifying, more so because Miriam noticed Bruno, noticed him watching her and stalking her, and thought it was a flirtation and did not consider that he was a maniac going to kill her, until, well, he did. There was a part where Miriam and the two men she was with were in a boat going through the Tunnel of Love, and Bruno was following in his boat (and his awkward popcorn) and the shadows on the wall made it look like Bruno had caught up to them – then this was cut scene to outside the tunnel and we hear a woman scream, making which made me start and wonder how Bruno managed to kill her with the two other men there? But, he didn’t. Not yet at least.
That scene was masterfully filmed though – good job Hitchcock! The scene was reflected in Miriam’s glasses, which had fallen off in the attack and were shattered on the ground.
Bruno shows up to Guy’s house right after, and calls to him from a dark alley. Because that is totally normal. Guy is like what the heck are you doing here, this is weird and I don’t like it, and Bruno tells him that he has killed Miriam for him and now it is Guy’s turn to kill Bruno’s dad. Guy is not down with this plan, and tells him so, but Bruno has Guy in a pickle, and I 100% expected him to say Quid pro quo. He has Guy’s lighter, one that is engraved with a special message and two tennis rackets, that he could plant at the crime scene at anytime. And Guy has become suspect number one in her death.
I was really impressed at how much manpower the police were putting out there to find Miriam’s killer. It was super high priority, maybe due to Guy’s status, but otherwise it would not seem like poor Miriam’s death (who was actually very unlikeable) would merit that amount of attention. Anyway, Guy meets with his lady love, Anne, her father the Senator, and Anne’s sister, Barbara. I loved Barbara. She was chatty and outspoken and.. wore glasses. This is apparently a very important part of the film, all these women in glasses.
The rest of the movie is an intricate game between Guy and Bruno, with Bruno driving most of it in a terrifying way. It’s like the tennis match, back and forth, back and forth, with the viewers tense with wondering what will happen next. In fact, there is a tennis match that is super creepy, and totally Hitchcock. We see the crowd, watching the ball go back and forth, back and forth, their heads moving to watch as one almost – except Bruno, who has fixed his gaze and attention totally on Guy.
Bruno’s mom is another treat. She seems to know that her son is crazy but chooses to not think about it. Or talk about it. She just said that sometimes he goes too far… otherwise it is like the song says, we don’t talk about Bruno..
The tension just keeps building and building with some amazing scenes throughout the rest of the movie. Guy sneaks into Bruno’s house with a gun, and we are led to believe he has finally succumbed to the pressure and is going to do the deed – but when he enters the bedroom that should be Bruno’s dad and the person in the bed sits up, and it is Bruno! Eeek!
And then the ending!!! It was a race to the finish it seemed, and it got wild and crazy with a fight scene on a carousel that was stuck on super fast – because the carousel operator was shot and killed by the police by accident (whatttt? no one even seemed to care!) The police couldn’t figure out how to stop the thing which was spinning and spinning and spinning at top speed, with screaming families and children aboard while Bruno and Guy duked it out. Then an old dude stepped up and and volunteered to do it, and very very slowly crawled underneath and made his way back, but in turtle mode of course. Slowly and surely.
Billy and I did have a bit of a laugh during this scene though. There is a part where a terrified mother is in the crowd being held back by the police and she is yelling about her boy being stuck on the ride, “My little boy!!” and the camera pans back to the carousel and the boy is grinning away, having the time of his life. Billy and I looked at each other and laughed, because that would totally be me and Wyatt.
This movie was fantastic, all the way up the end. I was scared and creeped out and whew the tension level. Robert Walker was terrifying.
So let’s talk about Miriam, Barbara, and those glasses! I read online from a few sources but most notably from Shattered Glasses: The Symbolism of the Female Gaze in Strangers on a Train by Nellie Smith that the glasses symbolized women who were seeing, as opposed to being seen. Miriam and Barbara were not meek and mild, they were not the perfect picture of femininity. They were different. They were bold and wild in the case of Miriam, and outspoken and confident in the case of Barbara. They watch. They see things. They comment. I highly recommend clicking on over and reading what Ms. Smith had to say because it was fascinating!
Barbara also wears the round glasses, the symbol of the gaze. While she is far more likable than Miriam, they are alike in the unapologetic way they both observe and comment upon situations. Barbara is forthright in all her dealings, and is not afraid to show her intelligence and mental acuity by a blunt appraisal of any situation, without regard for diplomacy. “That poor, unfortunate girl,” says Senator Morton, referring to Miriam’s death. “She was a tramp,” says Barbara, matter-of-factly.
And that is it from this woman here in glasses, me. I absolutely loved this movie. There was so much to it, hidden in the shadows, so much unsaid but revealed in actions – if you have not seen this movie, you need to. Absolutely brilliant!
If you are watching and posting along with us, post in the linky below! It will be up until midnight next Wednesday.
It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date
It’s been crickets around here on the blog lately. I struggle at times with anxiety and the past two weeks have been a major battle against my anxiety. It’s been a lot, personally and then also being witness to what is happening in the world as well. I have heard and seen this from other people as well, that they too are going through lots of major events and situations, and it is just tough times for a lot of people. Let’s try to all be kind and gentle with each other and those we meet in the world during these tough times.
Read Last Week:
So I can never read when I am anxious. My brain won’t concentrate on reading. So, I listened to an audiobook by my biggest comfort read author, Barbara Michaels. I can’t find many of her books on audio sadly, so I listened to one I have read a billion times, but that is ok. I love it, and it is one of my favorites.
Reading This Week:
Heading into this week I am listening to another Barbara Michaels – and this one has my very favorite Barbara Michaels romance. If I finish this, I will probably listen to another audiobook, but maybe of one of the books on my fall tbr this time!
Lots and lots of When Calls the Heart, This Farming Life, and then we are rewatching the BBC Edwardian Farm series. I tend to drift back to old favorites here too, when I am troubled. Although, no spoilers, but seriously fellow hearties, what in the world was that last episode!!!
Wyatt has been under the weather with a cold this past week, so we have been laying low and taking it easy. He has been watching lots of his favorites too – Molly of Denali, Wild Kratts, and Blue’s Clues. So much Blue’s Clues guys. But, we all have our comfort shows I guess!
Listening – in the evening Billy keeps telling our Alexa to play Gordon Lightfoot. It seems like good Gordon Lightfoot weather though, so I approve his choice. LOL.
And that is it from around here. I hope you are all staying safe!
Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs..
