Early to bed

I'm going to have to go to bed later if I'm going to keep this blog up to date. Now I'm playing catch-up again.

Movie Tuesday:  Finding a good movie to watch is not easy these days. This Tuesday we saw Dark Shadows (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1077368/) starring Johnny Depp and directed by Tim Burton. That pretty much says it all. I would rate the movie B-. It was funny in spots and we stayed awake through most of it. My husband enjoyed it more than Mom and I did. Mom pretty much summed it up for us: "Well, Johnny Depp was in it." If you like Johnny Depp (we do) and popcorn, then go see it. Angie and Gary didn't go with us because they weren't interested in the movie and don't care for Johnny Depp.

Wednesday's Riding Lesson:  Once again I wasn't able to mount the horse because of my stupid leg. Even though I've been going to the chiropractor, it hasn't gotten better. Betsy and I put on a smaller saddle without the 3" cantle that my treeless saddle has and I did manage to swing my leg over and get on the horse, but it was very uncomfortable. Bummer.

No T.R.O.T.:  No trail ride again on Thursday for the same reason. In the morning I took 50-50 in to have her stitches removed. Unfortunately, the vet said she has to wait another week. She still has to wear the E-collar, too. When I got back home, Angie called and proposed going to town to get yarn for Mom and have breakfast at a new (to us) restaurant. Sounded good to me so Angie drove and we all had breakfast and then did some shopping at Michael's and Wal Mart.

Friday Movie:  We seem to be setting up a new habit of having dinner and a movie at our house on Fridays. Angie made an antipasto salad and Mom brought the remainder of the Solunto bread Angie bought at the Sicilian festival las weekend. Mom had it frozen and it held up well. After dinner, we watched "The Grey" with Liam Neeson. Angie had her eyes closed through most of it. I admit it was pretty violent and gross. That makes two movies in a row that were pretty ugly. We have to do better next week.

Saturday:

On Saturday, I made a pair of earrings to match Angie's necklace.

Dennis went to town with Gary. When he got back we made some Focaccia to have with the low cal chile he made. The chile was good but the focaccia was only so-so. I think the yeast was too old. It expired in 2007.
