Looky, Looky What I've Won & Gratitude




Look at what I won at Pam's blog giveaway... Yoborobo.com. I just love my little Constance Pettigrew ornie...she just brightens up my living room. Pam also sent me one of her adorable prints....again, just too adorable. Thank you Pam for everything...I'm very excited!

Lately, I've had some rather difficult decisions that will eventually be in my very near future and I just want to tell all of you how grateful I am to have such wonderful friends. I wish I could just give you all a great big hug and chocolate chip cookie!!! I've been playing with monster cookies...still have to figure out that high altitude thingy!!!! LOL Anyway, I'm so blessed to have buddies like you all. Life is good and it's been without it's trials and tribulations, but that's the way the cu-cumbers (those of you who remember "Laugh-In will remember Goldie Hawn playing the dumb blond always using one syllable words...like "Well, that's the way the orange!).

Now onto the immediate plans, we'll be watching some spooky flicks this weekend. My sweet man ordered the last installment of "Saw" and Rob Zombie's rendition of the "Halloween" movie...he loves Rob Zombie, I on the other hand, not so much!!! LOL But hey, this guy is taking me to see the Celtic Women next month...got to cut him some slack!! Should be a fun weekend...I loved last years Halloween, we took our little grandson out, wearing his sock monkey costume. People just couldn't get enough of him, including his grandparents!! LOL


Oh going to recommend 2 great movies I saw this past week, "Inherit the Wind," and "Milk." These are wonderful flicks and you should really rent them. "Inherit the Wind" is a movie based on the 1925 Scopes Monkey Trials. This teacher introduced Darwin's teachings into his classroom and the town went nuts. The case was tried by 2 very famous attorneys at the time, Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan. Spencer Tracy's character, Henry Drummond, is Darrow and Fredric March played the famous conservative and religious, Matthew Harrison Brady, his Bryan. Much of the trial's dialog was taken from the original court documents, so those scenes are just amazing. I held on to every word said...poetry, prose, critique...it's all there. So go rent it.

The other is "Milk" a more recent movie about Harvey Milk, first gay assemblyman in San Francisco. Sean Penn played Harvey and did a fantastic job. As for Penn, personally I think he's a pseudo-intellectual bully, but he's a great actor. If that movie doesn't move you to go bash a few rednecks, then it's lost on you!!! LOL Only kidding about the rednecks, but it sure got my blood to a boil....great movie, go rent it!!!

Well, my friends, time to close this up and get my butt into the studio. The Chihuahuas are calling...they're cold and we still don't have are heater turned on. Winter introduced it's self to us yesterday and there was even a sprinkle of snow on our mountains...was beautiful, but the sun's out now and it's all gone...oh well, that's the way "squash!" Peace out, buddies.


P.S.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!

what a sweet ornanment - I assume it's the orange skelly head, right? I think I recognize her work.

a sock monkey costume?? I want a sock monkey costume! LOL

Inherit the Wind and Milk really are two terrific films. Especially Inherit the Wind - wonderful performances...and a real exhibit of how far we've come as a nation, intellectually...though sometimes we seem to be sliding backwards. I had a few political issues with Milk - but Sean Penn's performance was absolutely worth of his Oscar.

...lovin' the vampire teeth!

Oh lucky you!!! And thank you so much for having a lit candle for SPC Ryan! That means the world to me. When it gets cold here and I don't have the heater on, the chihuahuas look at me as if to ask "can we burn the furniture?" LoVe the photo of you!

How awesome to get Pam's cool creations!!!!
I love your T-shirt! Your photo makes me smile!
I love to watch movies as I create but if they are REALLY good I get too distracted and stop to watch!
But I'll remember those for when I have some downtime!
I've been thinking about you and you sound good. I hope all goes well. Take care!
