Secret Life of Bees - This was our selection for the neighborhood movie group last night and it was a wonderful movie. It's a coming of age movie about Lily (Abigail Breslin) who runs away from home to a place she thinks might offer clues about her mother who died when she was little. It takes place in the south in 1964, just after the Civil Rights Act was signed by Lyndon Johnson. She and her friend Rosalie end up at the honey farm of August Boatwright and her sisters, June and May. The cast is supurb and includes Queen Latifa, Jennifer Hudson and Alicia Keys. An absolute must see. Whenever we had a small intermission, all kinds of interesting conversations were sparked by the goings on in the moive. There is not one moment to miss in this one.
This morning my friends Debby and Barbara picked me up and off we went for a great day of friendship, fun and saling. Garage saling that is! We saw it all. From a couple of oldy moldy sales to a lovely art sale given by two sisters and their daughters. They've been collecting vintage tablecloths, handkerchiefs, flowery dishes and fabrics for years. They sew, make jewelry, take pictures, frame, make mosiacs. Cool music was playing as we meandered past and enjoyed their lovely and colorful handcrafted wares. Our artistic hostesses were so friendly that it was like a fun tea party. They were really clever with decopage too. It was the best day. Especially since I'd be coming home to a clean and neat house. (Because movie night was here last night and I got the place shaped up). What a nice start to the weekend!
