While looking for a movie for the HH to watch tonight, Groundhog Day with Bill Murray popped up on Netflix. We haven’t seen the movie in years {it was made in 1993 after all!}. I think I’ll put together a big platter of pickety bits, build a fire in the wood stove and settle in for a cozy evening at home. With temps hovering around 50 tonight, I think it’s the perfect pick for a fall movie night {even though technically, the movie takes place in February}. 😉

His character is so cranky, I can’t help but love him!

Let me know what you think if you decide to watch it–or if you have already seen it.

Peace out Girl Scouts & have yourself a great weekend,

Friday Night at the Movies – A Promise

A few nights ago I watched A Promise on Netflix and loved it so much that I watched it a second time while I was working on one of my hooked rugs. Amazon describes the film as a “Simmering early 20th-century love story about a triangle between an aging factory owner, his young bride and his handsome protégé.”

Although I wish the ending would have been a little more dramatic, I really enjoyed the film. But then again, I seem to like all those European love stories. 😉

Friday Night at the Movies – The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Last week when I posted about The Glass Castle, One Hundred Dollars a Month reader Stephanie, left a comment saying I need to check out the The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society which is currently on Netflix and let me tell you Bob, I am SO GLAD that I did!

A year or two ago I tried reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and could not get into it. And then a few months ago {because people kept going on and on about the book} I tried listening to The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society on audio book. But that time around it was the narrator’s voice that turned me off and I stopped listening to the audio book after about 30 minutes.

So when Stephanie mentioned the movie was available on Netflix, I decided to give it a THIRD and final try. Well now, the movie, was totally delightful! So much so that my husband ended up watching it with me {and he even pointed out that four of the characters in the movie were from Downton Abbey!}.

So, if you are looking for something to watch this weekend and you have Netflix, whip up a platter of pickety bits and settle in for a delightful movie. It’s totally worth your time.

Let me know what you think if you decide to watch it–or if you have already seen it.

Peace out Girl Scouts & have yourself a great weekend,

Friday Night at the Movies – The Glass Castle

While I was working on my rugs a few nights ago The Glass Castle came up in my included with Prime movies on Amazon and I totally freaked out and hit the play button immediately.

I can’t remember when I first read The Glass Castle but I do remember reading it cover to cover in less than two days…. and then reading it again just in case I missed anything the first time around. Author Jeanette Walls’ story about growing up in her totally eccentric and dysfunctional family was too good to put down, it was that fascinating.

In my opinion, the book is better than the movie, {which is almost ALWAYS the case!} BUT I thought the movie was very well made and the acting was spot on and totally recommend watching it. In fact, I might even watch it a second time. 😉

Let me know what you think if you decide to watch it–or if you have already seen it.

Peace out Girl Scouts & have yourself a great weekend,
