It’s time for our Sunday morning chat. On Sundays, I ramble about what’s been going on, what the rest of the family and I have been reading and watching, and what I’ve been writing. Some weeks I share what I am listening to.

I’m starting this post curled up under a blanket with a warm rice pack, while The Philadelphia Story is on the TV. I’ve watched it before, but it’s been years, so I thought a rewatch was in order. I’ve forgotten some of the details, but I know I enjoyed it. (Update: that was a little crazy of a movie, and I don’t know about the morals of some of the characters, but the acting was really good — especially Katharine Hepburn and Jimmy Stewart. Overall it is a really good movie, but The Husband says it isn’t the best of any of the actors. I told him to stop ruining my good mood and to go away. Kidding. I didn’t tell him that. I understood his point of view and I told him that his POV was valid but he was wrong….again, I’m kidding. I didn’t say that either.)

It’s 42 degrees and raining outside. Our cat with the eye infection still seems to have one so it looks like it is back to the vet this upcoming week. He also seems to have gotten his tail stuck in something because he cries when we touch it and it’s hanging weird. Poor thing. His life started tough and it just seems to keep going. At least he has somewhere warm to go and people to feed, pet, and cuddle him now, which he didn’t have when he was abandoned in October.

He also has fellow cats who slap him for no reason but that’s the price he has to pay for a warm, or cool, place to rest.

What I/We’ve Been Reading

In Progress

I am slow reading Stillmeadow Daybrook by Gladys Taber. Since each chapter is a month, I plan to read a chapter a month.

I finished April and might start May a little early. I am also slowly reading Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis.

I’m halfway through The Enchanted April by Elizabeth Von Arnim and will finish it this week.

I started Nancy’s Mysterious Letter by Carolyn Keene (a Nancy Drew Mystery) this week. Those are always quick reads.

Up Soon

I hope to read a Murder She Wrote book, Aloha Betrayal by Donald Bain, next and then Thrush Green by Miss Read. Or I might switch those two because Thrush Green has been calling my name.

What The Family is Reading

The Boy is listening to Storm of Iron by Graham McNeil.

Little Miss and I are still reading Heidi.

The Husband is reading Crook Manifesto by Colson Whitehead.

What I/We’ve Been Watching

I already mentioned I watched The Philadelphia Story yesterday. I watched Two’s Company earlier in the week. It’s a British sitcom, and it is on Amazon Prime if you are interested. There are also full episodes up on YouTube.

Last week I watched Lilies of the Field and Alias Jesse James (a crazy Bob Hope movie).

 

What I’ve Been Writing

• Weekend Traffic Jam April 24
• Classic Movie Impressions: Shadow of the Thin Man (1941)
• Spring of Bette Davis: The Working Man (1933)

Some Housekeeping

Erin (Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs) and I host a monthly bookish link party called A Good Book and A Cup of Tea.  This link-up is for book and reading posts or anything related to books and reading (even movies based on books!). Each link party will be open for a month. You can find that link up for this month here.

Each week, I host the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot with some great hosts. It goes live Thursday night, but you can share any kind of blog posts (family-friendly) there until Tuesday of each week. You can check my recent posts on the sidebar to the right for the most recent link party.

Now It’s Your Turn
