This is 40...

No, not our age - the movie.  Joan and I had a date night... well, a date afternoon.  "This is 40" just started at our local theater.  It's a comedy, about a couple, both just turning 40.  Nice thing about a matinee: the theater is rarely packed.  It was less packed than usual... a grand total of 4 people in the theater... two young girls who looked to be around 20, and Joan and me, who are that far on the other side of 40.

The movie was funny, occasionally crude.  The two girls in front of us laughed at the "old people" in the movie; Joan and I nodded our heads knowingly.  It was a fun date - the first time we've been to a movie in months.  And by months, I mean since before we left for the Pacific Northwest in the spring.

Our "winter event" is over; lasted two whole days.  It was still cool today (in the 60s), but plenty of sunshine and very little wind.  We drove by the beach on our way home after the movie - the water is still sloppy in the Gulf, but beautiful in the Laguna Madre.

We wrapped up our afternoon with some boat time.  Nice way to spend the day.  The "projects" are done for a while, the house is ready for our sweet little girl and son-in-law to visit for Christmas.

Happy Holidays!
