It's November! Holy smokes - how did that happen so fast?!? Glad you're here to welcome in the month and to read my Five on Friday post. Let's get right to it ~
1. Time Change Weekend
Who's ready for an extra hour this weekend? I'm all for it! Remember, this is the weekend to set your clocks back by one hour. Technically, clocks should be set back at 2:00 a.m. early Sunday morning, but we usually adjust them on Saturday night before heading to bed. What are you going to do with your extra hour? Whether it’s sleeping in, reading a book, or pampering yourself, make the most of your time!
2. Here
Tom Hanks and Robin Wright reunite in the new movie Here, and I couldn’t be more excited! First off, it’s Tom Hanks—does he ever make a bad movie? And then there’s Robin Wright. I loved her in Forrest Gump, so I can’t wait to see her in this role. Here’s a quick summary ~
Reuniting the director, writer and stars of Forrest Gump, Here is an original film about multiple families and a special place they inhabit. The story travels through generations, capturing the most relatable of human experiences. Zemeckis (Forrest Gump, Castaway, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Contact, Back to the Future) directs from a screenplay by Eric Roth (Forrest Gump, Killers of the Flower Moon, Dune, A Star is Born) and him. Told much in the style of the acclaimed graphic novel by Richard McGuire on which it is based, Tom Hanks and Robin Wright star in a tale of love, loss, laughter and life, all of which happen right Here.
It doesn't matter how hard I try, we still end up with mildew in the corners of our shower. I usually have Eric strip away all the caulk and start over. But now I've found a new solution! After seeing several ads for this MXY Arbor House gel, I purchased a tube from Amazon. I was amazed at what a great job it did! The label says to leave it on for 10-15 hours, so I put it on after we showered in the morning. By the afternoon, my shower was completely mildew free! This product is definitely becoming a household staple!
Are you a reader of the Chief Inspector Gamache series? Well, book number 19 was released this week! Here's the summary ~
Relentless phone calls interrupt the peace of a warm August morning in Three Pines. Though the tiny Québec village is impossible to find on any map, someone has managed to track down Armand Gamache, head of homicide at the Sûreté, as he sits with his wife in their back garden. Reine-Marie watches with increasing unease as her husband refuses to pick up, though he clearly knows who is on the other end. When he finally answers, his rage shatters the calm of their quiet Sunday morning.
That's only the first in a sequence of strange events that begin THE GREY WOLF, the nineteenth novel in Louise Penny's #1 New York Times-bestselling series. A missing coat, an intruder alarm, a note for Gamache reading "this might interest you", a puzzling scrap of paper with a mysterious list—and then a murder. All propel Chief Inspector Gamache and his team toward a terrible realization. Something much more sinister than any one murder or any one case is fast approaching.
Armand Gamache, Jean-Guy Beauvoir, his son-in-law and second in command, and Inspector Isabelle Lacoste can only trust each other, as old friends begin to act like enemies, and long-time enemies appear to be friends. Determined to track down the threat before it becomes a reality, their pursuit takes them across Québec and across borders. Their hunt grows increasingly desperate, even frantic, as the enormity of the creature they’re chasing becomes clear. If they fail the devastating consequences would reach into the largest of cities and the smallest of villages.
Including Three Pines.
5. Think about it...
Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy your extra hour! The weather here on Saturday looks perfect for hiking so I'm hoping we can make that happen. It's supposed to rain here on Sunday so I'll save our inside chores for then. See you next week!
