"We do have one lead, Minister. Property of a Lady." ~ Bond After last week's slightly disappointing Bond movie, I wasn't exactly looking forward to Friday movie night. Either Bond movie number 12 was better, or I've lowered my standards. Octopussy was better than I expected. This movie was made in 1983. Neither the British…Read more Octopussy

Haunted Handwarmers: Day 3
Clothes make a statement. Costumes tell a story. ~ Mason Cooley I have to chuckle at the universe's sense of humor. The days I have plenty of time for knitting on my Haunted Handwarmers, there hasn't been much knitting required. Like Day 3 which was labeled: Surprise! Day 3 did indeed include a surprise package.…Read more Haunted Handwarmers: Day 3
Haunted Handwarmers: Day 2
Believe nothing you hear and only half that you see. ~ Edgar Allen Poe I was researching spooky Halloween/Autumnal quotes when I discovered the above quote from Poe.

Working from Home: Weeks 31 and 32
Anything I've ever done that ultimately was worthwhile initially scared me to death. It's been two weeks since I did a working from home update. Sometimes life events just get in the way. It starting to turn colder here, and cases of COVID are on the rise. Not surprising as more people move indoors. The…Read more Working from Home: Weeks 31 and 32
For Your Eyes Only
"Goodbye, Mr. Bond. I trust you had a pleasant trip." As major movie releases are starting to be postponed into 2021, we debated about taking a mini respite in our Bond movie marathon. Burt, our tuxedo and most 007 kitty, thought that would be offensive to tuxedo kitties world wide so we're continuing on with…Read more For Your Eyes Only

Fortune befriends the bold. ~ Emily Dickenson No doubt everyone will have their own reasons 2020 has been a challenging year.

Food for the body is not enough. There must be food for the soul. ~ Dorothy Day By now you've probably realized the British Hubby and I enjoy eating good food.

Book Challenge: An Elderly Lady Is Up To No Good
Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson It's been several weeks since I've done a book challenge post.

Moonraker
He's on his last leg, sir. ~ Money Penny Now that we're firmly into autumn, we debated this weekend if we should forgo the Bond movie for Monster Mayhem.
