May 22, 2012 Update

Last Saturday we set out to the Blueberry Festival, not so great. We got there plenty early and we still missed out on blueberries, blueberry muffins, and blueberry pies. Can you believe that, no blueberries at the BLUEBERRY FESTIVAL!!!! Whatever! I did hear someone singing Blue Christmas, yes Debby, I realize the theme of the day was "blue", but really Blue Christmas?  I don't think so. I'm just say'n. Don't get me wrong, we had a great time listening to people give the cops lip, not smart if you ask me. We checked all the crafts. We even found a few we can try ourselves. Yes we have more crafts to do in the Happy Zone.  

Today a few of us (three to be exact) went to a matinee showing of the movie "Battleship". I'm going to use this blog update to introduce the Happy Zone Movie Rating System, the "Golf Cart Scale". 

One Golf Cart =  don't waste your money
Two Golf Carts = eth, not so bad
Three Golf Carts = good
Four Golf Carts = very good
Five Golf Carts = EXCELLENT

So now that you have an understanding of the Golf Cart Scale, I rate Battleship at 4.5 Golf Carts. It was a good movie. Don't believe the critics, they are by nature critical. Rotten Tomatoes gave the movie a 35%, IMDb gave it a 6.3 out of a potential 10. Now come on guys, it's a movie. It's entertainment, it's not supposed to cure the ills of the world. Just give you a few exciting minutes in a dark room with strangers all around.

This weekend we will be having our Memorial Day Get Together. The Wades have graciously offered to host our party. Robert is going to cook up some ribs, Steve is going to slow cook a pork butt, Rich and Carole are going to stuff some shrimp, and Debby is going to cook up a pot of baked beans. Oh we have got some good eating ahead of us, as usual. We decided to do our celebrating on Sunday, that way we can polish off any left overs (yeah, like we aren't going to have left overs-come on guys, we ALWAYS over cook), on Monday.

So there you have it, the what's happen'in in the Happy Zone.
