HARVEY WASN'T BORN YESTERDAY

WHAT SHALL I GET DONE TODAY?  I am deliberately in slow motion as I usually have a day to rest after a busy one.  Working on laundry and correspondences.  Putting off walking today.  If the weather is alright tomorrow, I will walk early on, but today I said NO.  

We had a very good time while in Kansas City on Thursday and Friday.  Saturday is quiet and slow paced.  😴Hubby is getting ready for a nap before he returns to the dungeon to repair a floor joist and organize our cellar.  

I'm excited that soon the cellar will be at a stopping place and the SHE SHED will be fit to make into a spare bedroom.  Then the TV room will manifest which means our tiny Living room will turn into a pretty PARLOUR!  I need this for a healthier mental clarity and emotional support.  When we get to this point in time, I will feel a weight taken off my chest and go ahh.  🌡My blood pressure will naturally lower.    

I keep talking about this as it fuels my determination to stay positive about what needs to be done when it is moving at a snail's pace due to health issues.  I am my own cheerleader when I can barely move and have to wait for the results to manifest.  Not everyone is so slow.

😳I'll flutter about the house today doing this and that.  There are a couple of baskets holding clean towels and undies that I can fold.  An easy and slow paced day helps me forge ahead.

No Breakfast this morning.  Wasn't hungry.  Lunch was a 🥒small crunchy cucumber, a 🍓cup of sweet strawberries, a 🥚hard boiled egg and cottage cheese.  A good 'ole fashioned DIET meal of days gone by.  I'm sipping unsweetened Iced green tea.  

Supper will be a bowl of 🥣 piping HOT soup.  Maybe some crackers.

Makes for a lower calorie day which I need for recovering from the overeating I participated in.  oops.

This past week on ELECTION NIGHT our television was tuned to an old 1950 black and white movie as the TV broadcasters chatted about the red and the blue colors on the map.  I did not want to spend the entire evening watching the political interest on TV.  HARVEY it was.

I tuned into older movies for a change and am the better for it.  Watched the 1950 comedy with Jimmy Stewart.  I LOVED IT!  FAMILY FRIENDLY and so funny.

 

Harvey

1950 film by Henry Koster

Harvey is a 1950 American comedy-drama film based on Mary Chase's 1944 play of the same name, directed by Henry Koster, and starring James Stewart, Josephine Hull, Charles Drake, Cecil Kellaway, Jesse White, Victoria Horne, Wallace Ford and Peggy Dow.  

Josephine Hull was exceptional in this film as Elwood's much older sister.

Elwood is a extremely pleasant person who invites many people to his home for supper or for a drink at the local pub.  He's easy to love.  Jimmy Stewart did a superb job of acting.  I'll watch this movie again.  Soon.  AND Harvey was a natural. 🥕 grins.

LAST NIGHT WE WATCHED BORN YESTERDAY with Judy Holliday and William Holden.  I thought it was quite good.  Watching a 29 year old women break free from a disrespectful fiancé that physically slaps her about while being hateful to her and everyone else, was inspiring as one does not have to remain with a jerk.

Born Yesterday

1950 film directed by George Cukor

Born Yesterday is a 1950 American comedy-drama film directed by George Cukor, based on the 1946 stage play of the same name by Garson Kanin. The screenplay was credited to Albert Mannheimer.  

The film tells the story of an uneducated young woman, Billie Dawn (played by Judy Holliday, in an Oscar-winning performance) and an uncouth, older, wealthy junkyard tycoon, Harry Brock (Broderick Crawford) who comes to Washington to try to "buy" a congressman. When Billie embarrasses him socially, Harry hires journalist Paul Verrall (William Holden) to educate her. In the process, Billie learns how corrupt Harry is, and eventually falls in love with Paul.

Moral of the story...you can change for the better as you work at becoming someone other than what you need to break free from.

BLESSINGS,
