Last night, Susan and I went out to see a movie courtesy of our oldest son, Eric. Susan was dropping him off at work the other night and and he passed her some money. He told her that it was for us to go to a movie, his treat. Eric has grown up to be such a thoughtful young man.
The show we went to see was Blindside, starring Sandra Bullock, which was playing at the Roxy -- a small, one screen movie theatre. Neither of us had ever been to the there, so it was a new experience for us. Very quaint. The sound was not very good, the screen fairly small and when it rained, we could hear it tapping on the tin roof. We had a very good time. Nice to get out for a bit, especially because we were so busy over the holidays.
The movie is a true story about an upper class family who took a homeless boy, Michael Oher, into their home. They ended up adopting him and he eventually became a pro football player. It was a touching story.
When we got home, Susan searched on the internet and found quite a few U-Tube movies about him and his family. That made a bigger impact, reflecting on the film.
All in all, it was a fantastic evening. Thank you Eric.
