Friday Fun

I'm picky about what movies I watch.  Really picky.  As in, I don't want anything worse than PG.  Maybe that torques you.  I'm not pushing it on anyone.  I've finally learned that you can have your standards and I can have mine.  I'm only responsible for mine, not yours.  They're between me and God.  So, a family movie night is a tough thing because good movies are hard to come by.  I delved back into my childhood recently for The Happiest Millionaire, with Fred MacMurray.  I grew up quoting the maid, "Me new broom!" in a delightful Irish brogue and singing, "Fortuousity, that's me byword."  I'm sure that makes no sense to you.  This movie was every bit as good as I remembered.  AND, Daddy and I both thought it was so light-hearted and clean, that the Blossoms would enjoy it.  So, now they're quoting the maid and giggling at runaway alligator scenes.  I guess there are a few good family movies left out there.  Rent it here!  I must say I liked that the father-daughter relationship was portrayed in a sweet and positive way.  And, the good clean humor over an eccentric and passionate millionaire's life made for a fun evening with a happy ending to boot. 

PS - Happy Birthday today to our oldest Blossom, Skeeter!!!!  :)  She is such a blessing to us!
