We took the boys to the Barbie movie today. It was hilarious! You probably need to have grown up with Barbie in your house to get some of the references. Our kids have not, I’m sad to say - so they missed a lot. All the Patriarchy stuff would have gone right over their heads, also. Hopefully, that word is now in their lexicons though.

They claim it was a good movie, so it obviously still worked at their level. My wife and I had a blast laughing at it though. Great family fun.

I loved it too, lots of references for a wide range of age groups (although I’d like to think Millenials get it the most!) - it was great fun, though quite emotional for me near the end with Barbie and Ruth.

I just need to say, the latest episode of Lower Decks was just brilliant. I think it could be one of my favorite shows at this point.

And just like that literally overnight a Watsonia appeared.

That is a few weeks early.

It waited until after the wedding, so it wouldn’t get picked and used in the floral arrangements …
