Good Morning All...

Well, I guess I'll be here more today than I thought. sigh

I've made a reservation for today to take Mom to her favorite 'tea room' where the food is in small portions (that appeals to her) and the tearoom lady fusses over her & calls her 'sweet thang'...

...we were also going shopping.

Mom just called to cancel....says her back hurts & it must be about to rain, and she doesn't like rain....(she's always anxious to know where the umbrella is)

.....Well, I will stop by there tomorrow.....and check on them.
...I bought their favorite cereal, a couple boxes of sugar-free cookies, and a gallon of diet Arizona tea (Dad loves that!).....

..so tomorrow, after going to the doctor with Jenny, I'll stop by & take my basket of treats.----I'll have to pick up some chocolate for Mom too :)

Yesterday, I was busying around the house, and turned the TV on.....I think it was the Lifetime Movie Channel.

Well, the first 5 minutes of this movie, I turned it off & said to myself...."This is going to be too depressing!!"....I won't watch it!"

But 10 minutes later, I turned it back on, and it was one of the best movies I've ever seen!!!
...The acting was so real, sweet & honest.

It was probably one of Jason Robards last movies before he died. (The movie was made in 2000)

And it also has Sherry Stingfield in it (she was in ER for years)

Jason Robard is her aging father in the movie, and she leaves New York (& the high life) to come visit him, and realizes he needs a lot of attention.
She is the chosen child, the one who is the overachiever and her sister, who lives in the same town as the father, is the underachiever, but tries to come over once a week to help her Dad.

They also had a brother, who died in Viet Nam.

Oh, I cannot describe how well made this movie was!!!!!
Finely nuanced, gently acted.

I found myself sitting on the floor in front of the TV, crying my eyes out!!
It was a good, much needed cry.

The name of the movie is Coming Home.....

Last night we went to the first get together small group of our new church.

Last night was the kick-off supper, and it's going to be a sweet group to meet with every week.

Two young, 30 something couples, one single gal, and guy, two senior citizens, and my hubby & myself, plus some others who will be coming.

I'm looking forward to it.

Well, that's my day :)

I think I will get some sun this AM.....maybe.
We're still having LOTS of rain.

I'm also 'verdict watching' the TV in the Westerfield trial.

FWIW, I don't think he did it!!!
