A special visitor

We've been having severe thunderstorms, lots of lightning and it's not over yet although it is calm at the moment. We didn't lose power, but Toronto Pearson International airport did! That's major.

Last night, L met some friends for a movie and a 'bon voyage' dinner party. K got M to take him to see 'GI Joe' and I went to see 'The Ugly Truth'. K liked GI Joe, M said it was 'ok'. I enjoyed my movie, although, these days nothing is left unsaid and it's only rated 14A....L had seen it last week and said she liked it ..oh well. They must hear a lot in health class, ETC. When the kids were little, I had this book that seemed to explain the birds and the bees very well, and that was it for me! Her group actually saw 'Julie and Julia' which she thought was a bit boring although it made her hungry. At the restaurant after, she said she ate her food slowly, in small, careful bites as Julia Child would have done to savour the experience.

Oh, I had never seen this actor Gerard Butler who stars with Katherine Heigl in 'The Ugly Truth', and he seemed interesting: Here's his bio He's been around for awhile.

My sister from Florida is visiting later this week for a short while, she'll be staying at my other sister's house. It will be great to see her.

  1. ACK! I hate it that nothing is left to the imagination any more. Sigh.

    Have you seen the movie version of The Phantom of the Opera? That's Gerard Butler as the Phantom. I thought he was pretty good in it.

    I hope you have a lovely visit with your sisters.

  2. Japra, I didn't see it, but we saw a clip from youtube, surprising that he sings too.
