This week saw highs of 40's and 50's and sunshine.
Much nicer!
We plundered Avon...enjoyed our favorite Inn nearby...did not encounter the police like last time (which was considered a win by us) and enjoyed Olive Garden
Tour of Italy
(Fettuccine Alfredo, meat lasagna and Parmesan chicken) along with bread sticks and a ginormous salad...and
Tiramisu
in bed.
Carry Out is Awesome.
(and extremely casual)
We may have to continue it long after Covid.
Just Sayin'
Morning Coffee together at Our Table at The Breakfast Company.
(...and chocolate...lots and lots of chocolate...)
Already planning Our Spring Getaway for March!
I had an amazing time, Guy!
The Covid News?
All Good!
Seeing substantial drops in both new infections and overall deaths...worldwide.
John, Loretta, Brenda now all have both doses of the vaccine with little to no side effects.
Since the age group has dropped I am now scheduled, and fully registered, for my first dose of the Pfizer.
And they are starting to report that the vaccination has a positive side effect of helping those who have been suffering from Covid long term effects...which is wonderful.
We celebrated Tina's 32nd Birthday yesterday with Chinese and Chocolate Cupcakes!
Chris is nearly done with classes and ready to start his career...and Tina soon to begin her training as a paramedic!
Both of them seriously discussing home-buying and a child in the future.
James and Jasmine and Hannah dropping in last week to say HI!
Lennon has most everything down to a dull roar now...still a few things to go...getting out a bit more and wanting to reshuffle his schedule to get away from nights. He received another raise and paid off his car...and will be in good shape financially to take over the house.
"I've crunched the numbers, Mom...I can do this..."
I had to smile when I saw they were releasing the Tom and Jerry Movie...remembering all those years ago when the boys would sit...cereal bowls in hand...on Saturday Mornings watching the cat chase the mouse on television.
"James and I are meeting up to watch it together!!!"
Chris said.
The news from Mars has been really neat, too!
Wheeeee!!!
Sending back selfies like a teenage girl on Instagram.
I can't wait to see images from the helicopter drone.
In the art world a Van Gogh has emerged from an estate
and is for sale at Soethby's.
And Louis Vuitton has previewed his Spring Collection...and possibly lost his damned mind.
This was the first of the line I saw...I actually liked it a little.
Then there were more...
Until I had a
"The bastard is just mocking us...seeing how far he can take it..."
Moment.
Apparently, you just take every Beanie Baby you ever owned, and stitch them to drab oversized clothing and suddenly you are en vogue.
Hey, wait a minute...
Didn't FLEA (Red Hot Chili Peppers) already do this look in the nineties???
It has sooooooooooooooooooooooo been done.
No book this week.
The Movie of the Week:
Perfectly cast and a flashback of sorts for me
(...who lived through and remember the events of the Black Panther Movement...the Rainbow Coalition...and the subsequent use of informants to infiltrate...)
A 2+ hour glimpse at what it was all really about.
A bit depressing when you reflect that it is now 2021 and we are still fighting a lot of the same battles, and events like George Floyd (and others) are STILL occurring.
sigh
My hope is that the inequality and racism will end in my lifetime.
That I will live to see it.
I thought we were sorting this in the late 1970's and 1980's.
I was wrong.
Wishing everyone a peaceful quiet weekend.
I'm off for a deep bubble bath...to remove the winter decor...get ready to scrub the carpets tomorrow with Amber...and roasting BBQ'ed pork ribs for tonight!
"Ah ha, You CAN'T see me..."
