Movies.....Fences.....and Chickens.....

We just watched a really good movie that I would strongly recommend. It stars Michael Douglas..."Beyond a Reasonable Doubt". Douglas plays a D.A. who this reporter guy suspects is making up evidence in order to get convictions. He decides to frame himself in a murder case in order to prove it. And everything starts going wrong and his girlfriend, the assistant D.A., is trying to help prove his innocence....and just when you think you have it all figured out, there's a twist. Good movie!

We decided to take down the old dilapidated wood fence that is in front of our walkway and front door. It's been there for probably 40 years and it's rotting away. Hubby has parts of it held together with wire and there are years of paint peeling off it. I suggested a new paint job and more wire and maybe even some duct tape, but hubby thought it might be better to just take it down and replace it with a new vinyl one. Next to the fence on the one side there's an old overgrown bush that was helping keep the fence up, I think....gave the fence something to lean on in it's old age. So hubby cut the bush down...and the fence basically just fell over. So hubby got the rest of it down today and it looks a little bare now, but we have the new fence ordered and it'll be up before ya know it. There were about 3 sections of fence and I put it on Craigslist in the FREE section and we had alot of people calling to come take it away for us. It was gone by the end of the day. People will take anything if it's free.

I tried to sell my old computer chair on Craigslist for a lousy $20....I listed it at least 3 times and couldn't sell it. Hubby set it out at the end of our driveway with a FREE sign and it was gone....Guess "cheap" isn't good enough..."Free" is the keyword nowadays.

I've been hitting alot of estate sales this weekend. I bought a bunch of chickens. Some lady apparently was a major chicken collector. And she had these pretty good-size chicken statues in her kitchen...like a foot tall or so. There were six of them that size and I thought they would look really good in my mum flower garden at the cottage in Caseville.....so I bought all of them. I went the day they were half price so it wasn't a bad deal. She had tons more smaller ones, but I wanted the big ones for my garden. My neighbor has one metal chicken in her garden, so my chickens will show her chicken who's the boss!...haha

Another good movie to watch that I saw last night is an older movie (1996) with Anna Paquin (no relation, I don't think...cause that's my maiden name), and Jeff Bridges called "Fly Away Home"....a cute movie about these orphan goslings that think that she's their mama goose, and she and her dad are trying to show them a way to migrate in the Fall.

Note: Anna Paquin is from Canada and that's where my relatives are also from, so who knows???.....
