Melancholy

I am terribly melancholy today. Our, mine and the husband's, best friend's father passed away Monday. Arthur was such a lovable man. He and Loyd were very close. Jac and Ashley are taking me. Jac will be a pallbearer. Arthur was much like another grandfather to our kids. My little boy Andrew cried when I told him. And so did Ruthie. Today is going to be very difficult for the Guyans Family. May God touch their hearts and ease their pain.

If anyone gets the chance, drop the family a line and let me know you thinking of them.
Love to all,

movies

I must admit, I love going to the movies. My husband professes I would go to the theater to watch snow on a screen. If they sound system was good, that is indeed a thought. So, it comes as no surprise I went this weekend to see 300. I was terribly impressed. The whole concept of the Spartans taking on the Persian army, my God, the discussions are endless. One man fighting to protect his home, even if he is not a well trained military person, is more determined and has more perseverance than 100 men attacking. That is just the beginning. The battle scenes were very well put together (yes, it is very graphic). And my gosh the bodies of those men! So easy on the eyes. Whoa, mama! Overall, guys, you gotta see it.
Love to all,
