WHOA! .. did we have a varmit visit? or just an "oppsy" post? wonder if anyone saw.. always a curiosity when I leave a thread that I am hostessing early for one reason or another & find a pulled post.

Lots of winter wonderland here & still falling heavily. Have a holiday party tonight. Need to find a couple series & a couple "fun" white elephant gifts to wrap etc. also get my food contribution ready. this one is at church & should be fun & upbeat. Some events are not predictable with folks you don't really know well, who maybe drink too much, get carried away in one way or another etc.

church is also on Sunday after services having a lunch & movie outing to see The Chronicles of Marnia - The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

I know a lot of you are not movie fans.. BUT if you are Christian I would like to recommend TWO movies.. this one & one to see prior via video/CD.

CS Lewis wrote the children's book Chronicles.. His love story is depicted in the movie from a few years back titled, "Shadowlands".. His love interest/wife son (his stepson) is the person who produces the movie now coming out Chronicles.

Hopkins plays British Christian apologist CS Lewis & Debra Winger plays the American Jewish woman who captures this long time bachelor's heart. I guarantee you "gone with the wind" movie fans, you will LOVE this movie. Side note..FReeper Tweety in Ohio's (my niece) hubby is the first cousin of Debra Winger

Slept in warm house last night for first time in about 2 weeks.. BUT downside is that I woke up for the first time with congested head. stuffy etc. the absence of the blowing air is beneficial for me sinus/allergy wise. But it was nice to not sleep in 5 layers & under a mass of covers.

gonna dig out my Christmas Mannheim steamroller CDs .. think I will do that today rather than wall to wall talk radio, which is my daily pattern.
