This morning I went to the movies (with Patti and Lisa) 

and enjoyed Moonrise Kingdom. 

 Judging from all the laughter, so did the rest of the audience. The story takes place in September of 1965, and it was fun to 'recognize' items from that era. (Three years later, I worked the college dorm switchboard, with the same plug set up.)

The other day Alex caught a baby quail (which did not really want to have his picture taken - he just wanted to rejoin Mom & Dad and the rest of the babies.)  Just now, taking out the trash, Alex caught a small gecko who was a tad more cooperative about having his picture taken before being let go.  What is it about tiny things that makes them so cute???

Am halfway through the 4th set of blocks for the quilt, and also planted some aloe into my turtle cache pot.  Don't expect to get much else done today.

(Apologize for the dirty table.... blame the monsoons!)
