I'm in Southampton, a quaint little town that hasn't generally been a magnet for film production companies, unlike the famous Northampton. A few bits of Virginia Woolf were shot in our local pub in the 60's - that was a big deal - but I think it was '98 when Annette Benning and others were on my street working on a film whose title became In Dreams. There is a house down the street known to locals as the Swasey Mansion, and it is lovely. (My parents had the opportunity to buy it back in '46, but they chose instead the more affordable farm house I now own.) The mansion appealed to the movie people, so they set up all those trailers and tents and what-all for filming there. It really tangled up the street, so as an appeasement gesture, the movie people allowed the neighbors unlimited use of the catering bus. Wow, production people are well fed! I felt I'd earned a few meals by being a good neighbor. It was at one of those that I found myself sitting opposite the star, A. Benning, who I did not recognize until somebody whispered in my ear. She was studying some lines, so I figured it was best not to disturb her.<br /><br />My neighbors saw the finished movie a year or so later, and their review was so poor that I never bothered to see it.Dudleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07587399549104728305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-77162031885668256912010-06-23T23:41:45.214-05:002010-06-23T23:41:45.214-05:00I noticed a couple related clues that haven't ...I noticed a couple related clues that haven't been mentioned yet:<br />- The echo of Inc. in 1D & 8D<br />- 41A & 41D - PEER and PAIR<br />- A wintry couple in 13D & 23D SLEDS and NOEL<br />- 11A & 30D Dirt and SOIL (Landscaper's supply)<br /><br />Youngest of 5 girls here. Also, my uncle's sons haven't had children, so to the best of my knowledge, I'm the last of the family line. The middle sister speaks of being ignored too.<br /><br />I was watching a cooking show the other day and the recipe started with "2 cans of mouth-watering spam". She raved about it as though it were pâté.<br /><br />Carol, I thought it was BOOGIEMAN, so I googled it and saw that there are several variants. Your's is valid too!<br /><br />Argyle, it's not quite the "cream dispenser" I was thinking of, but propriety prevents me from posting a photo of that one...

I knew it wasn't correct, so went Googling to find the answers to the last few clues.<br /><br />My hand is up for ired and I been had. I thought I was wrong when parts of that answer finally came up. It was part of that SE corner that gave me trouble.<br /><br />CA, I laughed out loud at your middle sister comment. My middle daughter has often felt that she was ignored growing up. I didn't think so, but she did.<br /><br />Gunghy, I'm glad that your Dad is doing ok. <br /><br />BSA for Jamboree was a given. I found my BIL's letters to his parents, (and a journal he kept) when he attended the Scout Jamboree in Gettsburg in the late 40's or early 50's. After he passed away we saved those young 14year old boy's letters as they were a look at history, and into his personality at the time. He met Eisenhower that year and was thrilled.<br /><br />We had a special election here in our area yesterday. So I worked on the election board again. A long day and I'm tired today. I did the puzzle yesterday in between voters. It was done very quickly.<br /><br />Dodo, yes, I feel like I've been given a gift having our marriage reach year 56.

At that time they told him he was good for about 5 more years and there could be no third time. Unfortunately, at about the time they said his heart would quit, his memory started to go. The sad thing is, he's still quite sharp, he just can't remember anything for more than 5 minutes.

Of course, I'm second, so I'm reacting to my older sister. Strangely, my younger brother seems to behave more like a youngest than the youngest, my favorite sis.<br /><br />I can match only stories.

The Medicos like to keep a person motionless for about 24 hours after a wire change, so he's there overnight. I haven't seen him yet, (he was still out of it when I tried) but he's very forgetful and probably calling a nurse every 5 minutes to ask when I'm coming to get him.<br /><br />So, this time I'm truly off to see him.Gunghyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01505285217105843307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-76205267530458744742010-06-23T19:51:15.456-05:002010-06-23T19:51:15.456-05:00Seen.....I know, ;o)Seen.....I know, ;o)Clear Ayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14463641770718104835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-58651087500688266702010-06-23T19:50:34.708-05:002010-06-23T19:50:34.708-05:00seen, do keep it to 'just this once'.
