Following Orders

[Lady Christina de Pond]

doing great work as long as i eat street food i am well i eat fancy food i get sick last time spent all day in the bed. my little charges have been sick this week and some have been misbehaving. Tomorrow i am short on duties because of the holiday

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

Have them get well soon. Tell them were are watching them!

1st disc of Ivanhoe is in the books and I LOVE IT!    Very well done and I am enamored at how many quality actors I recognize from other great films!  They all look so young and ruthless!  Good stuff!    Can't wait for disc 2 to arrive. 

Tomorrow we have elected to beat the heat and have a KoH 4th!   We are going to lay around in our silks and eat dates and watch the film again!    Then biff each other up side the head "so we don't forget it"!!

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

Glad to hear you liked it! Now the good part is getting ready to start!

Enter: Lucas de Beaumanoir (DVD Disk #2), and PRAY!

[amy]

Whadaya mean???    That wasn't the good part?

And today has been a wonderful and relaxing day... started with ARN... then KoH... then The Last Centurion.    And still time to rewatch 1st half of Ivanhoe...     (plus sent message to nephew in middle east...    so proud)

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

Sounds like a good day indeed!

Your nephew...what service, what career field?

[amy]

Army... 1st in our family in that branch.  Previously we were all Marines and Navy. And I am ashamed to say I am not sure what his job is this time.  Previously he was a tank driver and did mechanics, but this tour I'm not sure if that is the same.  He says he sits around bored alot... I am absurdly grateful for that!

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

Army... 1st in our family in that branch. 

Aaaahhhh, someone who saw the "light". 

You must thank him on behalf of all of us here for his service, no matter how boring it might seem at times. 

[Sir Ironhead]

Boring is good.  Means no one is shooting at you.

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

Boring is good.  Means no one is shooting at you.

Welcome back to the thread Brother. I should make a joke here about a 19 series saying that, but 11,12, 13, 19......they're all gravel aggitators in the current fight!

[amy]

Agreed!  Bored is PERFECT!!    He has some computer access so we get to check in and commiserate with him.   Back to Germany next month I believe...  So far so good.     I will pass along your kind words.

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

Disk II hasn't arrived yet? What powers of sorcery is this? 

[amy]

Fret not...   Twas merely my negligence in getting disc 1 back in the box...   Disc 2 expected Thursday..  So this weekend will be the triumphant finale!

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

 

[amy]

Yikes.     I haven't watched it all yet.. this is a LONG movie!   But I love it!

And I am so crushin on Brian.   ahhhhh
