What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Ever since I heard the movie was coming out, I wanted to see Young Washington. Our family is full of history buffs, and I am one of them. I don’t know that I can tell you the dates that things happened anymore, but I still like learning more. Of course, I am not sure how …

Early last week, my son Karl sent me a message and asked if I wanted to go to a movie. I said, “Yes, what are we seeing?” I didn’t care what we were seeing. I just loved the opportunity to spend some time with Karl. He ended up sending me a link to the trailer… …

You all might remember that my daughter Kelli is a big-time Frieda McFadden fan. She reads and reviews many of her books on the blog. I haven’t read any of them. I just haven’t gotten to them yet. When I saw that one of the books was being made into a movie, I thought Kelli …

I was on a mission. I wanted to see the Wicked, the movies. So about two or three weeks ago, it was my turn to pick a movie one night when Arnie was at my house, and I picked Wicked. Arnie typically doesn’t mind musicals, so I thought it would be okay. He ended up …

Last weekend, Arnie and I didn’t do anything on Friday night. Saturday was slow, filled with household chores, and I thought we weren’t going to do anything again. I looked around to see if there was any live music…none. Then I remembered that I thought the new Brad Pitt movie, F1, was coming out. I …

I’ve been on a movie kick.  Typically I don’t go to many movies but lately, there have been several that I’ve wanted to see.  Last week I was reading Mary’s blog at Chicken Scratch Country Threads and saw that she had gone to see the Elvis movie.  OH!  That reminded me that the movie would likely be coming out in my area soon.

I checked.  We have a $5 theater with decent prices on concessions just south of us in Sumner, Iowa.  I decided to check and see if the movie might be playing there.  It ...

Last weekend Karl asked me on a date.  The theater in Cresco had decided to open but there are no movies available to they are playing some classics until the big box office movies make their way back to the theaters.

Up for date night with Karl was Jurassic Park.

I was SUPER hesitant to go.  Karl wanted to go really bad and Karl and I are the moviegoers of the family.  We depend on each other to be the date.

We ended up looking up to see what days it would be playing.  It turns out it was scheduled ...

My birthday was the 14th…is was also deer hunting weekend here and the boys, Buck and Karl, are hunters.  They hunted a lot, then quit, and are back to hunting again.  Anyway, Buck was home and he brought Scotty to hang with me.

Sunday morning I realized that Frozen II was playing at the local $1 theater.

Well that sounded like something this Grandma needed to see and something they would enjoy too.  I’ll admit, I love Disney movies and am thrilled the grandkids are getting big enough to go to the movies.

Scotty and I called Carver ...

I told you earlier about the whirlwind day away Karl and I had on Sunday.  It was lots of fun…hanging with Karl always is.

Anyway, we have accumulated a pretty long list of movies we want to see so we thought we better take one in so we could get one checked off our lists.  The one we picked, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.

I’ve long been a Mr. Roger’s fan so it’s was no surprise that I was so interested in going to the movie.  How could I not love anyone who worked so ...

You might remember a bit ago that I went to see Downton Abbey.  While there, I saw a preview for this movie, Harriet.  It was billed as a movie that told the life of Harriet Tubman, best known as a conductor on the underground railroad right around the Civil War time in the US.

If you’re a long time blog reader here you know I like all things historical so there was no doubt that I would go to the movie…even by myself which I did.

This time going to the movie myself was no big deal.  I ...
