11/28/09 Resting, Video run, MKate brings dinner. Yum

Luke had a hard night, so I did too. He finally slept in lounge chair. It wasn't comfy but he did get some rest. I'm hoping and praying that he'll be able to sleep tonight.

At 7 pm, I left the house to get a video. Luke didn't think he could sit in a movie type chair and I was too tired. At the video store, I spent 30 minutes walking around and looking. I had Luke on the phone for the last run. We like funny movies and had seen most of the good ones. We finally found a movie that we missed--"Away We Go." The darn thing was defective after all that looking. So . . . we saw one of our fav old movies, "Lovers and Other Strangers." Some older movies are dated, but this one was funny and deep at the same time. The characters were real. Real for today as well as 40 years ago when it was filmed. Luke and I love this movie but I had forgotten some of the best parts.

MKate came by right from her daughter, Jennifer's, thanksgiving party. She brought most of the meal and it was yummmy: the turkey was tender and flavorful, home made apple sauce, green beans, squash in coconut butter, and MKate's amazing cole slaw. For dessert, pumpkin bread with a cream cheese icing and white wine. We ate as we watched. Personally I'm glad that the Block Buster video was bad because it gave us the chance to share the amazing "Lovers and Other Strangers."
