I should say my daughter and I - I didn’t make her do all this herself! Lol
My daughter made our Thanksgiving meal, ate it, and did the dishes all in an hour.
That’s how I like it!

Because it's #Noirvember, of course I had to buy a #filmnoir on DVD to add to my collection! I went with THE BLUE DAHLIA. #TCMparty

I made the mistake of checking 1950s-60s brooches on Ebay and am now in trouble... #PillowTalk #TCMParty
We need to go back to wearing beautiful brooches! I love the snowflake-style brooch Doris is wearing in this scene at the Connecticut cabin. #PillowTalk #TCMParty

It's even more special to watch #PillowTalk and know that Doris Day and Rock Hudson were such wonderful friends. #TCMParty
