An Invincible Summer - A Woman's Journey

We spent a quiet day yesterday.  Greeted the new day and played an early 1/2 a round of golf and then a quick lunch. Back home to a little bit of football and the Boy Scout had a long nap. I took that opportunity to talk to the kids. It warmed my heart. Tried some lousy Chinese food and then a movie. It was cheesy but I wasn't going to miss it.  In 1984 my then boyfriend, who later became my husband, and I drove 45 minutes to the closest drive in movie theater.

Go see it......I don't think you'll be disappointed.
