Harvey has to shoo her away! We put the poor thing out last night in order to watch <i>Homeland</i>. Good episode, I thought. Really hate the Javardi character. Enjoyed seeing John Noble of <i>Fringe</i> on <i>The Good Wife</i>. He should have received an Emmy, previously.

Though, I thought about half way through that I wasn't going to get it all without help--not a Monday event usually.<br /><br />Baseball Tonight is not one of my programs, so had to get the spanner with perps. Argyle, loved the Diamond Head picture. It truly is a beautiful scene.<br /><br />Eskimo Pies were a favorite of mine. <br /><br />JD, I also have one of those miniature hope chests. Mine holds handkerchiefs. Does anyone use a cloth hanky anymore? <br /><br />Off to do some shopping. Cyber Monday has made my internet really slow down.
