This & That

Hello, dear friends.  I hope that you enjoyed your weekend.

Yesterday, the Mister and I drove to Connecticut for a funeral of a dear family friend.  The Mass was packed to the doors with mourners.  I have known this great man all of my life and even had the pleasure of working for him.  He left a beautiful legacy.

I got to catch up with a lot of old friends at the reception afterward.  They're the ones that are old - I haven't changed a day.  It was great seeing them and I look forward to seeing some of them at my Dad's 100th. 

I chose The Ghost Writer audiobook for our car ride.  It is a tangled tale with plenty of twists and turns.  No question about it, this book keeps you thinking.  When we had a glass of wine that night, we tried to guess the ending.  I'll keep you posted.

I watched another heartwarming story on my favorite Sunday morning show.  Here is the segment if you missed it.

It's been awhile since we had been to the movies.  I was dying to see Chappaquiddick.  Evidently, everyone else on the South Shore felt the same way because there were very few seats left in the  theater.  There are very few movies that we can agree on but we both thought this one was quite good.  

I don't usually talk about really personal things on my blog, but today I am making an exception.  My Mister has been speaking a lot to another woman. Much more than he speaks to me.  She has even taken a place in our bedroom.

Their conversations usually include weather, alarms, music choices, groceries, and trivia.  I guess she's pretty smart because she has yet to say I don't know. 

I can't stand know-it-alls.

The Mister has even managed to get into her head to check on me.  I've got two words for you Mister:  No Threesomes!

Her name is Alexa.   After the Mister goes to work, I'm going to throw her in the toilet and see if Little Miss Smarty Pants can swim. 

Until next time...
