I don't do horror movies, especially supernatural horror! But I am okay with Vampires apparently. I could never watch this stuff in a movie theater though. I need the smaller screen and the chance to cover my eyes. Not horror, but super violent: Ozarks. I was interested in the characters and what would become of them, but I could not deal with the violence. DH would watch, and then fill me in on the progress of the story.

We needed to go downtown to renew our season tickets to the Guthrie Theater. (Just easier to do in person than online) We decided on a casual lunch at the Bar at Bullvinos, a Brazilian steakhouse. 2 appetizers to share and a Caipirinha ****tail. The bartender was a lovely young man from Brazil and we had so much fun chatting about what we love about that country. While there are many Brazilians in Massachusetts, not so many in Minnesota, so it's kind of a novelty. Afterwards, we made it to the theater, got our dates and seats selected. Something to look forward to when the daylight gets shorter and the Arctic winds arrive.

DH is now headed out for a bike ride, and I am headed to the porch with a book and a diet coke.

Nice healthy meal! I copied the recipes.

From Vampires to Serial Killers! They all scare me. I don't like horror (real or imaginary) in my books or my movies. I guess I am just a wimp.

The engagement dinner with the 2 families went well last night. I really enjoyed meeting the other family members of my future son-in-law who I hadn't met previously. I knew his brother but not his sister - boy do all 3 of them look alike! The sister's 7 month old son was cute as a button and not shy at all. Getting a baby cuddle was a big plus.

This afternoon we are going with the engaged couple to a Woosox game (farm team for the Red Sox). The team moved from Pawtucket RI to Worcester MA (the city next to the town we lived in for 30+ years) just after we moved full-time to Cape Cod. I have wanted to see the new stadium ever since so today I will. Home finally tonight which I am really looking forward to.

That's the story. Have a surprising Sunday!

Agreed. The Manson stuff was so scary because it tells you that a criminally insane person could be anywhere. And yeah, In Cold Blood was horrifying. And hey, I grew up in Lincoln Nebraska and remember clearly when Charles Starkweather was on the lose. You young people can google that mass murderer. ds

Greetings all

It actually rained today for real. Not for very long and not everywhere. Maybe it was just on the freeway. I went to the studio to do my requisite two hours of useful activity per day. Did some glazing and carving.

Last nights calzone was not so good. We will toss the rest. Still must cook those farmers market green beans.

CC I am with you on shrimp vs lobster when inland. I would not like to eat something that has traveled so far. Glad it was good.

Liz farm-to-table sounds fun. What was the meat offering? You guys really get around! You have a lot of stuff coming up. Self care suggested.

Vampires DD! Everyone says those Ann Rice books are great but I don't like scary books. Guess those stories are about more than scary stuff. Many years ago I read "Helter Skelter" about the Manson family. It was incredibly scary. Took me ages to read it because I could only read it in the daytime. Glad you are having a slow week before the fun begins.

Bonnie sounds like you are getting a handle on the move. Stuff will get done when it gets done so why sweat it. Enjoy exploring a new neighborhood. And thank you for the reminder to get rid of stuff. Good on you for supporting ST. V de P.

DH is now engrossed in a mystery about the Lost Dutchman gold mine. He wonders why I like true crime shows

Liz I once had a terrible dream that someone had killed my dog in a science experiment. I woke up in tears and put that dog in my bed.
