Thanks...Thank you, <b>Arti</b>. Yes, I am quite blessed. <br /><br />Thanks for your thoughts on films and violence. I do understand, and I don't have any moralistic objection to violence used as you say. However, I do not "only" watch blissful films. :-) I find bliss even in well crafted stories of pain. Violence is a sad reality in this world, as is pain, and I believe in writing about it. Even I have been known to do so myself here at synch, because it is unavoidable.<br /><br />Thank you so much for the conversation and your excellent reviews.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-48425160528332886992011-10-11T04:06:08.896-04:002011-10-11T04:06:08.896-04:00Thanks, Peter.

Thanks for sharing with us such beauty. I can understand you would only watch 'blissful' films... I don't particularly enjoy violence films either. Especially those with gratuitous violence, I find despicable. But if the complexity and negative content are set up to contrast grace, then I can forbear, albeit still would not enjoy the violent scenes.Artihttp://rippleeffects.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-30406984889923913962011-10-10T12:40:38.590-04:002011-10-10T12:40:38.590-04:00Just something rather ordinary, which when you thi...Just something rather ordinary, which when you think - and write - about it, maybe extraordiary, to be appreciated!PeterParishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09694538476960957295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-48782908651103426672011-10-10T12:35:44.003-04:002011-10-10T12:35:44.003-04:00This is the kind of week that fills your heart.

Lesley and I (and Don, too, I think) are the most fond of her of all the TV chefs. We like her recipes, her style, her quiet demeanor, and of course her fabulous house in the Hamptons.
