Our Little Movie Theatre

Seems like I've seen quite a few movies lately.  Our little small town movie theatre is the neatest place to see a movie.  It is called the Rio.  Monday night is Sr. citizen night and you can get in for $3.00, yes I said $3.  You will not find a cleaner theatre or any other kind of establishment as clean and neat as this.  It is one of the older theatres in Texas.  They do show the latest movies also.  It is usally a gathering of good friends and acquaintances you've known most of your life.  Some are the same ones you sit in church with.  There is a little mexican restaurant next door and if your hungry for mx food on Monday night that is the place to go and walk next door to the theatre.  The folks that own the theatre are the nicest!  My husband and I had a cheap date last night and saw "Get Low".  It's worth seeing, different but very good. Based on a true story. 

Eat Pray Love

I went with a friend and my daughter in law last night to see this movie.  I am a big Julia Roberts fan but the movie was just ok.  She did great as usual.  I had started reading the book and the book is slow and not as good as the movie so maybe I went INTO the movie with reservations.  But it is definietly worth seeing!!  Anytime I get the chance to do something with my daughter in law is very worth it, she loved it!

We Will Never Forget 911!

Nanny McPhee

If you haven't seen Nanny McPhee you must go!  I took my little grandaughter

last night and it was the cutest, sweetest movie.  I was surprised at how many adults were there without children.  Jayda loved it, even if she did get sleepy.  I know..it was a school night but we couldn't work it out any other time.  I told her we could leave but she didn't want to.  I love doing things like that with her...of course the popcorn, root beer and skittles was the highlight!

Birthday and Labor Day!!

Celebrated my birthday this week. It was a nice week.  My co-workers took me to lunch one day and another friend took me lunch another day.  My kids were all at the house Fri night and my husband took all of us out of town to eat out, it was really lots of fun!  Sat. they all tried to swim but it was a little too cool, I fixed a huge pot of gumbo, chicken/shrimp/sausage and a big pan of cornbread.  It was delicious, I think we were just alll gumbo hungry.  Today after church my husband grilled hamburgers for us and we had coke floats, actually shasta orange, yummmm..they tasted like dreamciciles.  I introduced coke floats to Jayda this summer and she is hooked!  Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday Monday and enjoy your family.

These Travelin' pants are tired!

I went with 3 of my sisters plus our sister in law to Arkansas to visit our oldest sister.  We had a wonderful time even though she was not feeling very well.  We ate too much, laughed too much and didn't sleep enough.  I came back exhausted but I believe it's because I ate too  much...ya think?  We started out with a bowl of fudge one of my sisters made.  Started eating it in the car!!  What fun!!   Then last night I kept my grandaughters for a bit while their parents went on a date to the movie.  It was fun, I missed them soo much while I was gone!  It seems to take me a little longer to get over traveling these days....but it won't keep me from going again!!
