My foster granddaughter and I had fun looking at ornaments yesterday and picking out one for her dog, one for the baby to come and a couple for her. She wanted a Santa hat, and it looked adorable on her red hair. Needless to say, we are in the holiday mood. We sang Christmas carols all the way home. Her mother is absolutely glowing in her pregnancy, and her happiness has radiated out to us all. What a delight it is to share in such joy.
Maybe that was why I was up for seeing the old movie "On the Beach", and managed to enjoy the acting and the fact that it is as pertinent today as it was then. But I had a rough night sleeping, so I believe it did disturb me. Boy, was Ava Gardner gorgeous. No one else has ever looked like her. And Gregory Peck wasn't too shabby either, before he got so craggy. And it was nice to see Antony Perkins in a role where he wasn't neurotic or worse. But perhaps the next movie I watch will be a tad more upbeat.
