Anne and fondue

Tonight jenna and I made a pot of cheese fondue and settled in to watch the new Anne of Green Gables movie. 

It was beyond cool to watch Jenna fall in love with Anne. She related to her in all the ways I did when I was her age, and then in a few different ones too – they both have that red headed temperament. 

Anne is one of my favourite characters and it’s my all time favourite book, so it was so special to share in Jenna’s first experience with this fiery rebel. It was one of those special, golden happiness moments.

Bob ~ The Civil War

We are sitting in the movie theatre anticipating my happiness moment for today. 2,5 hours of watching Robert Downey Jr (or as they say his friends call him, Bob. That’s just wrong) on the big screen. Or as Jacob would say,  watching the new Captain Ameirca movie Civil War. 

I feel so blessed that there are three generations of family out tonight enjoying time together. Plus, Robert Downey Jr…..

Buns and Yorkshire Pudding 

Today was my uncle’s birthday. He’s one of my favourite people in the world, and has always been a second dad to me. 

They had a big birthday supper for him followed by a showing of Forsaken which was filmed out at the movie site. Very cool. 

My happiness moment was standing in the kitchen with my cousins laughing and eating. We had plates piled high with fresh buns and Yorkshire pudding filled with gravy. We’d gobble it all down, complain about how fat we were getting, laugh, head back for seconds, then laugh some more. 

  
To be with these people who I am so close to, who have known me forever, and whose company I enjoy so much is a great joy in my life.

The force awakens…finally 

I have finally joined the cool kids club. Today we  watched the new Star Wars movie at the Imax theatre. 

I love Hans Solo, now I kind of want to watch old Indiana Jones movies as well (so perhaps it’s Harrison Ford I love). 

It was a great happiness moment to share a movie from a series that played a huge role in my childhood with my cousin, as well as to share it with our kids who are perhaps the world’s greatest Star Wars fans.
