Sean was nice enough to rent me a movie (he got it free anyway!), so I watched it last night. He had seen it with his gal pal when she visited PSU earlier this year. Hilary Swank is such a good actress (she has 2 Oscars), and every time she started to cry, I needed a tissue! That was meat for the two men here. They couldn’t believe I was getting choked up. I was already kind of down from Father’s Day since I never celebrated it my entire life, and knowing it was really never going to happen again (because my father passed away in Feb, well that didn’t help). And it didn’t help that Gerard Butler, the lead actor ,looked like my late father a little.
Hilary wore lots of hats, and if you didn’t know it, I am a ‘hat person’ as I have a big head. I don’t wear them as much as I should.
I almost missed the third episode of ‘The Mole’ as the movie ended after 10. I’m interested in it as there are (were) three guys from a 35 mile radius from where we live, the closest is from West Grove, a few towns away. Bobby, from Philly, just got ‘eliminated’ last night.
I’m trying to finish up some craft projects that are laying around. I finished an Altered tin swap for a lady in Iowa. I wrote her a note and she said she wasn’t affected by the flooding, but her neighbor was. Then I stained a cigar box that I bought to glue my Amish children and apple tree cross stitched design on. I think I’ll make it into a scissor box because Vonna from ‘The Twister Stitcher’ inspired me! I didn’t do much cleaning, but doing the above motivates me to do more!
My poor mom wasn’t well yesterday-in pain and laid up in bed. She forgot she had hung out clothes a few days before as her dryer is on the fritz. She was using muscles she hadn’t used for a while. I hope she can get that repaired. She’s a constant worry to me. Her car is fixed, but the transmission is going, as are the shocks. Looks like my brother is trying to locate another used vehicle for her.

Your poor mom. And poor you! I hope she’ll be feeling better soon. It’s a constant thing, huh?
I’m glad you found your camera. I’d be lost without mine!
I’ve never heard of the movie you watched, but it sounds like tear-jerker.
But the number one reason for commenting tonight is to thank you for your gift!! The lovely pins arrived today and I just love them! Thank you so much!!
Hi Dianne:-)
Finally catching up with your last few posts! I loved seeing all the pictures of your flowers…mine are starting to bloom and I’m loving all the colours!! The rose bushes I planted in my faerie garden are loaded with buds and I’m just waiting for them to all open up, then I’ll take pictures.
I haven’t seen that movie yet but I have a few coupons here for free rentals so I may just get that one since I’ve heard it’s quite good. I’m like you, I get very emotional when watching sad parts! lol
Hope your mom feels better soon. It’s like my mom, she tends to forget her age and tries to do a lot then she suffers for it! xoxo
