Enjoyed a beautiful evening with Mom and Dad. A delightful dinner of burgers, fries and salad was had, followed by a little bit of reading on the couch time before we all decided it was movie time! Watched a 1942 movie “Spitfire”, which chronicled the design of the British Spitfire by R.J. Mitchell. A fascinating and moving film, not the least because it was actually made in ’42 while the war was still on! Leslie Howard was magnificent as Mitchell and I much enjoyed this movie. A well-acted, old black and white movie that also (with a good deal of dramatic license!) portrays historical events? Can’t go wrong. Me and Dad then decided it was probably too late to stay up watching the second half of the Alamo Bowl (Iowa State vs Washington State – go ISU!) so bedtime it is. And of course I couldn’t resist writing a few words in here. Going to read a few words of The Shadow Rising before bed as well. Oh how I enjoyed this evening with Dad and Mom. I am so thankful for them…for all their love and oddities both!! I love them so.

Now, truly I’m off. Peace and love, dear friends.
