Wednesday Quickie

December 27, 2017 By Carole

Hey there! I didn’t mean to go all AWOL on you this week but I’ve been having such a lovely time hanging out with Dale and doing . . . well . . . not much of anything except for watching movies and TV that I just haven’t had the urge to open up the computer.

I will tell you that as of today I haven’t left the house in days and it’s been great. We had a wonderful Christmas Eve with a house full of family and friends and a perfectly excellent Christmas Day with the kids. On Boxing Day we did put some stuff away but mostly loafed around. We watched Get Out and Beguiled, we caught up on This Is Us, and we both finished books we were currently reading. I think today we will venture out into the world to go to the movies (The Darkest Hour? Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri?) and out to dinner. Then again, the call of the wood stove is strong so who knows!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and that your week is going along beautifully. Given my current slug-like attitude I’m going to go out on a limb and say that I won’t be blogging again until . . . next year – which isn’t really that far away right now!

Peace, my friends.

    Sounds like a lovely retreat from the world and much deserved! Go see Three Billboards. You won’t be sorry.

    I’m hibernating over here as well. I love it after all the hustle and bustle of the last few weeks. Enjoy the movies. We saw Lady Bird last week. It was very good.

    Good for you! You’re living the dream I was imagining for myself this week before life, work, and laundry interfered. Soak up as much peace and warmth as possible!

    We have been just hanging around at home and it has been just what I need. EnJOY!

    Also cabining in at home. Maaaaybe we’ll go to a local movie theater. Christmas music has been in rotation on the Bose for a week–and we may never turn on MSNBC again! What a relief to not see or hear you-know-who constantly.

    You’re doing what feels right on a nice Christmas weekend! I saw Three Billboards awhile ago and thought the acting superb. The story creates a moral dilemma, which leaves one to think about it for days to come. Hope you had a delightful day no matter what!

    Sounds like an excellent plan. Can’t wait to hear how you like Three Billboards. It looks great and you can’t go wrong with Francis McDermott! Enjoy and Happy New Year.

    I guess I decided the same thing . . .
    Enjoy this lovely, do-whatever-you-feel-like week!!!

I read 7 books and had, well, more cocktails than that. 🤣 We’re having our usual snacks on the deck, that sterling silver canoe that I bought in Camden, ME is the star of the tray. Okay, maybe the cheese from @thelostkitchen, too, because it’s perfectly stinky and utterly delicious.
