Movies and Rocks - My Life!

Have been in a nostalgic, European mood lately. Outwardly, this has shown itself with my choice of movies.  For the first time viewed Cinema Paradiso about a small Italian boy in the 40's who learned the mechanics of the protectionist. Such an excellent film!! Loved it and it even brought a tear to my eye. 


The next film was The Red Balloon, which I'm sure all of us watched in grade school, along with Nanook of the North. Sweet little French boy and the loyal red balloon who befriended him.  Inspired me to paint a Red Balloon rock.




Decided to Google what happened to Pascal Lamorisse, the little boy with the red balloon.  Here's a 1956 pic along with a more recent pic. Guess I forgot what 65 years can do to a person!!



Facebook rock club had a raffle give away and I was one of the winners of a fancy painted rock. Met up with some of the members today where they delivered to me a prize rock, an extra painted rock, and a blank Santorini white marble rock to paint. 


Received and started using my new CPAP machine last Wednesday.  First night it wasn't tight enough so leaked air. Since the second night it has been awesome. No waking up in the middle of the night, waking up prior to the alarm, and I'm pretty sure there has been no snoring.  This Darth Vadar comtraption may actually be a good thing!
