Monday or Wednesday ? ? ?

Oh My Goodness !
Since 20 December 2012, I have been doing something everyday, and boy am I exhausted.
Between son birthday, dinners or lunches out everyday, Christmas Eve, Christmas brunch, then it was my birthday.....



Son cooked dinner to start off the week of my birthday extravaganza. 

I usually have these seven glasses on the table that I change for what ever is going on.
Today it was rocks from my yard some fir tree branches and filled up with water.

Simple and festive.

He cooked duck curry, tomatoes and potatoes and rice.

This is my Birthday gift from daughter and her partner.
Tickets to a Hayao Miyazaki, Studio Ghibli retrospective, held at The Loft.
Through the month of January,  I get to see 8 of my favorite Ghibli films
on the big screen !
If you have read this blog for any length of time you know my love of his films.
And now to see them on the big screen is a dream come true.
I have only seen three of these eight in the theater.
I will be reviewing these films as I see them. 

If my birthday luck holds out I will be the proud owner of this poster !

And now the big revel,
Hey, thats me showing off my new phone !
Family received smart phones for the New Year.
Yes, I know families who buy, lose, buy, lose or  destroy smart phone like popcorn.
 But my family after all these years
finally decided to turn in our very old phones for Samsung smart phones.
Good bye ATandT
Hello T. Mobil
NO MORE DROPPED CALLS !
or charges to my bill that I have no idea what they are and could never clear up.
So far I can actually talk to my daughter who live 15 minutes away.
 I  do not have to re-dial her constantly and best of all I can actually hear her.
Yoohoo !

Here I am in the parking lot of The Loft Theater showing off my new phone with cover
before I go in to see Laputa (Castle In The Sky)
Sub-titled with original soundtrack on the big screen, what could be better.
As I said before I will be reviewing these movies through out the month of January.

But just so you know The Square Dogs will NOT be giving up their Friday post.
So many Christmas toys to review !
yert !
