Fri. fun, and Sat. sun...

We had a nearly full day of sun, on Fri.  Wow!!!!  And a purrrrrrfect Saturday is forecast!  Double wow!!!

Yesterday was spent, as I said....  Up at 6am, to watch old Esther Williams films on A&E.  Watched 'till an old black and white one, with no swimming, came on.  Turned that off and baked the bread.

  The bread, which I am not showing.  Because I messed up the recipe, and it did not come out, "pretty."  It's ok to eat, but I'll have to do it again.  More Correctly!  ,-)


Then it was back to more movies, until I had to take a nap.  Missed some of that one.  But then continued my marathon watching, thru the last one, at 8pm.  Wow!!!

I have fun with old movies, by watching to see who did the Set Design on them.  (The name I recognize most, is (click-->) Edwin B.Willis...)  And also have fun, noticing other actors, who later became more famous.

A very young (click-->)  Ricardo Montalban  was in a couple of them.  Oh my wow!!!!!  What a gorgeous man he was!!!

All his life.  Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm....   Yummmmmmmmmmy...  :-)

I read for a while, but had to go to bed.  I was tired!  LOL. 

And woke to beautiful SUN, this (Sat.) morning.  Yessss!!!!!

Wondering, am I the only "Old Movie Fan," out there in Pretty Blog Land?  :-)  I kind-of doubt it.  If you too, are a fan, which kind of "Old Movies," are your favorite?  Or do you like a lot of different types of them?

I love old movies too, but don't really have a *type*... like the kind that make you feel good and some that are made in beautiful places like Ireland. There is only one that I can think of at the moment that I rented once... think it was called "Lavendar ladies". I do own a few really old ones like "Harvey".

Old movies... now, let's see. I've got the original Blob, The Body Snatchers, King Creole, I love Marilyn Monroe in Some Like It Hot (I do) and The Seven Year Itch.

Have a great weekend!

I'm not really a television or movie fan. It's hard for me to sit still long enough to watch one through!! : )

We have a beautiful sunny day here too.

Auntie, I love old movies. One of the reasons , they have real special effects..not that computerize herky-jerky "crap". I can't get into to watching the newer FX. Hope you got rested up. We had a beautiful friday and today was very nice. It's 4:15 and getting dark like it could rain. Enjoy your Sunday. xoxo,Susie

I remember seeing some of the Ester Williams' films. I laughed about a comment made about her "Wet she's great, dry she ain't." Sorry that the bread didn't look pretty. Sometimes the messiest things taste the best.
