Sorry no river pictures today. Yesterday, I did manage to see three new old movies with Lionel Atwill in supporting roles. The leads were some of my favorite actors so it worked out well. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a film from the Dr. Kildare series before. In this one, Lionel Barrymore read more

Yesterday it was Alton, Illinois whose claim to fame seems to be as the hometown of Robert Wadlow, world’s tallest man. I preferred the Audubon Center. As a robin, cardinal, and ruby-throated hummingbird. No big deal to some but we don’t get any of these species where I live. I’d give read more
