If you need something entertaining to watch tonight, try this…
Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot S03E01 – “The Mysterious Affair at Styles” [full episode length: 1:47:37]
I thought I’d seen every TV episode and watched every movie ever created, but I don’t remember this one, though I do recall seeing the name before. Anyway, it is excellent from every aspect.

I’ll have to watch this! I too am an Agatha Christie fan. It’s much better quality than 98% of what’s on the TV that I don’t watch much anymore. Thanks for posting this 🙂

There is a whole channel on YouTube filled with Poirot and a few Miss Marple. Some of the titles are in Spanish, but the audio is English.

I like Joan Hickson, but I think I prefer Geraldine McEwan. It may be because I like the production of the versions she appears in. Murder at the Vicarage is a good example.

The channel you posted from – BritTV – also has many of the Christie productions.

Yes, some of the YouTube channels where I watched Hercule Poirot previously are no longer on YT. So a new crop of proprietors is bringing the episodes to us again. BritTV joined Jul 22, 2020 and is out of Norway.

Good morning, WeeWeed! And the Dems will try the spike strip deterrent. If that doesn’t stop the car, then shoving it off the freeway is the next step.
Hope there will be more Boats For Trump peaceful protests to give us a boost in these days leading up to the win for our man.

mornin all. I’m really missing my little family now. But, I do have Facetime now and I can reach them and see them any time. I am going to try to rest up some more. Too much traveling in the last three months. But, there is so much that needs to be put back in place because I let it go. So, I do plan to get a few of those things, like laundry, done.

Mornin USMom 🙂 I wondered how you kept up with all that travel??? It makes me exhausted too, and it must be twice as tiring wearing a mask on a plane with already lousy air quality. Yes – Rest and straighten things out at home. You’ll definitely feel better! Be gentle with yourself 😉

Beautiful pictures Of Scotland Stella. I wonder how they came up with such an almost magical name – the isle of Skye? That doggie must be well trained to sit for a picture, they are such an active breed!
To continue with our autumn theme here is the fruit of the vine’s fall harvest, some Moet & Chandon champagne – the poster by Mucha:

We’ve seen much evidence that leftie souls are sold to the devil. It doesn’t matter in the least to them that innocent people get hurt and destroyed.
The most amazing thing is that the Left has enslaved themselves and don’t even know it. You’d think that people wouldn’t willingly become slaves. But their discernment is so poor or non-existent they simply do not see their beliefs and actions are a trap and that it can affect generations of their families…and they are happy about it!

That must have been lovely to live among such a beautiful setting. Sometimes when looking at photos, the image is enjoyable. But then when it’s enlarged, the scene is breathtaking. Those moments make me think of the lyrics of “For the Beauty of the Earth”…
For the beauty of each hour
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flower,
Sun and moon and stars of light:
Christ, our God, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful Praise.
Glad you enjoy the finds.

Before I visited my family, my DIL had told me the oldest Granddaughter was reading. I was suitably impressed but, not prepared. Well, to say I was surprised when I first heard her is not correct. I was gobsmacked. She can read anything at all. I believe the books are at at least a 6th grade level. She reads to her little sister before they go to bed. Not sounding the words out, but reading with smoothness and emotions. She reads better than most adults I have heard. She just turned 5. And, her mother said she did this pretty much on her own. They were working on phonics and suddenly she was reading everything, like in 6 months. Homeschooling does work. 🙂
Of course, I am not sure that she is up to reading the Encyclopedia Britannica yet………..but let’s give her another 6 months. LOL

My daughter started reading like that at the age of 5 also! I taught her at home and it was as if one day a big switch turned on and she went from sounding out words to reading fluently. And she COULD read from the encyclopedia! Have your granddaughter try it.
When she entered 1st grade they put her in a 3rd grade reading group. She hated that!

In our case, she was in a private Baptist school until 8th grade. I wish I had kept her in private school, but I couldn’t afford to.

The Baptist school probably made all the difference in her early years. My son went into public school in the. 11th grade for a lot of reasons. One was that he wanted to go to Annapolis and it was very hard to get into from homeschooling at the time.

My mother taught Kindergarten for 40 years, and she could teach even 3-4 yeast olds to read if they wanted to learn. Her system was so good the elementry schools her children moved up to had to go ungraded for the first 3 years because her graduates were so much better readers than those from other kindergartens!

I think desire plays a large part. I read to my daughter every day since the day she was born, and she wanted to be able to read herself very much. She’s an avid reader to this day!
