A brief stop at the movie…
So we made a brief appearance at the Outdoor (indoor) Cinema’s showing of “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” yesterday. Jr. V wasn’t in the mood to sit and watch a movie in the middle of the day, and he probably wasn’t the only one, since the turnout was pretty light. Well, light compared to the throngs that the movies were pulling in this summer. We ate our weight in popcorn and saw a lot of familiar faces, and ducked out quietly after Charlie found his golden ticket. OK by me, because I know I’ve seen the “factory” portion of this movie before, but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen the first part - at least I had no memory of the numerous jokes, etc during the search for the tickets sequence. One thing I noticed at the movie was how many people from our neighborhood (and others - Hi Lillie) I now know since I’ve started this ‘blog. That’s good, since it was one of my goals from the beginning to get to know some of the neighbors. It’s too easy to fall into the trap of getting home from work, walking inside and never even noticing what’s going on or who is living right beside you.
