I haven't read the book

Or seen the movie. I'm going to watch it tomorrow and have the book on hold from the library so I can read it on my iPad.

And I just recently watched and read gone with the wind.

Good morning and enjoy snoopydawg

There used to be a summer-stock theatre in the high resort town of Highlands, NC and they produced a stage adaptation annually; have vague memories of the theatre as I was very young when last there. I want to read Go Set a Watchman, published last summer.
Have a good day.

I read the book last summer

I thought I was the last person in America. Apparently not! It's a good one. You'll enjoy it.

I still haven't seen the movie.

Thanks, Smiley. I hope to take photos

(only my cell phone) of her crypt/grave the next time we are there for business. If I do, I'll post them here, and on Flickr. Actually, I haven't read anything about funeral arrangements. I assume that it will be held at the First Methodist Church, and that she will be interred at one of the main and oldest cemeteries (next door), Pineville Cemetery.

Best to you.
