North and South

This movie was suggested to me by my long-lost friend Erin. I borrowed it from my local library and was blown away by it. I won't go in to all the details but it reminded me a little of Pride and Prejudice and other Jane Austen stories. It's a long one with two discs but very worth the time. Another BBC triumph!

Erin, I loved it! Thanks for the heads-up! Have you seen Phantom yet?

Bowling

The kids have been begging us to take them bowling so when Ken's birthday came, I decided it would be a fun birthday activity. We had a lot of fun and decided that it is definitely harder to bowl in "real time" than on the Wii.

What an experience with the nifty bowling shoes and trying to find a ball that was light enough for the kids...Jenn had to use Hannah's ball too. Of course, Ken won with a good 40 points ahead of the rest of us. But that's ok because it was his birthday.
