The Chattering Crow: Yellow for Chantel in Berlin

Yellow for Chantel in Berlin

I read on Erica's blog that Chantel needs something yellow. I don't know why, but here is my contribution.

On the beautiful women of film front, I wish to put forth Olivia Wilde, who plays number 13 on HOUSE. You may be right, Theo, that I favor older movie stars to younger ones. I'm not giving this anymore time or space, because I''m now bored with the whole subject.

We went to a Presidents' Day dinner at church tonight. It was fabulous. Beautifully displayed, wonderful food and great friends. I liked that they had a kids' table that offered hot dogs and homemade mac and cheese. Peggy and Billie Ann made the dinner. I would have a nervous breakdown if someone asked me to make dinner for a couple of hundred people, but I love people who cook. I LOVE people who cook. Kiss all cooks.

All that yellowness=bliss. Thanks for the pictures.

The dinner last night was fab. And hearing you laugh over there at the other table made it all that much happier.

I was reading this next to Louis, in his high chair coloring Thomas the Train, and he pointed to your picture and said, "Hey, that's my friend! That's Grandma!"
