dual personalities

Well, we had a snow day yesterday–or make that an ‘ice’ day. We awoke to a thin sheeting of ice everywhere, so most schools were closed for the day.

I would have preferred not to close, but, oh well, c’est la vie. It snowed in the afternoon.

I had a very low-key day at home, puttering and reading, putting things away. I did a face mask.

I watched The Rains Came, which is one of the top-grossing films of 1939–you remember, I blogged about that last week.

Tyrone Power as an Indian doctor, Myrna Loy and George Brent

It is hard to believe that Tyrone Power had two  movies in the top five that year! Indeed, he was the second biggest box office draw in 1939–second only to Mickey Rooney! He has never been a favorite of mine, but to each his own. Anyway, the movie is quite a melodrama with a flood and a monsoon and an earthquake and the dam breaks and there’s a plague. Eye-roll.

And now it is Friday and the first day of March! Daughter #1 is driving home today. We have a few things planned.

She hasn’t seen the wee babes in weeks!

That’s my girl!

Have a super-fun weekend!
