Hi Deb, I think you should be able to find Belfast … it seems like it will be streaming soon if not now. We’ve decorated our tree … so I might post that photo soon … it looks quite good! Woohoo. It’s feeling more festive now.
I think you will like Oh William … though for whatever reason I’ve enjoyed the Olive books a bit more than the Lucy books … but those are still worthwhile too. Have a great week!

I’m waiting for the arrival of Oh William. I feel pretty sure this will be a book I’ll like. The Olive books are both books I’ve enjoyed in the past.

Belfast sounds intriguing. So many movies are being streamed now. I wonder if I can find it somewhere online.

Hi Mae: I read the first Lucy Barton book but then skipped the 2nd one (which I think deals with her abuse), but it seems I didn’t need it for the third one. Most of the history is evident in this one. For whatever reason, I think I might like the Olive books a tad more than the Lucy series … but still there’s several good lines in the Lucy books. Happy holidays to you.

Thanks Judee — we have the tree decorated now and it looks really good! I might post another photo for next week. I think my Christmas greetings might all have to be done online too … The mail in Canada is just a bother to deal with. Have a joyous Holiday Season!

So I don’t know if I’ll read the new one — I would have to start at the beginning and that’s a big commitment. I did like her Olive books, though, and you make it sound readable.

best… mae at maefood.blogspot.com

I have not sent Christmas cards in years; I do everything electronically now.

Yeah Sam … Strout surely has a talent with everyday dialogue & voice. Glad you liked the new one. Just recently we started going to the movie theater on Tuesday night cheap(er) nights here. Hardly anyone is there …. and it’s great to see films on the big screen again. So far we’ve seen: Dune, Belfast, Passing, and King Richard. All sort of worth seeing. It’s a nice escape from life & current events. Who knew it could be fun again?!? Have a great week.

Thanks Lesley, we’ve decorated the tree now & it looks great! I might have to put another picture LOL. It sounds like you are pretty on top of Christmas chores … It’s starting to get festive! We need to just enjoy it along the way, right? You’re in for a treat with the movie Belfast … because Van’s music is big in so many scenes. I was surprised how much … but it sounded good! Enjoy your cove.

Gosh Ti. You have a lot to think about. Try not to stress too much on the gift-buying. I’m thinking The Girl will make her connection. Often flights will wait. It’s just good you will all be together … Doc appointments this close to Christmas I know are not fun … Just hang in there. Get some fun Christmas-y movies lined up. I’ve been in a reading slump most of the year, argh … but there’s always 2022. Enjoy the Christmas lights …. & songs. Cheers.

Movies are hard to keep up with these days because I wasn’t going to the theater much even before Covid, and now not at all. Streaming is great, but not quite the same as the big screen and big screen sound, but I’ll settle for that for now.

Elizabeth Strout has become one of my favorites in the last few years precisely because of her characters; they just seem so real to me. Sort of like old friends that you talk to every so often and learn even more about them and their past than you ever expected to learn. Good stuff.
