No Riding Wednesday

No horseback riding today -- Betsy is sick. I thought I would take it easy until my MRI on Saturday. Not sure my leg would hold me if I mounted the horse. Instead, I spent the early morning working in the office and later making beads in the "bead shop," formerly called "the shop."

Movie Tuesday

Today we saw Labor Day with Josh Brolin and Kate Winslet. Although the story involved an escaped murderer, it was actually a charming love story. I think we all liked it.

In Memoriam

We lost 50-50 today. She was about 19 years old, I think. For the last couple of years, 50-50 has been my sweet companion, always by my side sitting on the sofa or even sleeping in our bed. She was so sweet and cuddly. Her presence will be missed. 

50-50

We think 50-50 may have had a stroke. She has trouble moving her back legs and seems to want only to sleep....more than usual. If I put her in front of her water, she will drink, but she doesn't have any interest in her food. I moved her water from the counter to the floor so she can get to it if she wants. Very sad.

Movie Tuesday

Our movie choice for this Movie Tuesday was Jack Ryan, Shadow Recruit. I am a fan of Tom Clancy's movies with protagonist Jack Ryan so I was hopeful that this would be a good movie. Also, Kevin Costner was in it, so how bad could it be? It wasn't that bad...or that good. I think it wasn't very clear whether this Jack Ryan was son of the original or an early version. I kept thinking they would mention father Jack Ryan, but it never happened, so I guess it was an earlier version. Otherwise, it was fairly predictable but I did like Kevin Costner. I only ate half my popcorn.

I Play with Fire

When I returned from getting my teeth cleaned this morning, I went into the "bead shop" to make some beads before my class tonight. I made quire a few with dots on them: red with white dots and the reverse. Keep in mind, I am just learning so all my beads are crappy.

Wrapping Station

I was so tired of looking for a space to spread out wrapping paper when I need to wrap something and search for the tape, ribbon, etc., so I bought this wrapping station:
