Gentlemen and Players and the subtle art of gaslighting

At book club last night I mentioned that J. Snyde was gaslighting Roy Straitley. My reference was pretty obscure so I looked it up in Wikipedia today and here's their definition:


Gaslighting, a form of psychological abuse coined as a reference to two similar films of the same name:
Gaslight (1940 film), directed by Thorold Dickinson and starring Diana Wynyard, Anton Walbrook, and Frank Pettingell
Gaslight (1944 film), directed by George Cukor and starring Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer
Gas Light (1938) the Patrick Hamilton stage play upon which the films were based.

We all really enjoyed this book by Joanne Harris. I wonder how it would translate into a movie - it would be pretty hard to keep the secret going until the very end.

Color

Looking at paint and thinking about what colors to choose for new rooms - leaning toward yellow for family room and kitchen, pear green for bathroom and some sort of blue for the bedroom. Hallway - bright or white. I like the idea of chalk paint, too. Maybe that would be good on laundry room wall.

Grease - The School Version

Here are Hannah and Katy in Grease garb. Hannah's lovely skirt was made by the gifted and talented Lois S. Thanks, again, Lois.

All the kids put so much work into these school plays. Mrs. B. is a taskmaster and she gets results.

A friend sent me this link so I thought I would share it. What a time to be without a kitchen!

I am frustrated - nothing I do makes this a link. If you would like to visit this site go to www.northpole.com and look for Mrs. Claus' kitchen.
