I saw this the other day and had a flashback to my childhood in New Jersey.
.
.
The hand came to life and snatched the letters one by one into the bloody swamp.
Epic. And I was there for it every week.
.
.
For those of you, who like me… comb the beaches.
.
.
My husband has recently decided the wood has to leave the woodshed, the interior wall on the right separating the shed from a storage room needs to be removed and a floor needs to be laid.
I do not expect this project to go quickly or smoothly. Stay tuned.
.
.
Red door.
Since I plan on living more than 3 years. Duh.
.
.
If a cheese fortune teller is paid in cheese? I have the perfect scarf and earrings for the job, sign me up.
On the recommendation of a friend, I’m enjoying this first series even though I thought I wouldn’t.
.
.
It’s quirky with some interesting characters and proves having it all isn’t what it’s cracked up to be.
.
.
Season two of the fungus among us… and I’m all in. Not being familiar with the game, I admit episode two was a shock.
.
.
Sugar started out as a private detective show with an homage to old Hollywood glamour and noir. A missing girl, family scandals, sex trafficking bad guys… and then.
The weirdest most unexpected twist I never saw coming.
.
.
This Apple original series was phenomenal. Set in WWII occupied France it tells the story of Christian Dior and his French resistance fighting sister as well as the self serving Nazi collaborating Coco Chanel. Fashion, family, the horrors of war, the resilience of the human spirit,… it’s beautifully set, well acted and depicts a part of history I never gave much thought to before.
Because the news you can use is too depressing these days.
.
.
He’s the devil.
I think that’s a given.
.
.
Uh oh.
We just ordered a new one.
.
.
Honestly, I try not to think about Elon Musk at all.
.
.
Apparently he’s been paying some of the mothers of his children 15 million up front and $100,000 a month not to speak of them. One woman refused and gave up what amounts to $36,600,000 over 18 years to tell the truth.
.
.
It’s evil, but we love it.
.
.
Whaaaat?
.
.
And now you know.

This made me snort, but the fact that Amazon refunded her the $4,000 and let her keep the lollies tells me Junior may be doing it again.
And while the cake didn’t seem to rise quite as high as it normally does …
.
.
My husband raved about the texture and proceeded to eat 3/4’s of it.
Honestly? I didn’t notice much of a difference.
.
.
I’m so sick of this AI generated nonsense.
.
.
As if.
.
.
This is a real cat.
.
.
Who jumps up to sleep on the spare bed pillows….
.
.
And is too lazy to shift when he slides down between the shams.
.
.
I found some old military photos when I was cleaning out a drawer the other day. That’s my husband in Beirut, with the remnants of the bombed Marine barracks behind him. He removed the bodies of six Marines from the wreckage on that horrible day.
.

Welcoming my guy home after a six month Med float in 1988.
I’m currently kicked back on the couch with a good book and a cup of tea. I’m lazy and have no plans to move for the next hour…. so I’m going with sloth.
Day 8 dawned bright, and as I looked out the window of our condo… windy. No surprise there.
.
.
We said goodbye to Narragansett Bay.
.
.
And a decent enough resort.
.
.
Heading out of Newport, we saw a T Rex selling Girl Scout cookies and had to stop.
.
.
These young ladies were doing a brisk business and we purchased 4 boxes in a drive through line. Very efficient.
.
.
Did I mention there are windmills in Newport?
.
.
Like, everywhere?
With the constant wind I can’t blame them. but it was odd seeing them randomly dominate the skyline.
.
.
In Providence this fellow didn’t seem pleased with the time.
.
.
In Massachusetts?
A very well marked curve.
.
.
Clearly the clientele of this McDonalds outside of Boston are somewhat… questionable.
.
.
Twin bridges somewhere along the way.
And in a mere 4 hours we were home, having greatly enjoyed our time away.
My husband’s birthday fell during our trip and while my surprise Antique Roadshow thing didn’t work out.. ( the rat bastards )…he still had a nice day.
.
.
I thought this guy looked a little like His Lordship.
.
.
Gift #2? A pair of night vision binoculars for critter spotting in the dark.
.
.
Gift #3? A package of stickers that made him groan.
.
.
Gift #4? A lighted coin microscope for closer examination of his collection … which he broke on day one.
🥴

Where there's only one step from the sublime to the ridiculous.
River's world.....
