Project 52: A Movie Night

I don't know why I allow myself to pick out movies.  This last date night we watched Sherlock Holmes.  I had heard great reviews, but was disappointed; in the movie, not the date.  The date was nice.  Joel went out and got some Icees and snacks that included beef jerky and Reese's Pieces.  It was fun to have little treats with the movie. It was impromptu because we had gone out to Greenfield Village earlier that day and it tuckered the entire family out. 

I've really been enjoying our time together and knowing that Friday night we aren't going to just sit in front of the television with our hand-held devices surfing the web.

    I struggle to watch good films (always fall asleep half way through) so good on you for lasting a whole poor film. Love the sound of reeces pieces - will be on the look out for them. xo

    I wish they had spent more time on the storyline and less time on special effects. It's supposed to be a mystery not an action film :) I'll gladly send you Reese's Pieces in exchange for Roses

Hospitality for the Rest of Us: Long Distance

People are moving more and more. When I was a youngster, it was a rare instance for a friend to move away. Now it's me that moves away. We've moved a lot, especially when we first got married. It was something like five addresses and three states in the first four years of our marriage. We've slowed down a bit. In the midst of all that moving, we've made some friends along the way. I try to keep an open line in case of times of grief and celebration. One of the best tools I've found for keeping in touch with loved ones far away is Facebook. As much time as I could spend doing other things instead of checking it, it's the best thing I've found. It allows me to communicate with others, without having to call. I know calling is amazing, hearing people's voices, but for introverts, there are no body language clues for us to pick up on that help make our conversations easier. It's also why we prefer to video chat :-) Back to Facebook, some etiquette.

Threadbare Knees

I feel sure that you've heard the saying "If life gives you lemons, make lemonade."  Well, recently I picked up a pair of wool cashmere blend slacks from Salvation Army and upon further inspection at home, the knees were threadbare, practically holes.  Easy enough to miss, when your knees don't fall in the same spot as the previous owner.  They were inexpensive, so it wasn't a big monetary loss, but I felt like it would be a shame to toss such nice fabric and so I searched the internet to see what I could do.  I found this cute little purse pattern, for free!   You can go check it out by clicking here . It is a great little pattern and I was able to make the entire purse in one rainy day!  Here are some pictures of my threadbare knees purse. Don't you just love those little pleats? And there's even a little pocket inside.  I'm so impressed with myself! Time to fill it up with my keys and such non-sense! And remember, when life gives you th
