Miss Potter

I usually don't sit and watch Wheelie's Netflix movies with him, but today he had one that peeked my interest.

It was a movie about Beatrix Potter, with Renee Zellweger and Ewan McGregor.
Not being much of a fan of Zellweger, I thought I'd humor Wheelie and join him to watch the movie.

Turned out to be quite a little gem of a film, actually, and I enjoyed it very much. Of course we all know and probably have all read her books about Peter Rabbit, Benjamin Bunny, Jemima Puddle Duck...

It was just interesting to learn more about this remarkable woman. As I checked on the internet later on, I realized that they stayed pretty true to the actual story, which was wonderful.
So I will wholeheartedly recommend this movie, especially for those of you who have a soft heart about romantic and English stuff.

We had the quiet day we wanted to have. I did exactly what I set out to do. NOTHING!
It was quite windy outside, had to move my geranium closer to the house as it threatened to blow out of the pot. It was a bit chilly too, turned the heater on for a while. They forecasted frost tonight!

Called my mom this morning to wish her a Happy Birthday. She was going a mile a minute about her party and about all the great grandchildren there and the others that were there, my brother with his wife and son and daughter, my sister, her son and his wife and their two babies, another niece and her partner with their baby girl and one in the oven.

I am so glad that my parents can enjoy at least some of their grand kids and great grand kids.
It's days like this I wish we lived closer, so we could hop over and be there too.

Next week it's Boo-boo's first birthday. We received an invitation to her party.
And on the 24th, it will be my parents' 62th wedding anniversary.

April is always a busy month with lots of birthdays. I am a fervent card sender. If you are on my birthday calendar, you will get a card from me. Just one of my habits.

Anyway, we just finished watching America's Funniest Videos, a dumb ole program that gives us a few laughs, and now I am going to climb on my bed and read while Wheelie watches some scientific program.



Good night y'all!

SGMKJ!
