Ted and I had weekend plans and the weather has probably
defeated us again. We didn't get much snow here but our
destination, Miami, Ok. has had 4 to 6 inches and it is
drifting also. We really needed an outing. The winter
blahs have descinded with a huge bang.

The wind is howling and we have plenty of books and movies
to sustain us if the roads are impassible tomorrow. It is
terribly cold and Rex refuses to go outside, apparently he
is prepared to wait until his bladder if full to bursting.

I have been getting old, old movies from the library and
the latest is Cleopatra. It really isn't a very good movie
despite the cast but the spectacle is overwhelming. Elizabeth Taylor's beauty is not enhanced by her egyptian
hair do or her eye make up, She is just so beautiful, it
(her beauty) is more striking unembellished.

It makes me wonder how beautiful women cope with age. One
could get endless plastic surgeries and botox or just
relax, take minimum care and let it happen. I am reminded
of Pamela Harriman who chose the first avenue and was
beautiful until the day she died.
