Saturday Afternoon at the Movies

 This idea came from a Facebook meme:

Over 10 days, post your 10 all time favorite films. What movie has really made an impact on you or what films can you watch over and over and never tire of? Post either the movie poster, DVD cover or even a screenshot on your timeline. No need to explain.

Only I had a hard time picking out just 10 movies so my favorites over the next few hundred Saturdays 😸 in semi-alphabetical order my favorite films. What movie has really made an impact on you or what films can you watch over and over and never tire of? Post either the movie poster, DVD cover or even a screenshot on your timeline. No need to explain.

Young Frankenstein (1974) Gene Wilder, Peter Boyle

The Friday Five Good Things

 Five good things that happened this week.

1. Another Summer like afternoon so I watched Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte in the sun room.

2. I re-caulked the shower and declared I wasn't cooking. Take-out dinner from Tony's our local pizza and sub shop.

3. Himself washed all the windows. Inside and out.

4. Himself found the thumb drive with his family movies that his brother gave him. We watched some of the movies in the afternoon.

5. The Roku device arrived so we can watch TV in the bedroom as there is no cable box in that room. Step one to cutting the cable.

How was your week?

T Stands for Halloween Card and Mug

 

I was sending some calligraphy magazines to my friend, Nan, and thought I'd make a Halloween card. I found an easy design on the Brother Canvas Workspace. I added a sticker to the front of the card.

The card was a pop up. Too fun. 

A lot of the T Ladies have been showing Halloween or Autumn mugs/cups in their posts. I was sad and a little jealous because I didn't have a Halloween mug. Then while rummaging in the cupboard for a clean, Christmas mug,(any mug will do as long as it's clean.)I happened to find a blue mug with ghosties! What joy! What rapture!

The Halloween mug belonged to the Eldest. In college, she worked as a customer service rep for a catalog company. One Halloween, her supervisor had a  mug filled with goodies at each rep's station. But now, the mug is mine!

Autumn Carrot and Sweet Potato Soup

Several readers have asked for the recipe for the sweet potato and carrot soup I made last week. I found a recipe online: Autumn Carrot and Sweet Potato Soup 

The recipe was easy to follow with ingredients you probably already have. It did suggest using an immersion blender which I don't have. I used a regular blender and blended the soup in batches. 

How Does Your Garden Grow?

 

Blogger is still uploading multiple images in reverse order. Oh well. The oak tree is still green and has all it's leaves. The oak leaves turn brown and will drop sometime around Thanksgiving.

Bare trees in the woods

The maples have lost their leaves and the Leaf Lady's brilliant red azaleas are gorgeous.

Look at the size of the Heavenly Blue Morning Glory!

The morning glories are enjoying the unseasonably warm temperatures. Just like me

Green things doing well in pots. I have no idea what Himself will do with these as the weather gets colder.

I almost forgot about these Halloween decorations

Misty morning looking down the street.

Out front a tree in the mist, but the photo doesn't quite capture the light.

The petunias are still blooming. Looks like a cold night effected the yellow mums as they are tinged with purple.

How does your garden grow?

T Stands for A Toast to A Son From The House of Frankenstein

 To get in the mood for Halloween, a few scenes of eating and drinking from Frankenstein (1931) starring Colin Clive as Henry Frankenstein, Mae Clark as Elizabeth, John Boles as Victor, and Boris Karloff as The Monster.

Henry Frankenstein's fiancée, Elizabeth, and his best friend, Victor talk over coffee. Elizabeth confides that she's worried about Henry.

Henry has a breakdown and is recovering. Elizabeth and Henry have an afternoon tea. Here she passes him a nice cuppa.

On Henry and Elizabeth's wedding day, Henry's father, Baron Frankenstein, has a bottle of wine his parents laid down to be opened when the Baron's son marries. The Baron hopes 30 years from now, Henry will be able to toast his own son on his wedding day with a bottle of wine put specially away for the occasion.

The staff is permitted a glass of champagne as the Baron considered  the special wine would be wasted on them.

Henry recovers after the wedding day went sour. The maids thought he could use a glass of his grandparent's wine.

The Baron thought that was a nice gesture, but decides Henry needs his rest, but he could do with a glass of wine. "A toast to a son from the house of Frankenstein."
