I wish they'd make a movie out of the sequel someone wrote some years back, too, where Scarlet went to South America for awhile, and she and Rhett got back together at the end of the book.

I think they did. Timothy Dalton played Rhett, (with all the emotion of a dead fish I might add).

[Gabz]

Good grief............

I didn't know they had made a sequel, or if I did I forgot.

You know the name of that one? I never read it but would like to. I only read the one where she goes to Ireland.

One pair of (Sears) black dress shoes; one pair (same style) of "brown" dress shoes I use at work; one pair of "paint-stained" oooooooollllllllllllllllllllld tennis shoes" I use in the shop; and one pair of old tennis shoes I use outside the house.

And a good pair of Bostonian dancing shoes I use with the tux.

[Gabz]

LOL on the paint stained shoes.

Hubby was up on the ladder reattaching the awning after having taken it down to paint it and the window.

Jax thought he needed the paint closer to him and moved the bucket under the bottom rund without telling him.

I thought he had fallen the way he yelled when his heel went into the bucket and paint went everywhere!!!!!!!!

i am reading a really good novel, by the way, i wanted to tell you about. it is called the 6th Lamentation. About a Nazi collaborator who holes up in a church for sanctuary, and all of the web of people impacted by his actions, many years after the fact. The author's name is William Brodrick, if i am not mistaken and i think it is his first book. very well done.

[Conspiracy Guy]
