Movie Time

I'm feeling better today.  It's Monday and I'm home alone.  I was tired and rested for most of the morning  Suzanne called me and it was a joy talking to her.  I hadn't heard from her all weekend and I was just a little bit worried, but in the back of my mind I knew that nothing was really wrong or she definitely would have called me.  She was just busy helping Matt & Victoria.

It's after 2:00 p.m. and Rick told me that I should watch a movie today with Sylvester Stalone called, "SAMARITAN," on Prime.  He said that it was really good, but that I needed to pay close attention to it, or I would miss something important.  So, I have turned it on, and it's time for me to pay attention.  Bye.

I went on a date today....

...or maybe I should clarify that and say, that I was the chaperon on a date between Jessica & my grandson Brandon. It's always been just Brandon & I going to the movies for the last 14 years until Jessica came into the picture several months ago and I knew that my dates with Brandon were soon coming to an end.. To my surprise, they invited me to come along with them (in my car) to see the new Harry Potter movie.
Jessica & Brandon are both almost 15 yrs. old and will be Freshmen in high school in August, and are not allowed to date yet, so the next best thing they can do is to invite grandma to the movies with them. They would have invited Jimmy to come along, but he threatened to sit right in between the two of them, so they decided that it was okay if he stayed at home.

Andy Gibb- An Everlasting Love

Jimmy is watching Full Metal Jacket and I'm listening to music and watching the movie too...what a combination huh?
Jimmy was a Drill Sargeant in the Army and I still can't believe it, because he's never lifted his voice in anger to me...I can't even get him mad, nor will he argue with me. He said it was all an act...not our marriage but the drill instructor part. : )
When he was in the regular army in Korea, he drove a tank.

I currently live in Madison County

I've been searching for a particular DVD movie to purchase and to add to my DVD collection. I told Jimmy that I was looking for The Bridges of Madison County and we have searched everywhere without any luck. Sharon told me to rent it, but I found it online this morning and it's on its way here and I'll be able to watch it in about a week.

I know that the main story line of the movie is not about covered bridges, but as I was searching for the movie I was reminded of the days when we used to take the kids and visit every covered bridge that we could find and photograph them. The pictures got misplaced sometime during our divorce and I have no idea where they might be. I may have them stored as slides....I'll have to check out the slides sometime to see if they are there.

Also on the day Jimmy and I got hit by a car, that ran a red light, we had just come from visiting a covered bridge somewhere in Harrison County. My big red bike was brand new then and it didn't have the training wheels on it...those came later when I decided I wanted to convert it to a trike since it was just gathering dust in the garage/building.

The picture of the covered bridge above was not taken in Kentucky. It's Humpback Bridge in Virginia. We were on a bike trip with Sharon & Scott and if you double click on the picture of the bridge you will see on the left side of the picture a person in red waving frantically to get my attention....that's Sharon.
