s'mores, 50th, the citadel, and george clooney

okay--another weekend post----

let's see--friday night we went to my son dustin (robhye) and my dil adrienne's house for dinner and s'mores --using their new fire-pit he made--it was a good time ---the kids played on their new swing set/playhouse dustin and adie recently put up for them----it rained some while we were there, but it didn't dampen the kids excitement about--chocolate--gooey marshmallows---and fire----

saturday was my oldest sister, ruth and her husband lewis' 50th wedding anniversary--we went by to see them---had a nice visit--and took a few pictures-----i cannot believe it has been fifty years and that i am that same little flower girl i was---all those many years ago----they had their picture in the local newspaper too--

hmmm let's see, what else----we were going to see my aunt who is in a nursing home in a town about an hour or so from us----but i was not feeling too chipper, so we put the visit off and went to church instead---

frank and i had quite a "discussion" in our class about the new book we are reading about "grace"----isn't it funny how we can get so riled up about grace of all things---it was more that i interrupted frank too many times----i think we need separate classes---

after church we had a nice lunch at the mall with one of robyn's friends and his brother----this was her male friend that prompted the long fb status and my "what is love" post----he had just returned from a week at "the citadel"-----he is the highest ranking officer in his school's jrotc--air-force---he was in his uniform yesterday as he tends to do a lot----his goal right now is to be president of the united states---and you know, i can see him achieve this goal----"are you sure you don't feel romantic about this friend, robyn"---


i have two george clooney movies we watched over the weekend--i will give you my opinion---

"the descendents"-----well i thought it had hardly anything to do with his descendents----now i am the first person to love a movie about just feelings or an introspective look at life---i found this movie, terrible---i didn't like anything about it----i thought, with the exception of the kids, the acting was horrible----i felt no empathy for any of the characters and it lacked  guts--

"the ides of march"---now this was a good movie--the acting was pretty good---a superb job by philip seymour hoffman---a couple of nice twists---a few smart messages---- my only complaint would be the ending-- not that i have to have everything tied up at the end---but maybe i just wanted more---

have a nice monday-
