La, La, La, All Alone Am I . . . La, La, La

Since I feel like talking, but there's nobody to talk to, I guess I'll just write about the various stuff I've been amusing myself with lately. Having orders for two Santa sets for Thanksgiving, I've been forced to watch a LOT of TV the past few days.
I've seen so many movies, I can barely remember most of them because they're all jumbled up in my brain. I wrote about the Five Little Peppers, but after seeing 4 of them all in a row, I couldn't tell you what happened in each of them individually. I could cite specific occurrences, but not which movie that occurrence was in. I've redecorated countless rooms on HGTV, kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, even kids rooms, and family rooms, lawdy, lawdy!!! The Hallmark channel shows 3 episodes of Murder She Wrote on a daily basis. One in the a.m. and two at night, and I've seen many of them lately. Never having been a big fan of Matlock, that's when I switch to decorating. I hate to admit this but I've even watched . . . get ready for it . . . Walker, Texas Ranger!!!! Do you know how bad off you have to be to watch Walker Texas Ranger? Of all times for my VCR to decide to eat my videos! On one of these threads I wrote about Johnson County Wars, which was a pretty good mini-series. I missed it when it was on originally because I was working at night.
One I really enjoyed was River of No Return. I've purposely taken a time out from that one because I found myself quoting dialog the last time I watched it, and my little dolly said, "Gramma, let me hear the people on TV talk". So it's been a while for me, but once again I was roped into it. Not just because of Bobby Baby (Mitchum - for those not in the know), but it also offers Tommy Rettig (TV's original Lassie owner), a great little actor, and Marilyn. If she had just not thought 'T' was the greatest letter in the alphabet and made sure she pronounced each one distinctly!!! Their adventures on the river, and just the beauty of the river, with the rapids, as well as the quiet spots, always makes for stupendous scenery. If nothing else, watching the movie is worth it for the almost final scene when Marilyn finishes her song and Bob walks in, grabs her, hoists her over his shoulder, and marches off with her, to the dismay of her audience. Marvelous scene, not needing a single word. Golly, if only todays directors could watch some of these older movies and pick up some pointers.
Well, I guess I've yammered enough to myself, if anyone is out there, have a good night!
