What an uplifting story of survival in the news today of that plane that crashed in the Hudson River in New York. Also overwhelming was the teamwork involved in the rescue and a hero of a pilot. Maybe this is a good omen for Obama's presidency. Did you read the touching letter he wrote to his daughters (see the news below)?
We're having a couple over to dinner tomorrow night. It's my florist friend, she offered to bring dessert. I decided to do roast chicken. I'd like to see the movie 'Slumdog Millionaire', I keep hearing how good it is. It's not in open release here, but I found a theatre relatively nearby where it's playing. Now, to find the right evening that doesn't interfere with everyone's schedules.
Do you have a lot of loyalty points cards accumulating for just about everything? I decided to check out what I can get for my petropoints from the PetroCanada gas stations. It seems I'm quite close getting a $50 gas card, not bad, after many years of use. If I link it with my Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) card, I can get 20% more points (if I haven't done that already).
Have a great weekend.

Yes, such a great story about the plane. I've been thinking about what must it have been like for those on the plane or on the ground that saw it drop from the sky? Did they think it was another 9-11? I know when I read the News flash my heart sunk!
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping by with your comment, btw. Great idea about leaving UN/Pw in your will. now, just to do a will!
Amazing story about the plane, what a hero the pilot is. No, I havent read the letter yet but will after I post this comment.
ReplyDeleteOh its so long since I did a roast chicken um....but let me know what she brings for dessert though. My daughter went to see Slumdog Millionarie and said it was amazing! So go when you can and I must too.
Tell your daughter you don't often see spiders and that one is harmless. They just look big but they usually scurry away - they are more scared of us I think. I guess I must be used to seeing them given we live in bush here. Lots of trees etc even though I am in a city - Canberra the capital of Australia.
Have a great weekend!
Mmm, good thought..glad I didn't see the early news flashes.
ReplyDeleteYou know, Lilly, dumb old me would have told you Sydney was the capital of Australia! Must brush up on my world Geography. Nice to hear that a city has lots of trees.
