Here are some recent (more or less) pics from Rebekah, Loretta and Mike .....

---

Rebekah, some of her young Dance by Design students, and Christian somewhere between Texas and DisneyWorld .....

---

Loretta, Jack, Rachel and Jake, down to Disney to bring Jake home (the party's over kiddo).

Loretta and Jack .... I think all my grandchildren are now taller than me !!! .... and isn't he handsome (those are my genes at work)!!!

And . . . up to South Carolina . . . Jake, Sara, Jack, Loretta and ?Sara's Mom?. . .

Shamelessly stolen off Rachel's Instagram page .... A true Fashionista !!!

---

Chris and Mike ventured up to Montreal just after Christmas .... and Saoirse ("Sirsha") giving them her "You left me home" stare....

---

Two pics of Great-Grandson Archie (family barely moved into new home at Christmas - hectic times !!!). Sadly I can't get the video clips to convert properly (they are *.3gp files ?)

A suprisingly excellent vintage "crime" movie

"I'll give it 10 minutes" I thought ..... watched the whole thing. Very low key, intelligent, funny at times, nicely acted reel of film.

Howard Duff suprisingly good as a "classy" pathological liar. Barry Fitzgerald fit his role perfectly - didn't have to "act", just played himself and it worked well.

Would not do well in theaters today because it is clearly vintage script and direction, but take it for what it is and .... pow !

When you wake up (as I did this morning) with "Hang on Sloopy" playing in your head, you know it's gonna be a great day.
