  This is my weekend off. I am enjoying it immensely.
  Yesterday, I did a little housework and played on the computer in the morning. Then in the afternoon, I took a nap.
  My son then drove his broken down car to our house to keep it until it is sold as junk or traded. A few days after my husband fixed its front deer damage, a rear suspension problem became evident. The car is a ’93 Subaru and parts ain’t cheap. So, now my son is driving our pickup, after learning to drive a stick shift.
  He and his fiance decided to spend the night and the three of us went to see a movie. Rog wanted to see Doomsday, but Ali and I wanted to see Shutter.
  We travelled to New Phila to see Shutter. We had to take detours to avoid flooding. But I was able to get an amazing picture of the sun and clouds.

  

  The movie was excellent. But it makes me a little camera-shy. I ain’t afraid of no ghosts but… I have seen pics with some strange images before and I wonder. Now, the picture above looks like it has a “ghost” on the left side there. But that is actually a hole in the cloud cover where the sun was shining through. I saw it with my own eyes.
  We arrived at the theater just as the movie started. Sitting near us was a group of teens. One girl had a cell phone and she kept laughing out loud for the first ten minutes of the movie. One of the other patrons went and told the usher and he made a walkthrough but the girl hid the phone. As soon as the usher left, she pulled it out again and began giggling…loudly. Very annoying. It made me wonder why you would waste 9 bucks to see a movie if you were just going to sit and play with your cell phone the whole time. Finally, I am told, an older lady in front of me yelled, “Shut up!” and she did. I missed the wonderful moment as I was totally engrossed in the movie at that moment. But I did notice a short time later that all was quiet.

  After the movie, we went out to eat. Ali and I ordered breakfast. Roger ordered a sandwich and fries. He said he can’t eat breakfast except at breakfast time. Growing up, he would refuse a supper of scrambled eggs with sausage and toast. He would have a PB & J sandwich instead. Mike and I like a supper of breakfast food occasionally. Don’t know where the kid got his aversion.

  Today I will probably not do much of anything. The kids are still here and I think maybe we’ll go visit Mom and Dad this afternoon. Maybe get pizza.
  I haven’t had pizza for a couple of months.
  Hope you all have a nice day.
