The Company Cometh

This one's going to be picture-light. Everyone is still asleep.

We have company. Older Kid, the Not So New Daughter In Law, and the Munchkin (though he's not yet Out Here With The Rest Of Us) arrived for the weekend and the Younger Kid came for dinner. It was good to have everyone arround the table again.

Younger Kid had a chance to show off his house to his brother (who is still an Apartment Dweller) and his animals (who were well-behaved as always). It was a good visit so far.

Today, OK, NSNDIL, the Other Half and I will venture to the fair to check out the animals, the crafts and food exhibits (and the fudge), eat ourselves sick (possibly), then come home and do the dinner thing again.

There will be pictures later!

Movie Reviews:
The Children of Men is dark and troubling in a sort of The Handmaid's Tale meets 1984 sort of way. Don't pay full price. Wait for the dollar shelf.

John Travolta shows his range in Wild Hogs. Funny, funny movie. Probably not a good choice for kids. William Macy and Martin Lawrence and Ray Liotta are in it too. What's not to like?

And then last night we saw The Number 23. Let me say right up front, this is not the Jim Carey we all are used to! I'd go back and watch this one again to catch what I missed.

I requested all three of those movies from the library, although from the looks of the line I won't get them until about 2011. No problem, I'm patient.

I read The Children of Men. a few years ago and happened to also read Plainsong (the one by Deborah Grabien, not the one by Kent Haruf; two very, very different books) at about the same time. Both seemed to be inspired by the then-upcoming turn of the millenium, which made them even more interesting.

Have a great time at the fair, and enjoy the not-so-young 'uns!
