I am joining Bleubeard and Elizabeth for this week's T Stands For challenge found here.
This is my summation of the past week:
Teddy will be serving double duty as my main image plus as my "T-Day ticket" for my T-Day posts for awhile.
Weather-wise, it continues to be a mixed bag of cold and sometimes slightly warmer than normal temperatures here in Connecticut. We got lucky again this past weekend, and had rain, instead of snow, although Sunday morning there were some snow flurries.
local news: In exciting local news, a fourth Revolutionary War skeleton has been found in that burial site in Ridgefield, Connecticut! The news article came out January 20, but I didn't see it until now:
"“We were able to remove this individual completely and he turned out to be most interesting,” [State archaeologist Nicholas Bellantoni] said. “Burial No. 4 had 28 brass buttons associated throughout his chest and arms, including cuff buttons. All buttons were badly corroded and need to be cleaned in the lab to look for insignia.”"
"The recently unearthed artifacts will undergo testing by a team of forensic experts at the University of Connecticut, Quinnipiac University, Yale University, the University of Florida and the University of California-Santa Cruz."
I still haven't been doing much online nor with my artwork, so it's another week with not much to mention.
Postcards: Red Green Bird, Imbolc, Dragons (4x6), Dragons (6x4) , Romany Gypsy.

Movies:
The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) (DVD) okay entertainment. Not one of the best 007 plots, so just okay.
Sudden Impact (1983) (DVD) very good, but intense too
2 Guns (2013) (DVD) very good
The Adventurer: The Curse of the Midas Box (2013) (DVD) very good
A Walk Among the Tombstones (2014) (DVD) very good, but intense too
Secret in Their Eyes (2015) (DVD) good
The Signal (2014) (DVD) okay / good, then became odd, then had a disappointing ending.
It's All About Love (2003) (DVD) awful, made no sense. it was a jigsaw puzzle with pieces from four different puzzles. only good part was the classical music:
Izzy: Una Furtiva Lagrima by Gaetano Donizetti

Interesting news with the skeleton find. Teddy is looking good as always. Your week was full, hope this one will be good. Happy T Day, Valerie
You made me laugh! Did you really finish an awful movie?!
The Gypsy sure is a pretty one.
An absolutely delightful teddy bear - what a sweet expression he has - and I love the postcard - amazing colours and textural layers in the background.
The excavations do sound exciting - a window onto history.

Finding that skeleton is amazing. I hadn't heard that but just image the stories those bones can tell. And what kind of tea is Teddy sharing with us this week? I could go for a good cup of tea right now but I shall have to wait until I get to work, all too soon. Have a wonderful Tuesday and hopefully Thursday's weather won't be too bad. Happy T day. Hugs-Erika
Teddy makes the perfect mascot for T Day, I'm happy to see him ensconced in comfy, chair cushions, and not precariously perched on a bridge railing. Will be interesting to hear more about the Revolutionary War burial site. That news didn't make it up here. I hope the rodent was right with his prediction on an early Spring. Though I seem to recall that was the same prediction last year and we got slammed with snow through February and March. Here's hoping for rain this weekend. Happy T Day
Good morning, I would love to know about the skeleton and their findings if you see a post about that. I think you may end up with the wintry storm that is coming through the country right now from the rockies-they say now we are to get 4-6 inches of snow with ice so we'll see
You've watched a bunch of movies again-Happy T hugs Kathy
I'll gladly celebrate tea with Teddy, our great spokes bear. How awesome that he brought us all these wonderful teas this week. He really DOES say it with tea.
I was glad to read about the fourth skeleton. This one seems very promising and maybe you will learn more about where they came from.
Thanks for sharing your DVD choices and art, along with tea from Teddy with us for T this Tuesday, dear Anne.
gorgeous postcard-love that gypsy image! The the tins are delightful- almost want to buy the teas just for them:) Great that they found another skeleton- the stories he must hold...
happy T day!
Those are delightful looking tins Teddy is sharing- so tempting to buy the tea just for them:):) Love your gorgeous postcard and that gypsy image! Very cool to find more skeletal remains. What stories he could tell...
happy T day!
The Revolutionary War find is exciting! I'll be checking out The Adventurer: The Curse of the Midas Box. Thanks for the suggestions :) Happy T Tuesday!
...Teddy sure loves tea!
T stands for Teddy this T Day, it's always nice to see him! How interesting about the find too 😁. Sounds like a good week! Happy T Day! Hugs, Jo x
I am enjoying a cup of tea with Teddy at the moment and wondering if the sun will come out. The Revolutionary War skeleton is an exciting find!
Lovely to see Teddy again, we’ve just watched the Star Wars film prequel, quite good if you like that kind of movie, then of course steve and our son decided we needed to watch another about Hans Solo! DIL wasn’t impressed.
5anks for your visit

Archeology finds are fascinating. Thanks for sharing this news, Anne. I need to read more about the site. Some of those movies sound intersting to me.
Happy T-day! Eileen xx
Give my love to Teddy. He poses so well with the tea caddies. Bless him!
What an interesting archaeological find. Keep us up to date on that one. It is a piece of history.
Have a lovely weekend,
(It's too late to say 'Happy T-Day')
Hugs,
Lisca
Well done to Teddy for finding that pic! How interesting to find those skeletons- I wonder what will be discovered about them! You seemed to have watched a variety of films this week! Belated Happy T Day, Chrisx
