Soon you'll float, too!
Today's Morning Cup begins with a review...so if you STILL haven't seen the latest release of IT...turn away now-
Wow! Caught this on Monday. I loved Tim Curry as Pennywise...but this one was 100x scarier...better. Bill Skarsgard's depiction was darker...more threatening...even the muted colours in his suit and make-up was closer to the clown I imagined while reading the book all those years back.
Unlike the original motion picture this one divided the book into halves...making it much easier to transfer to the wide screen. Instead of trying to pack the story of the children and their adult counterparts into one film. They have spent the entire first film telling the children's stories...building background.
The Sequel will be the continuation of them as adults.
Great casting. Good score. I don't usually care for re-makes...but this is indefinitely better than the original.
Well worth your time and money.
Can't wait for the Sequel.
Finished the latest Stephen King novel, as well, this week.
A Collection of Short Horror Stories from the Master of the Genre. Enjoyable but not spectacular. Good, but certainly not his best. After Joyland and the Mr. Mercedes Trilogy, it may be that I just enjoy his psychological thrillers more than the overt killer car type stories,now.
A book that is nice to go through slowly. Read one story. Digest it. Read another tomorrow.
Worth a look see.
I've spent most of the week recovering from that kidney infection and regaining my strength (...as well as dealing with the side effects of Amox 875...bleah) Slowly pulling it back together.
Have made a start on Fall Decorating...but far from finished.
I do have a wonderful Spiced Pumpkin Jarred Candle and have also (already) baked Cinnamon Bread Pudding, Cherry Crostada and Pumpkin Spice Cookies through the week to take the morning chill off the house, Also to accompany my favorite Fall Tea: Bigelow Orange Spice.
Tina is into her EMT Clinicals and doing very well.
Chris just received this
He is busy with his Network Plus Course and has been learning Coding.
Lennon (and his Gran) made it safely back from Evacuation...although the drive
"sucked hard"
and he had to be back to work immediately-
They were extremely fortunate and came home to a mess but no structural damage and the power was ON!!!!
James and Nicole and the kids added a member to their family this week
Brenden's new buddy
"Dino" the Ferret
He is just too cute.
Emma made the paper!
Nicole says James deserves some of the credit for working with her.
And all the kids made bath crafts with Nicole
All of our Florida friends and family cleaning up a lot of debris, water or both. Several still without power...but everyone back from evacuation and basically unscathed.
Overall everyone very blessed.
A new positive development with Shelby, as well. Not only is she now sleeping with me nightly, but when I wake in the morning she has started this habit of holding my forearm to her as she sleeps like a teddy bear. I wake with this fuzzy gauntlet wrapped round my arm...lol!
I am the cat's "woobie".
Apparently, I have finally became her person.
Last weekend was the first pot of Grandpa's Chili fixed this Fall...and tomorrow I am doing a kettle of Ham and Beans.
Fall Food at Last!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Shel and her "mousie"
