Happy All Saints Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                            Today, darlings, is the Feast Of All Saints, and I went to 9AM mass this morning.  My you know what is dragging now, so I don't know how this post will go.

                              This day is to honor those who did things for us selflessly.  Not only those saints we may be named after, but our favorites--like mine, which are Bernadette, St. Jude, and The Fatima Children--Lucia dos Santos, Francisco Martos, and the holiest of them all, Jacinta Martos!  What that child suffered for us, darlings, I am telling you!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                 And not to forget the living saints who walk among us unrecognized, except by those who know.  Like my David, and, of course, Sister Camille D'Arienzo.

                                    How about those who have gone, like my parents, grandparents, and friends?

                                  Did you feel the presence of the saints at your service, like above?  I sure did, darlings, though I was not quite awake.

                                    What a divine way to kick off November, loves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Darlings, Can You Believe It????????? We Are In The 11th Month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                            And almost the eleventh hour of the year, as the clock ticks relentlessly.

                           This month is filled with events galore, not to mention my birthday, which is a milestone one, which I will not share until said day.

                             Sunday, which is Anna Wintour's birthday--ANNA!!!!!!!!!!--we are headed to an Italian restaurant in Orange, NJ to celebrate the birthday--which is actually next day, the fourth--of my friend, Tom.  It will be nice to see all the members of what I call the Bloomfield group!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                               Then, on the 5th, there is. Election Day.  Enough said.  Pray, people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                From the thirteenth to the eighteenth, which is my before, we have Musical Theater Week, honoring a galaxy of my favorite Legends Of The Musical Stage!  Just when do I get to be one of them?????????????????

                                 "Svengoolie" is showing two gems this month--the Boris Karloff 1932 classic, "The Mummy," to kick off the month, and the 1958 film, "The Crawling Eye,' which, girls, is a hoot, and deserves a second viewing.  It ends the month.  In between--not so great! And if you have never seen it--oh, my God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                   Of course, today we kick off with All Saints Day--more on that later--and the final Thursday this month is Thanksgiving.  And the 26th would have been my parents 77th Wedding Anniversary.  Alas, they had only 32 years.  But what years!  And rounded out by me, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                     So, November is an exciting month at these quarters.  May it bring the best, and then before you know it, time for "The 100 Most Notable Books Of 'The New York Times'," and "The Ten Best Books Of 2024," from "The New York Times."  Not to mention my Top Five In Fiction this year.

                                        All should be a hoot, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
