A freebie: The Kingdom

Who doesn't love freebies?
Check out Volition.com, scroll down, and sign up to be notified of free movie screenings in your area.

I registered a few weeks ago and last week I received 4 free passes in the mail to The Kingdom.

We went and saw the advance screening last night.
Intense, action packed, at times disturbing, and very violent - it had me on the edge of my seat throughout.

Not appropriate for the faint hearted or for the 10 year old girl sitting two seats down who, by the end of the movie, was curled up in a ball crying. WHAT goes through some parents' minds?

On this Harvest Moon...

But theres a full moon risin
Lets go dancin in the light
We know where the music's playin
Lets go out and feel the night.

Take a look up in the sky tonight and check out the harvest moon.
My favorite time of year, when the full moon rises during the autumnal equinox.
It's time for the annual harvest moon party.
It's time for the harvest moon playlist.

Manic Monday

The manic monday word for today is "kit".

I thought of these handy dandy little kits I gave as gifts a few years ago.

They are perfect to throw in a backpack, boat, car, rv, purse, motorcycle, bike, etc.
Light and little.
AND look what is inside:

25 survival items in a genuine air-tight, waterproof, crushproof sardine can... acetaminophen, adhesive bandage, alcohol prep, antibiotic ointment, book matches, tea bag, chewing gum, compass, sugar, whistle, salt packet, energy nugget, duct tape, fire starter cube, wire clip, first aid instructions, fish hook & line, note paper, pencil, razor blade, safety pin, signal mirror, waterproof bag, and the can may be used to boil water.

Two for Tuesday -Sunflowers

Sunday we drove Ryan child #2 (David) to college.

On the way, we spotted gorgeous fields of yellow from the Thruway.

On the return trip we took a detour so we could get a look, up close and personal.

We've seen fields of corn and fields of wheat but never fields of sunflowers.
