Four!

It's telling that Huston stole one of Victory 's most emotional moments from the best. The game between the Germans and the Allies is pure sports movie magic, but then the French start to sing Le Marseillaise and it moves on to a new emotional level. What fun.

Also, watching Pele play soccer is like watching a fine dancer.

Now on to one of BK's favorites, The Court Jester. I never miss a Basil Rathbone musical (like Cole Potter's Aladdin).

Happy 4th everyone! We're staying at home to beat the heat, though it will be a little cooler today than the past couple of days. Tonight we grill some steaks and have a nice bottle of Cabernet.

No DR FREDDIE but she is also being credited with set design......

And Miss Congeniality among the cast.

Thank you Vixmom.

There was a feast tonight to celebrate, all buffet style. We especially enjoyed the pigs heads.

Jane · « **Reply #99 on:** July 04, 2024, 12:07:24 PM »

Since it was on the pool deck our friends went early and got a table in the shade.

Jane · « **Reply #100 on:** July 04, 2024, 12:08:38 PM »

I mostly had big plate of vegetables and friend rice. If only there was tofu to go with it.

I wish I had skipped the chocolate desserts as I fear I won't sleep tonight.

Tonight we learned if we are having trouble connecting to the wifi to stand near the door. Best place is to sit in the computer room on the ship, which is where we left our friend after dinner.

Yes, rain predicted here - many of the fireworks displays have been cancelled.

Or is there just no sun to enjoy today?

We are very bright and sunny today in Johnston SC.

Round one of a "have-it-out-with-a-relative" has been completed.

I posted my Independence Day post here also on Facebook.

Please note that there is zero mention of political party or person or any reference to liberals or progressives in that post.

Yet, one relative's post was so condemnatory of liberals, and she said "Democrats lie" and all sorts of Fox News crap.

Not one reply to my post mentioned any news channel or report, yet she had to post "You are watching the wrong news network".

I deleted her comments and messaged her that I've had enough of her rancid posts. I said the same things to her I said above, and I invited her to spread her Fox News-obtained disinformation on her own Facebook page. i said I wanted to remain friends, but there is no room for her proselytizing what I consider nonsensical fake news.

Haven't heard any feedback yet, but I expect there will be some. And more from her husband who is actually related to me.

Today is Leonard's birthday. He is 6.

Laura · « **Reply #116 on:** July 04, 2024, 02:47:39 PM »

At least, I think he was about 3 months old when he showed up on my patio in October. So I chose July 4 as his birthday.

July 4th is a good choice of birthday. Birthday wishes for Leonard!

A very happy birthday to DC Leonard!

This week we got the vet's automated birthday greeting for Mikey, who is 16. Sixteen! It seems like we just adopted him maybe five years ago, but in fact it was in 2010. His age was a guesstimate, but a pretty good one, based on the observations of his original rescuer on Lawn Guyland back then.

Hello, everyone.

(That originally appeared as “Hell, everyone.” Which might actually make more sense.)
