Saturday, Farewell, The Good Fairy, and Blue Moon

Nora went home today. It was so nice to visit with her… it seemed weirdly sudden when we dropped her off at the airport. Later at home Ezra was saying that he was about to ask me when Nora would be back from whatever she was doing, and then realized that she’d gone home!

Her parents came by last night, too. It was really nice to see them. I last saw them at Nora’s wedding, and before that I hadn’t seen them for probably close to ten years.

So there were a few rough hours this afternoon after Nora left. It was hot and stuffy in the apartment. I felt wiped out. The Red Sox were on tv, but they were on Fox. At least flippin’ Joe Buck wasn’t on. They started out winning, but ended up losing in another miserable turn of baseball events. Finally it has cooled down a bit tonight.

Ezra and I made yummy empanaditas for dinner… so delicious… hot veggie food with cilantro and mexican spices and raisins–ah so good! Then we watched some UB Iwerks cartoons, followed by a favorite Moonlighting episode, The Murder’s in the Mail. It’s the “man with a mole on his nose” episode. It’s been fabulous for me watching the old episodes. I can’t believe I was only ten when the pilot episode aired.

Maddie: “What are you doing?”
David: “Nothing. I’ve been clean for years.”

Now we’re going to watch the end of The Good Fairy (1935) with Margaret Sullavan (love her), Herbert Marshall, Frank Morgan (yes, the wizard), Beulah Bondi (Ma Bailey), Alan Hale (the skipper!), and Cesar Romero. We watched the first half the other night… it’s good, as I expected it would be.

    You never hear about Herbert Marshall, and he was fantastic in both this and the awesome, awesome Trouble In Paradise.
