Okay – good to know. I’m going to search for these. Canada often doesn’t have the same programming — we don’t get all that Netflix or Prime gets in the States which drives us crazy. Bahh. But I will keep searching. keep in touch there.

Thanks for the good wishes, Susan. Likewise to you and yours. We Have Always… was on Netflix, but I don’t know if it’s still showing. Shirley is not exactly scary, just a bit “off”; I’m not sure I can tell you without ruining the plot.

Hey Carmen, thanks for your comments …. I still haven’t seen Shirley … so I’ll look for it and try to talk my husband into it — perhaps this weekend. I’m sort of a chicken on watching scary things. And I haven’t seen the 2018 movie adaptation of Castle — is that on NetFlix? …. I’ll check for it. Perhaps I’ll try and read one Shirley Jackson book per year around Halloween time. She was quite a talent in an eerie way. Keep in touch. And enjoy your holidays.

Hi Ti, it would be great if your son’s new job doesn’t start right away so at least he can have Thanksgiving there hmm. It sounds like a really pretty time of year to walk where you are. I don’t think we’ll make it for Christmas to Calif. — too much Covid around.
I am ticked & troubled by what’s going on with the election. Everyone knows who won. It’s just more lying & disinformation by the WH to try to hold onto power.
You might like the Monogamy novel. This was my first Sue Miller book & it had good parts to it. Enjoy your week. & Stay well.

I have not read that Jackson book but it’s been on my list for a really long time. Monogamy sounds very good. It wasn’t really on my radar but I enjoyed your review of it and now thinking about buying it as a Christmas gift to myself. My family never buys me books. I buy my own and even wrap them. I need to get a life.

I’ve been trying to get outdoors more. Everything is really pretty here. Not too warm or cold but very nice out. I can actually see us eating our Thanksgiving meal outside if the weather holds.

Today I took a long walk with the pup, worked some, and then worked on my grocery list for the big meal. I am about to start a deep cleaning of the house. I still don’t know if my son will be here for the holiday. His job situation changed last minute and then he got another job but it’s going to be a miracle if he isn’t working on Thanksgiving. I remain hopeful.

Thanks Deb. Yeah let’s hope #45 will start packing asap. Can’t wait for his vacancy. I look forward to hearing about your hiking trip around Sedona and if it’s as good as everyone says. I have driven thru there — but was on my way elsewhere so didn’t stop. It’s beautiful country. Enjoy your week.

Yeah Athira : if #45 doesn’t get airtime — perhaps he & his goons will fizzle and the democratic process can move forward. Let’s really hope so.
Lands of Lost Borders is a good one and opened my eyes to Central Asia which I didn’t know a lot about. These girls really biked so far & saw a lot!
Have a great week.

I’m very interested in Monogamy. It sounds like a compelling read. Land of Lost Border also sounds intriguing.

Have a good week.

Glad you got a good break from all the pre- and post-election nonsense. I expect it will continue all the way into the first half of next year, of how he’s been cheated and how it’s all fake. I just hope he doesn’t get much airtime.
