"temple grandin" ...

we had a lovely joyously lazy do-nothing sunday ...

 after an extraordinarily fun saturday spent shopping at the local farmer's market followed by some fun in the kitchen resulting in a wonderful salmon dinner with grilled veggies, roast potatoes and fresh blackberries ... all this was made better by sharing it with friends ... from start to finish ...

sigh ...

and now it's monday ... not that i'm complaining ... for the first time in ages, i have the house to myself ... well as much as possible with two felines fighting for the lead role in "Cats" and a naughty doggie running about ... but here are no other human voices ... just the whirl of the washing machine ...

i've looked after some school responsibilities (i have the very big grand important job this year of being the popcorn coordinator--each year our 6th graders go to outdoor ed as a celebration of surviving elementary school and we sell popcorn to help offset the cost of going) ...

i've put a load of laundry in and cleaned up the kitchen ...

and now i am sitting with my tea, enjoying the relative quiet ...

but before warming up the sewing machine and getting to work, i feel compelled to share something with you ... one of the best films i've seen in a long time ... so good that i watched it saturday night with a friend and then again last night, with my groom and cherubs ...

it is called "temple grandin" ... and it's the story of Temple Grandin, Ph.D., the most accomplished and well-known adult with autism in the world ... you must see this incredible movie ...

now ... i hope you have a wonderful monday ...

and rent "temple grandin" ... do it now ... what are you waiting for ... how many truly great movies come along each year? ...
