The Wolf And The Lion

 It was a beautiful day yesterday .... just a tad bit of wind along with lots of WARM sunshine.  Boy have we been missing that!  Too bad the wind came up again last night, along with two of the loudest trains I've ever heard.  I could feel the vibration throughout the house!  That meant Cooper and I were up pretty early this morning.

I took the last quilt off the machine, saying thank you's for not letting me run out of thread.  Not that I'm in love with Amazon, but they actually delivered two spools last night about 7:30.  I'm back in business, at least as long as it's white thread I want to use.

So Baby remained idle all day long.  Maybe a little rest will do her good because the next quilt will be a big one!!

In the meantime, the Chance household called about going to the movies.  Heck YEAH!!  Anything to get out of the house for some R & R.  This is The Wolf and the Lion.  If it's playing near you, I recommend it. If you are an animal lover like me, you are going to hate parts of it.  

This is a true story (most of it anyway) about a lion cub snatched from Africa and send via airplane to a circus in Canada.  The plane crashes.

At the same time, a snow wolf has a baby puppy that she hides in a house after being chased by a guy trying to save the species.  I won't tell you any more since that would ruin the story.  

In case you were wondering, it cost us $6.75 each to get in (Military discount) which Dan paid for, meaning the popcorn was on me.  If you ever wondered how theaters make their money ... it's the food.  One medium .... not even the usual HUGE .... and one small bag, along with one small drink came to $23.25.  At least I think that's what it was because I was quickly shocked into mental unconsciousness!!

Thank goodness the movie made it worth it!!  Let's see ... popcorn $.50 and $.25, 2 bags $.50, total $1.25 ... oh, and $.30 for the soda water.  Profit $21.70.  Or something like that.  Anyway ... the popcorn was really good!!!  

I got home in time to hit the store for groceries.  This time the parrot was low on supplies.  It's a good thing I did that first, because today is INSURANCE day.  That's a subject I hate completely.  It's time to get ripped off on house and vehicle insurance, which always seems to require an adjustment (up of course) in my budget.  It's okay though because I got a $30 a month raise in retirement.  WOOHOO!!!!!

Back to quilting ... I think I have at least ten more to go!!
