Cruising down the river in the Adventureland Park. Some of the scenarios made me wonder if this really was a park designed for children. 🙂 More than a little scary, also funny, like the people who have climbed the tree to escape the rhinoceros. But don’t those snakes look real?
The Pope has died and a new one must be appointed. Father Lawrence has been given the task to organize the conclave and call in the cardinals to make the decision. Ralph Fienes is at his best in this story about the secret process in the Catholic Church of gaining support for the next leader of the church. He is busy corralling, herding, organizing, and sourcing out the scandals that continue to erupt about the various men who wish to be elected.
The ending is a total surprise, catching most of the audience unawares, but the winner of the vote for Pope chooses the name Innocent, so take that as your clue. It was a good movie. I enjoyed it.
We made a trip to Disneyland, Anaheim, a few weeks ago. It was so much fun, and totally exhausting, right? Here are some pictures from Star Wars, Galaxy’s Edge.
Have you ever been there? It is an amazing place, so much imagination and art work combined.
Come out and say hello. I look forward to meeting you.
I’ll be there with my books. Hope to see you there.

I made a big batch of squash soup today. It is just cooling now so I can put it in containers and freeze it.
Two years ago, I bought three acorn squash plants from a local market. However, when the squash appeared, they weren’t acorn squash. Last year I bought plants from a roadside stand along a country road. But when the squash appeared, they weren’t acorn squash. This year I bought three plants from a garden shop. Thankfully, they turned out to be acorn squash. I have a ton of them.
You wonder why I insist on acorn and don’t use a different squash for the soup. But the acorn squash has it’s own flavour. The recipe I use is from the Butchart Gardens website and everyone who eats it loves it.
What did you get from your garden this year?
