Grumpy Old Men

Re-visiting this classic movie and enjoying all the WI, MN touches. Especially today while finishing Easter orders, in the midst of a pre spring blizzard.Told Susannah when she gave it to me that it would depress me to see Ann Margaret with Jack Lemmon! Sus said" get over it! It is hysterical!" (Sophia with Walter!?) Despite the fact that should I choose to date again, this would be my dating pool! What happened. One day I was so young and fun. Still fun and a little young!

My mother went to her 60th high school reunion , a few years ago, in Gonzales, Texas.  Upon her return, she said,"all the girls were with old men" We all thought it funny, but now I understand.

Movies are so different when watched in different stages of your life. Grumpy Old Men is  funny and life affirming. I rarely watch a movie, just a fun background because I live alone.The soundtrack is good too. You can be a luscious Ann Margaret and have fun in the frozen north. Life is what you make it.

weddings

My niece , Kara, is getting married this July, to a wonderful guy name Mark. The wedding is right in the middle of my summer show. I want to be there because I have missed many important events for years and years with my travel schedule. Surely I  am old enough now to get an alternate plan!

My geneticist brother Mark, a different Mark , is flying in from D.C. tomorrow, he ordered "warm weather" yikes, this is Wisconsin. He is no stranger to snow as we are all from Colorado and he goes almost each week-end.We are all so excited!
