Friday has arrived and Fall too, it would seem. The temperatures dropped yesterday and I must say I am enjoying the cooler temps and all that goes with that.

Talk about God rays…Is this photo cool or what?

Well, I have no Big Plans for the weekend. I am hoping to go to a program co-sponsored by the Missouri Historical Society Library and Research Center and the St. Louis Genealogical Society. Who knows? I may learn something.

I will catch up on puttering and house projects and reading.

Meanwhile the wee babes have been enjoying their little Lutheran pre-school/daycare…

…but they have caught every bug out there, and are frequently home with a temperature.So we have not seen them in two weeks! Our regular Sunday night dinners are regular no more. C’est la vie. Here’s hoping (🙏) we see them this weekend!

The OM and I watched a good movie the other night which I recommend to you as my weekend movie pick.

As usual, this poster in no way represents the tone of the actual movie or, indeed, what it is actually about.

One of Our Aircraft Is Missing! (1942) is an early film from “The Archers,” the terrific team of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, who wrote, directed, and produced the film.

Made during the war, it is an exciting tale of six downed British airmen in German-occupied Holland, who are all very different, but all determined to get back to England and fight again. They are aided in their escape by stalwart Netherlanders, including some bright children and very brave women. [Sidebar: I couldn’t help wondering how the brash young women of today would fare against real Nazis.]

The filmmakers knew how to make all the characters distinguishable and real with just a few lines of dialogue. I was impressed.

Do check it out. It is available on Amazon Prime. Have a great weekend!
