WEEK-END WRAP UP...(AND SOME MOVIE REVIEWS, HAHA)

Well, here we are to Monday morning already, and the end of July as well!  I know I say it frequently, but time just whips by soo fast.  Our week-end was full and fast as well.  Sat hubby and I spent the morning on a few chores and errands, and then went to lunch and to the movies.  It probably seems as if we go to the movies frequently, which actually I guess we do, haha, but it is something we both enjoy and it is always so nice and cool in there besides.  We use to spend our days together walking around looking at various different sites etc., but you know where that leaves me anymore, so that hopefully it will be part of our future again after my surgeries.  I am moving ahead with the process in that I did receive my referral for the orthopedic surgeon and the orders for new x-rays late on Friday afternoon.  I am waiting for the office to open and then I will call and schedule that appointment...but I regress.  It is hard to find GOOD movies I will admit, but this one is one I would definitely recommend even though it was mildly depressing, lol.  It is called Still Mine.  I had never even heard of it and had never seen a preview of it of course either, but hubby had found it somehow.  It is based on a true story, which I always enjoy as well.  It wasn't even playing in our local theaters, so we had to take a little drive (only about 20 min!) to find it, which was just fine with me.  It stars James Cromwell and is basically is about a couple that have loved each other for 61 years, had 7 children together, worked a 1000 acres of land and survived through the generations.  The wife's mind is beginning to go and the need for a house that is easier to get around in becomes essential.  He sets out to build it (at 87!) and is met with the building department's constantly hindering and stopping his work.  The life of this couple is complicated beyond belief, and you are living it all with them.  I LOVED it!   Sunday found us in San Diego as usual, and church was as good as ever. Afterwards hubby and I decided to take this set of grands to see the new kid movie (yes ANOTHER movie, haha) Turbo.  Again, I was quite pleased with the selection.  Some of those kids movies I find myself fighting dozing off, haha, but this one was really cute.  I had never been to the movies with little Donatella, and she LOVED it.  I thoroughly enjoyed them all on the experience.  We got home a little later than usual and barbequed some fresh Salmon for dinner.  Today I hope to spend at the sewing machine, and the rest of the week is full of appointments to keep this gal "taped together" haha.  Hair, nails, and brows etc.  It does seem that these maintenance appointments come closer and closer together anymore. The following week Melody and her family arrive and I am soo excited.  Hope you all have a wonderful week!  Blessings to you all! Debbie
