Over the river and through the woods

I think this was the largest Thanksgiving dinner we've ever attended with about 27 people. Cousin Sandra and Pete are great hosts. Click picture to enlarge.

Sunday Walk

Today was a perfect day for walking. We toured the downtown construction projects, especially the newly restored courthouse.

Enchanted and Beowulf

Last night we viewed two new movies. Enchanted is the Cinderella fantasy which begins in animation then changes to real life in New York City with a blend of animation. It has a classic happy ending after humorous misadventures. It was entertaining but easily forgotten.

With a monster such as Grendel, Beowulf was naturally extremely violent but because it was obvious fantasy and with a blend of animation and real life, we found the violence acceptable. The special effects and 3D projection made the experience notable and will pull in a lot of viewers.

Old Glory?

On our way to the Veterans Day parade today we observed Old Glory proudly (?) flying over this Lake Worth residence.

American Gangster

In spite of the violence and bad language, American Gangster is a very good flick about drug crime and crooked cops. It was well put together and the cast was great. As usual, I found it confusing but I was never bored and the tension, especially near the end, had me totally involved and shaking uncontrollably.

Luncheon with Kathryn and Mary

Pardon me Roy, Is that the cat that chewed your new shoes?

Wouldn't It Be Loverly?

My Fair Lady is here now. We were delighted to see it Tuesday and at 44, I thought, she aged well. It was my first time seeing it on stage. The music was all familiar, of course, and is treasured among my favorites in musical theatre. I had some trouble hearing all the dialog. In the future I'll pick up a hearing device.
