Memories

Charlton Helston is dead. I think what impressed me most in the news article is that he was married to the same woman for 64 years.

Today would have been my paternal grandmother's birthday. She passed on last year.

My husband sent me this link  because I'm a packrat. I'm glad to know that I'm not even in that woman's league! My first reaction to the guy's bitching is... "If you don't like it, move the hell out." Yes, the woman has serious issues, but if he's a freaking adult, I have to wonder what's the excuse that he can't take himself out of the situation.

Friday, we did Bennigan's for dinner and then went over to Hastings. I got Tommy and Tuppence Set 2 on DVD. If you are an Agatha Christie buff, you probably know who they are. They are my favorites of her detectives. My next bunch of DVD viewings is going to be Smallville. Tom now has seasons 1-6. Picked up 6 for 19.99 at Wal-mart.

I'm amazed at how much "old" stuff that my mother likes is in the 5 dollar bins at Wal-mart. I found a Platters CD and a DVD with a collection of Alfred Hitchcock films.  Maybe that makes me sound cheap, but I rather buy something inexpensive that I know she will like as opposed to pricey that she'll look at with that "What am I supposed to do with this" expression. We've all seen that look on someone's face at least once!
