Movies
A few nights ago, I touched on our conversation over dinner at cell group--a continuation of one we'd started the week before about our favourite movies. Sam had led an icebreaker where we had shared our favourites and it was surprising, funny and revealing to hear what they were. Here are some of them: Ron-- Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure Richard-- The Godfather Brenda-- Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Susan-- The Miracle Worker and Chariots of Fire Paul's were A Christmas Carol and Groundhog Day , and mine were: The Colour Purple and What About Bob All week though, I kept thinking--what was it about those particular movies that spoke to people--and that's what we discussed over dinner on Tuesday. It was as much fun finding out why people loved them as finding out what they were. We laughed loudly as Ron recounted some of the scenes in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure as they traveled back in time and collected historical figures for their history a

My first adventure with Molson went off with very few eventful details. There was the small matter of negotiating an elevator ride but that was made up for by the biggest dog treat handed to Molson by the kindest, most gentle senior's hand. He did very well his first visit with one lady asking me what he thought of old people. "I hope he doesn't mind us touching him" she said seeming to hope that I would put her mind at ease. I assured her that indeed he only cared if she was kind and that obviously she must be because he approved as evidenced by the fact that he was letting her pet him endlessly. We had such a great time. I say we but it was clearly all about HIM! One person after another telling me about their dogs and one lady exclaiming, " Look after him. He'll be the best friend you've ever had!" I assured her I would and let her know that I would see her next week so she could inspect whether I was caring for him adequately! That was the touch stone for everyone. The hope of the next visit. "I'll see you next week" I would say in expectation. "See you next week" was the constant hopeful reply emphasizing to me the importance of a little fur, some tail wagging and a whole lot of love!
