Out and about

Up until a week ago Friday, I had never been downtown Spokane to a place called River Park Square. It has a lot of stores and a 20 theater movie house. It was the movies that introduced me to this location. My neighbor friend Patty invited me to go and see the movie "Doubt" with Meryl Streep a week ago Friday. We went and picked up Patty's sister and took off for the 9:15pm showing. Reasons we go to the late show is because Patty's sister works nights and she sleeps most of the day on Friday (her day off), also the parking isn't bad and there are fewer people in the movie so we get good seats. I got home that night at 12:30. Ugh, I am not a night person. Also the movie wasn't that good. I thought it was very slow and drab. It definitely leaves a doubt in your mind though.

This last Friday we went to dinner at a place called "Sawtooth Grill" inside the square and then caught the 9:45pm showing of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" starring Brad Pitt and Kate Blanchett. It was a great movie and I recommend it to all. It's funny, sad and romantic. I didn't get home till 1:30am. It was a 2hr 48 min movie!

So now I go out with the girls every Friday night to a movie and maybe dinner if we can afford it.
I think next Friday we are going to see "Defiance".

I really miss going to the movies with you, Rosemary. Remember, we used to have to wait weeks sometimes for something decent to come to our one movie house in Sandpoint. Then those same movies would stay for almost a month. Now every time I go to the movies here in Spokane I will think of you. I miss you.

I love moose

First of all you all have to know how excited I get when I see a moose. I just love these goofy, awkward and unpredictable creatures. Our house is full of moose items such as clocks, mirrors, stuffed animals, picture frames, coffee cups, candle holders, slippers, a log bed with a metal insert in the headboard of a moose and I even have a futon with moose fabric. I have just too many to list. You get the picture though.

When I moved from Sandpoint where I saw moose often, either in the garden or on the road. I didn't think I would see moose here in Spokane. The first time Jerry said there was a moose in the yard I didn't believe him. But sure enough he wasn't kidding. From that day if I hear Jerry say there is a moose I am jumping to see it. I am usually asleep when they wander thru in the early morning. Yesterday was no exception. It was 7am and I jumped out of bed when I heard Jerry say "Barb, there's a moose". There were in fact two moose and they were rather large. Here are some of the pics I took. I was almost late for work because I couldn't stop watching them. I didn't even care that they were eating our Arborvitae bushes.

Anyone tell me how to move the pics to where I want them on the page? I wanted these at the bottom not the top.
