Summerfest 2011…
is coming.
Yep, the signs are positively everywhere…
Roustabouts putting up there rides…
then testing them out.
Bleachers being set up to get a better view of the parade…
or watching those who are perfectly happy to watch everything from the ground level set up “camp.”
One the best signs that our favorite event–Summerfest– is coming soon is..
the official “claiming of a half city block” in the name of two sisters, 1 brother and all their kids.
I know, I know…it starts on Saturday and we have our blankets down on Thursday morning. It may seem early to you, but we do what we must to make sure nobody…I mean nobody–takes our special spot.
So if you go out on Saturday, and you see us, be sure to say hi. I promise, rain, sleet, snow or sunshine…
we’ll be there–so stay tuned!

These Days…
I’m…
hoping that Miss Jiff is finally learning who her real friends are…before we have her de-clawed. I mean it.
planning a few new Harry Potter-ish things for my depleted little Etsy shop. Go Gryffindor!
still giggling over a bumper sticker we saw last week.
squinting at the tiniest little stamped tag I’ve ever seen. How do they DO that?
getting ready to laugh my guts out with the nutty bunch of clips called “Kid History.” Check them out!
amazed that the old time bad guy from Mario Party has started to feel like a friend. Wait, maybe that’s bad.
considering hiding in the closet to eat these incredible, light as a feather scones…from Barry’s. Fine. I’ll share.
wondering how those teeny tiny babies got to be so big…so fast…
when I wasn’t looking!

Harry Potter–Through the Pensieve
With the very last Harry Potter film coming out next month, we’ve really had the “bespeckled git” on our minds these days. With the end in mind it seemed only right that Gracious Rain take over the entire Theater #7 at the University Mall Cinemark in Orem, Utah for the event–with our usual crazy premier blow out beforehand. We can’t seem to stop ourselves from making a party out of things–always.
If you happen to be even a small bit of a fan–please, please, watch the following. It’s amazing…and of course it will likely make the die-hards bawl.
Yeah…we’re in deep my friends.
Is it just us or are there quite a few folks out there who wonder–What will we ever do without our beloved Harry Potter?!
Those Pirates
My sister and her man invited me to the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie the other day and of course I went. Aside from the fact that it was playing in an amazing theater…
and it was filled with Johnny Depp….
–let me say that again with emphasis—It was FILLED with JOHNNY DEPP!
He and I go way back.
But we also had the bonus of getting to see it in 3-D–something I’ve never, ever experienced before. They hand you your ticket and a cute little package with a funky pair of black sunglasses. If you put them on before they tell you to, everything will look chopped up and blurry and you might just trip over nothing and you could even start to feel a bit car sick. Don’t ask me how I know this. Just trust me and wait till the movie tells you to put them on.
Besides, you don’t want to miss THIS particular poster on your way down the hall. Pretty sure I’m too wimpy to see any show called “Abduction” but the poster of Jacob from Twilight was quite nice. Ooops–did I say that out loud?
Here’s a movie-going tip of the day. If you want the theater all to yourself, just show up for the 9:30 am show on a Saturday. There were like six other people in the building so we could pretty much yell to each other about how darn cute Mr. Depp was and nobody would care one little bit. My kinda movie!
I admit that it was very odd putting sunglasses on in the dark and over my own glasses at that. But 3-D was really a fun new adventure. And seriously…it’s always ok with me if that Captain Jack fellow seems to be standing a whole lot closer.
BAH-ha ha!
What about you? Have you seen the new Pirates? Have you ever watched a movie in 3-D? :}
