dual personalities

Our weather continues to be beautiful, but cold temps are on the way, or so they say. I moved all the plants out of the Florida Room in anticipation of frosty temperatures. Lottie noted this on Sunday and declared that we could no longer call it the “Nature Room.” C’est la vie.

In other news, today is the OM and my anniversary–42 years.

I plan to watch Shane (1953) as this is my new tradition. There is an anniversary celebration in that movie, you will recall, not long before the denouement of the film. Maybe the OM will run out to Chick-fil-A for dinner.

Meanwhile I am trying to get ready for a quick jaunt to Maryland on Friday to visit this little missy and her dear parents…

But I keep getting sidetracked by this 1,000 piece puzzle…

And, by the way, earlier this month was the 67th anniversary of the debut of the Captain Kangaroo Show in 1955. I watched this show for years in the sixties and loved it. The Captain actually read books on the show. I remember vividly his reading The Little House by Virginia Lee Burton and the pan and scan way they showed the pages. It was very simple and very effective, nothing showy or loud. Maybe there was some silliness with Mr. Greenjeans, Bunny Rabbit, Mr. Moose, and the rest. I remember them all with great affection.

Here’s an interesting little video about the show:

So whatever you do, have a great day.
