sitting/watching TV

Listen to the news about the upcoming movies. Anna Karenina, Hitchcock, Killing Them Softly.  Abe Lincoln. I would like to see some of them.

For the day I spent all day watching TV. I never do that but today I did. Margaret came over with a book by Wendy Corsi Staub. The title is Sleepwalker. It looks scary . The story begins 10 years after 9/11 and hints that the heroine's husband is sleepwalking and a series of dreadful murders is occurring while he is away doing his sleepwalking. 

We chatted and Margaret told me a funny story. She walked to Safeway ,nor rain when she started out, slight rain when she got there and a torrent of rain when she was on her way home. A kind man stopped his car and offered to drive her home as she looked like a drowned rat. I can't remember if she took the lift or not.

Our new water cooler arrived today along with 4 big water bottles. That was great as both Ray and I drink a lot of water and we missed the cooler. We don't drink tap water as the bottled tastes better to us and no taste of chlorine.

Then Richard called, very unhappy and we talked about that. He said he just needed to talk to someone and  I am glad he chose me.
Here he is before his diagnosis.

 He got that shirt in Dubai a few months ago. This was just before Halloweèn.

We watched a movie today with Alan Ladd as Jim Bowie. I didn't think I would enjoy it even though all we adolescent girls loved Alan Ladd. The movie was actually pretty good and took place in Louisiana and New Orleans. The movie is The Iron Mistress 1952. It is worth a look if you are a romantic .

We had homemade pea soup and bread and butter for dinner. It was excellent and filling. Ray made it, he is such a good cook.

Prairie Queen by Quilt Pro. Just a bit off center and that bothers my sense of symmetry but others may enjoy this . Half squares and four patches make up the block. It is kind of symmetrical if you can take in the fact that the block carries the 4 patches in opposite sides  but it still looks off side to me.
