oh ok. dont know that one. sounds familiar though... 🤔 sleep well!
Thanks. It's a Disney movie from 1961. In the picture it looks like there's some color, but it's actually black and white.
 
Oops one more post. Kent tells me this is a fort not a tent. He just the right age for the movie we watched. He told me it was "Cool, and funny." The older kids thought it was funny, but not especially cool. Kent said, " Wouldn't it be cool if we had a flying Model T." I told him that it could be any car and he switched to a van, so the whole family could go. Someone else immediately suggested a double decker bus.

Ugh. I feel awful. Family's had a stomach bug moving through. Lots of emesis. My plans to work on the chicken coop were on hold today because standing up makes it feel worse.
I hope all of you feels better soon, hugs
 
@BubblesandSqueak, do you not get those red bugs on your lillies? Mine do and the plants get absolutely destroyed. I tried my best to hide it in the photo, but pretty much all the leaves on the plants are gone, with these brown blobs (that are disgusting) that are the larvae of the bugs.

Good morning Smorg nerds! Well since no one asked, after hours in surgery my left index finger was successfully reattached! I think I’m going to stick with sparklers next year but don’t worry, I’m going to heavily research which end to hold. 😉

I’m completely honored to have a town named after my family right here in the Buckeye State. Luis, when you move your family up to Sandusky you’ll be right by Gibsonburg. 😉

Looks like everyone is sleeping it off this morning...
I wanted to sleep the morning today, but wanting to is one thing, and what happened is another lol. I also fell asleep early last night.
