The world has indeed changed. This afternoon, Ken and I, Kate and Mary Frances went to a movie. This theater has 17 shows going on at the same time, each in it's own small room. That is amazing to me. But I was happy because the seats were comfortable and each seat has a holder to hold your drink, so I was a happy camper. We ate lunch in the theater too, hot dogs and pizza and a soda.
Yesterday, during our planning phase, we tried to figure out what time would have the smallest attendance. We chose the earliest time slot, the 1:10 showing. When we walked into the theater fifteen minutes before show time, the place was empty so we had choice seats. Finally, eighteen other souls arrived. The movie won several Oscars so I was surprised at the sparse attendance, but we were pleased too.
It was fun, interesting and engaging even though it was all about the Royals. "The King's Speech", was the movie we saw today. I would recommend it to anyone. The rating is not for children but that was only because of the language used in the speech therapy sessions. I must point out for accuracy sake, that the site for the first war speech King George made was actually Winnipeg, Manitoba. True story, but not shown in the movie.
Kate and Mary Frances enjoyed the movie and were pleased they saw it with us. Being a grandparent is wonderful.
