On the 2nd Day of Christmas Weekend...

The movie for the 2nd day of Christmas Weekend was War for Planet of the Apes. Since I had watched all the original POTA movies, I have felt obligated to watch the latest batch. Definitely, the special effects and costumes are MUCH BETTER now, lol!

This one was a bit boring at times -- I found myself putting it on pause, wandering around the house doing some chores, and coming back to watch. So, not a nail-biter by any means, and overall pretty forgettable...


I like the Maurice character (the orangutan to the right) --

I also walked around Belle Isle yesterday. My knee is screwed up right now, and I usually find that exercise will make it more sore in the short run but strengthen it after a while. Today, my knee is pretty sore! The knee is still weak, and I hope this clears up soon!

This Sycamore on Belle Isle looks to be decorated for Christmas!

Day 3 of Christmas Weekend...

Today was lazy. I got to the grocery store at 8AM this morning to pick up stuff to make a salad for the family Christmas meal. The parking lot was already 1/2 full!

And I took a sweet potato pie (an extra from the Tree Trimming) out of the freezer into the fridge to defrost.

Otherwise...it was another movie day -- Thor (2011):


I don't I realized how much work Chris Hemsworth did on his body for this film -- but when he took the shirt off...well, there he was!



And I finished up the book for next month's book club...it's an old one: Flowers for Algernon. I had read it many many years ago...and I found a PDF online so I didn't have to buy a book.

I had forgotten how sad it can be!
