I can't comment in Wordpress blogs, anymore.  First I couldn't comment in  Lynn's Book Blog.    And now I can't comment  in  Lady imbrium's holocraon.  ...    Something has changed, and WP does not recognize me.   I anyone else having a similar problem?

Are you getting ready for the Winter Doldrums?  -chuckle-  I know, if we were cozy in that above picture, we'd hardly have the Winter Doldrums.  But we don't...  Live in a magical setting like that.

So, do you have any ideas for combating the Winter Doldrums,  when/if they set in?  Besides lots of *comfort foods,* that is!   'Cause lots of  *comfort foods* leave us too-big-and-too-sluggish-and-displeased-with-ourselves.   That's no way to dig ourselves out of the Winter Doldrums. 

 OK!  Maybe just a LITTLE BIT of *comfort foods,* is OK.  -grin-

A fire in the fireplace.  Or a dvd of a fireplace.  Either one is a jolly way, to feel better about Winter lingering.

A brand new project, perhaps?  If we are absorbed in something new, we forget about the weather outside.  :-)

How about you Dear Reader?  Do you have personal ideas, on how to combat the Winter Doldrums?

"The Lace Reader"...  Well, I finished it.   But, can't say I'd *be frothing at the mouth* for anyone else to read it.  Let's say, it's a bit of a Head Case.  A big bit of a Head Case.   Very confusing, for poor ol' me, anyway...

Well, "Grand's" team (The Ravens) won, and will be in the Super Bowl!!!  Hooray!  :-)

And this match up will be a Super Bowl first, since the coaches of the Ravens and the 49ers, are brothers.

Old photos, new film, wasted time... -pout-

♥

These 4 photos below (not about the film...) are old photos, from an old blog of mine.  We were out Sat., but not to take pictures.  Just to get errands done.  ~~~~~~  These pictures below, are of big/long icicles...  And of a couple of our many, many Springs...  Both flowing and frozen.

I came across a review of another one of those great films of "olden folks."  ,-)  (Something like "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" was...)  This one is called "Quartet."  And has great actors like Maggie Smith,  Pauline Collins, Billy Connolly and etc., in it. 

It's set in a home for retired opera singers.  Or rather, a home for down-and-out old opera singers.  The resident's equilibrium is upset by the arrival of an old Diva (played by Maggie Smith).  Perhaps "Downton Abbey" fans would like another chance to see Maggie Smith, playing this *uppity* kind of a role?  :-)

Sadly, I wasted a time, reading 100 pages of "Beautiful Darkness," a 500 page book.  -moan-  I hate to waste time, that way.  ~~~~~~~~~  "Granddaughter S." is so excited about this series, because it's coming out as a film, next month.  She was telling me about it, and I remembered; "She wears a necklace of reminders of memories!"  Yes!!!  I had read enough (In the 1st book "Beautiful Creatures") to remember that.  Magic...  Set in the South...  Yesss!!!  So if the film is coming, I better get going on the other books in the Series.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  But 100 pages into the 2nd one, and its just not my kind of magic book...  -sigh-  Plus, the writing seems to be drawn out.  Tiresome.  -pout-  ~~~~~~~~~  But I have "The Lace Reader" to pick up today!!!  :-)

Today/Sun. is another Big-Football-Day!  All my cute quarterbacks have been eliminated, so it's not that interesting to me.  "Uncle A." doesn't still have a favorite in the running either.   Other than Grandson J.'s fav team (The Ravens) are still in the running, to play in the Super Bowl.   "Pop" will go next door and watch that game, with J. and family.  :-)))  

They'll watch the Super Bowl together too.  FUN!  Good FOOD!  Hopefully Good FOOTBALL.   One of those silly-but-ingrained American Habits.  ,-)  For some people, that is.  I know, not all watch the Super Bowl.

Foggie day

♥

Early...

On a very, very, very....

Very, very foggy morning...

We had a lot of running around to do, Sat. morning.  And then I read and read and read in "The Scorpio Races."  Yesssssssssssssssss!

The Super Bowl Play-Offs are zipping along.   *MY* quarterbacks are getting eliminated, one by one.  -moan-  Eli Manning...  Payton Manning...  Erin Rogers (the guy with "Bette Davis eyes"...  ,-))...  But at least, he was knocked out by The Falcons, who are Grandson Jake's team!   And I do like the name "Falcons."  :-)
