Okay, I love old movies...I just love them. Most of them, anyways. I'm not into old war movies, but I will occasionally watch an old Western. But my favorite, I have to announce here to the world, are the old sappy ones!! The ones with an incredibly corny love story & the typical "hero" character who knows/does everything, and looking handsome & masculine all at the same time. I'd never seen "It Happened One Night" until today. It was on TCM, and they're saluting Frank Capra (no, he's not an actor, he's acutally a director. A phenomenal director. He's directed some of the most well-known classics (and these are only the ones I know about!!LOL I'm sure there's more) "It's a Wonderful Life," "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town," "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," "It Happened One Night," and a new one I'd never heard of today is "Here Comes the Groom."). Anyways, "It Happened One Night" stars Clark Gable & Claudette Colbert (Cole-bear, think "French pronunciation"). Now, I'd never seen Clark Gable in anything except "Gone with the Wind," but I have to say I loved him more in "It Happened...". VERY good. Kinda cheesy, but still very good.
Anyways, I had a good time by myself while Abbey took her nap today. I love Fridays...
Tonight they're having a "Carpenter's Kids Retreat" tonight @ church. It's an overnighter for the schoolage kids (not Jr. High & HS...there'll be a "lights out" this isn't a REAL all-nighter...it's a sleepover, really...). Anyways, we're not spending the night, but we're going for dinner & playing games & stuff. I think there'll be a craft or something, too. I don't think we're staying all that long...
Tomorrow, I don't know what we've got planned. I know that Steve has his Block Banquet, and Abbey & I aren't going, but I don't know what we'll do. Chelle's inlaws are in town AGAIN this weekend, so she can't really do much with me. I'd like to go to the Flea Market, but I don't really want to go by myself with Abbey...Aarrrgghh!! So, we'll probably just hang around the house tomorrow I guess...that's what it's sounding like, eh? LOL
I'd better go. Abbey's getting antsy to leave for church, and so is Steve...I don't know why unless he's going to disappear & mow the lawn while I'm inside...it could happen...but he like to talk with Mr. Ed (he's our youth leader). They work in the same bldg. on base, and go out to lunch with each other a lot. I like Mr. Ed & he's a good Godly influence on my hubby...
Okay, anyways, better go...I really don't know why he's being so antsy...weird...
Love ya'll!! :)

I will admit to you that I have never seen Gone with the Wind. Okay, are the gasps over? (watch, someone will have that in the mail for me by the end of next week LOL). I'm not a movie buff either, but I'm glad you enjoyed what you watched! lol!
Hope you had fun at the get together tonight. Church activities can be so fun! We are gonna miss the get together in the fall. I told Hubby that ya'll are changing that. He loved doing that!
Lots of Love!
You know, I've always wanted to get into old movies, but I don't think I've ever given it a chance. I do like "It's a Wonderful Life" so maybe I ought to, huh? I've never seen "Gone with the Wind" or "Casablanca" either. Yeah, I'm a loser! :)
Hope you had a nice weekend! Love ya!
First of all I want to comment about your previous post. I read it like a while ago and meant to say something about the Praisefest thingy. When is that gonna be? It does sound like a Homecoming service - how cool! Quaint and old-fashioned but cool! One reason we might not see as many of those type services nowadays is because everyone is so dang busy. I think it's a very good idea and if we aren't able to make, I'd love to hear how that goes!
Now...a confession...I've never seen Gone wwith the Wind either! lol I've tried to watch it a couple of times when I've seen it on on TMC but it's usually after it's started so I just can't get into it. I do love old movies too though. There is a certain pure innocence about them although I'm sure in their day some of them were a little risque. Two of my favs are, the ever classic Breakfast At Tiffanys and I also like Barefoot in the Park - a very young Robert Redford - Hubba hubba!
sorry not my journal....happy Wednesday!
