We continued our Christmas celebration
yesterday by joining hundreds of other people
who got out of the rain and into the movies!
Christmas is a big time for movie
theaters. Kids are out of school and a lot of
people use the time between Christmas and
New Year's Day to get in that last week of
vacation before they lose it for 2011!
Hollywood releases what it hopes will be
it's "Big Money Movies" just in time for
Christmas.
We opted for "War Horse" and were very
happy with our choice. Other features like
"We Bought a Zoo", "The Adventures of
Tintin", and the latest chapters of "Mission
Impossible", and "Sherlock Holmes" are
just some of the offerings filling the big
screen this week.
My $3 per fill pop corn bucket was good
till New Year's Eve so I got one more fill-up
for the year. The grand kids said it cracked
in the car soon after we left so, it seems, I
got just enough mileage out of the container!
We left the theater and headed out to
one of our favorite eateries for dinner.
Our timing turned out to be perfect
there as well as we learned the place will
be closing in January for renovations.
Kay's is truly a treasure!
Located in Daleville, it is literally
a restaurant built around a "train-car-style"
diner that the owner rescued and
refurbished.
I'm not sure how it's to be renovated.
It's kind of a "classic" and most of us
like it pretty much the way it is.
There are some hunting trophies
mounted on the walls.
I guess we could get along without
the turkey and the deer that looks like
he almost made It through the wall!
In any case, as long as the food stays
the same we'll have no complaints.
So on Christmas Day plus two we
filled ourselves with a good movie,
good food, and great companionship!
Hope you're doing the same and
that all your NEWS is good!
