Halloween with Hitchcock

It's gotten chilly down here in the lowcountry
The puppies and I are bundled up
and watching Hitchcock movies on Netflix

When I was a teenager my family always had a girls week 
in Myrtle Beach
**Lakewood Campgrounds is the best**
It ended up being a rainy cold week in South Carolina
We ended up spending our evenings
all the cousins piled on top of each other in the living room
watching Hitchcock movies
getting the wits scared out of us 


I was pleasantly surprised to find that Netflix has a great selection
of Hitchcock films on their streaming service
so here we are

**I'm saving Rear Window for last**

100 books in a year: week 1

In this first week of reading I read three books
*97 to go*

1. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
2. The Girl Who Played With Fire
3. The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest

the Lisbeth Salander series by Stieg Larsson



I really enjoyed these books
but be warned they contain serious subjects and violence
they don't really make you want to hop on the next flight to Sweden

I'm doomed.
One little slip like that could cause the Great Pumpkin to pass you by.
 Oh, Great Pumpkin, where are you?
-Linus

Don't forget to set your DVR's 

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
comes on TV tonight!

I love to read
but sometimes I will go a long time without picking up a book
and then I'll have times where I just read voraciously

I am setting a goal today
(nothing special about october 21st)
and am going to read
*atleast*
100 books
in the next 365 days

Our lovely bridge





this is technically under the bridge on the fishing pier
where the boyfriend 
*almost*
caught some dinner
