Hi Mavis,
Thank you for the recommendation of The Durrells in Corfu, looks right up my alley.
Deborah says
We’ve watched The Patriot several times. It’s an awesome movie.
Today I’m planning on cleaning and organizing my junky craft room. It also holds our pantry storage, too. It’s a mess right now.
Lita says
Mavis- have you watched PBS Masterpiece’s Sanditon yet? It is Jane Austen’s last and unfinished novel. I highly recommend it!
Diane says
Happy Mother’s Day to all!
That happens to be the best photo of Lucy. Caption: Good Grief, it’s snowing in May!
Heather says
Happy Mother’s Day. Do you have a running list of your recommended movie? We are starting to get into watching movies on Netflix. I need to remember to check out Amazon Prime.
Lynda says
The Patriot was so bad we walked out after a bout 10 minutes! Only the second movie I walked out on..first was “ My Dinner With Andre”….!
judy says
Hi Mavis, Happy Mothers Day to you and everyone else out there. I would like to suggest a movie series on amazon prime,,Vanity Faire. It,s awsome!!!!! Maybe you could check it out. I’m surprised that the last person did not like the patriot. I have watched it many times and loved it every time. Oh well. Hope everyone has a great weekend.
judy says
Happy Mothers Day to all.. I would like to recommend Vanity Fare on Amazon Prime. It was awsome. Even my manly husband enjoyed the whole series. I also think that the Patriot is a movie I could watch a million times. Just like Braveheart. Good Day to All.
Sue says
That picture of Lucy is a winner.
It’s very chilly here in Alabama also.
Wishing you the best Mothers Day.
Thank you so much for the best birthday surprise ever, May 3.
I waited to open the package wanted my granddaughter to see, she loves St George
Island as much as I do. They loved visiting Maine last summer.
Juli says
Hi Mavis
What color/ brand of grey paint are you using in this photo? I’ve been looking for a grey that looks good in a room with lots of light but I’m having a hard time finding the right shade. Yours looks great!
Mavis Butterfield says
Unfortunately I don’t have a grey color to recommend, as the original wall color was a lilac color {what you see}. I painted the room white.
Gina says
Happy Mother’s Day! We watched the Patriot last night.
