Last Saturday afternoon.................
....we pulled on boots and parkas (I seem to have been doing
this often lately - especially while in Antarctica
last month!), left the warmth of home........
.......and headed into town to view the Titanic Exhibition.
We'd seen it before some years ago when
vacationing in Victoria, British Columbia
taking our granddaughter along that time.
This time we took our sweet next door neighbor Raya - a
second grader who seemed to know more about the Titanic
second grader who seemed to know more about the Titanic
than we did........and did a fantastic job reading the
signage to us.
Way to gosweet smart girl.
signage to us.
Way to go
And this Saturday?
Intentions were to go see the movie "Quartet" BUT
I'm home all snuggled up and nursing a
beastly head cold and no voice with hot tea,
soup, and chocolate of course........and
watching season 2 of Homeland while the
rain falls steadily.
Linking to Claudia over at Mockingbird Hill Cottage for
A Favorite Thing Saturday......a fun place to take
a little break during your day......if you
can't get to a museum or a movie theatre.

Oh, no! Sorry to hear you're feeling under the weather, Mary! I've never seen the Titanic Exhibition but I bet it would extremely interesting. After all, there's such a fascination with that terrible tragedy.
ReplyDeleteWatch Homeland and take care of yourself. We haven't seen any of that series yet. But then again, we haven't seen Downton Abbey either!
Thanks so much for joining in this week!

Exhibit must be fascinating. Get well!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling better soon but it's nice to be able to stay indoors and cozy up with tea and a book or favourite show too. Hugs, Pamela
ReplyDeleteGet well soon. Sounds very cozy at your house. We haven't watched Homeland, but intend to watch it later.

Blessings,

So sorry to read you are under the weather Mary. Stay snug and warm and dose up on honey and lemon to put you right.

Now I am wondering if this show will come to Portland. I would love seeing it. Take care of yourself, dear friend, and be well soon.
ReplyDeleteLoved your comment about putting in your warm clothes..at least you are prepared.
ReplyDeleteYou sure have a wonderful banner with all those Penquins
The Titanic was at our local museum this summer. It was fascinating but very eerie. Especially when given a card with one of the passengers names along with their family members. The sad part is when you find out at the end whether your family lived or died. Very sad tragic event and seeing some of the artifacts made it very real. Hope you're feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteWe saw the Titanic exhibit here in Victoria, too! I found it fascinating and wouldn't mind seeing it again.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you are under the weather. I hope you soon feel better. Hot tea, chocolate and staying cozy are a great prescription.
Get well soon!
ReplyDeleteMary, I'm sorry you are fighting a head cold. Not fun! Take care and get better soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by for a visit. So good to hear form you! I very much enjoyed being an armchair traveler on your recent trip. Amazing photos as always.
Take care, dear one. ~ Sarah
I hope you feel better soon. I would love to see the Titanic Museum - very interesting stuff!
ReplyDeleteOh Mary, I wish I could parcel up some NZ sunbeams and send them your way!
ReplyDeleteYou're in a good place with life's necessities at your fingertips!!
The Titanic exhibition would have been so interesting - horrific as it was - it happened at such a fascinating time in history, I would love to see the collection of artifacts.
YOU will absolutely adore "Quartet"!!! I don't usually buy DVD's of films I've seen but this is a classic and I could watch it over again. I loved everything about it and I've already booked my room at Beecham House!
