Thursday, December 20, 2007

Maddie here. Carol's been bogged down with getting ready for Xmas, going to parties, meeting up with friends and then...of all things...trying a case last week. However, tomorrow we drive [yea, road trip!!!] to Montgomery to be with her sister and brother-in-law for the holiday.

So Carol and I would like to wish everyone a joyous and safe Christmas!!!! Maddie


Golf Cart Parade of Lights

Monday, December 10, 2007

Tonight Maddie and I along with a friend attended a 'Golf Cart Parade of Lights'. I know...only in Florida but what a hoot and a half! People deck their golf carts with lights and decorations and drive around the streets. The event kicks off with hot dogs and hamburgers and games for the kids. Unfortunately, a few hard showers did put a few kinks in the celebration, but a great time was had by all. My Maddie handled the crowds like a lady she was. Everyone ooo'd and ahh'd over her red bow. :) Carol


Movies

Sunday, December 9, 2007

Recently, I saw two very different but great movies. First was August Rush with that fabulous child star Freddie Highmore. Wonderful movie, very mystical and inspiring. Whoever was the musical director blended rock with classical seamlessly. Kerri Russell is luminous.

TodayI saw The Golden Compass...one of the best roles I've ever seen Nicole Kidman in. And Daniel Craig, yum!!! My major complaint was not enough air time with him. I also questioned one thing about the story, but won't say anything here for fear of spoiling the plot for others. Of course, the special effects were fabulous, particulary the armored polar bear. I hope they don't delay on the sequel the way the producers did on Chronicles of Narnia. The movies need to come out like Harry Potter, one a year.

But both movies are 'must' buys for me when they come out on DVD; I also have to get the CD for August Rush for the music. :) Carol
