A friend gave me a hand painted exact reproduction of the poster used for Judy Garland's show at the local Clowes Hall back in 1967....I finally got it hung up over the computer in the dance/entertainment room.....it looks nice.

That was the performance - on Sunday night - when Frances Farmer attended the show and stood up as Judy ran by to open the show....Judy stopped and talked for a few minutes while the orchestra vamped...tickets $4-$10

Saturday morning greetings!  Today is a baking and wrapping day for me.  Rice pudding is in the oven and butter is softening for shortbread cut-out cookies later.  I’ll be at the package-wrapping table if anyone needs me...

Another rainy day. The sun came out a few minutes, then vanished.

We've been playing lots of cards lately. Rummy. It's been fun.

I will be getting together with family at my nephew's house. We're having carp, which is regional. In fact, we toured the carp museum here.

The real question is how you're going to celebrate tomorrow and the most wonderful of all days, Noche de los Rabanos/Night of the Radishes?

Has anyone here read Nancy Mitford? I've started her book, Christmas Pudding, and it's like a winning cross between Wodehouse and Waugh.

Ive had to disable spellcheck while I'm in Germany. I ordered something from amazon.de and carefully typed in my sister's address.

Brigitte Bruder
Bachstr. 2a
Neustadt/Aisch 91413

Spellcheck changed it to

Brigitte Bruder
Backstage
Industry in the Aisch 91413

The package managed to arrive, thanks to having a family work at the post office. They kept an eye out for the package and made sure it was delivered backstage.

My Mom's birthday....she would have been 87.....my first of her birthdays in my life without her....

Don't have any plans, but something may come up.  If not, it will be a nice quiet day at home - which is FINE.

That is hard, especially on Christmas.

I've barely left my bed today.  Thatch has stayed with me.  Annabelle is buried inside a bookshelf of theatre programs.  She says she's doing research.  I say she's sleeping.
