Saturday Night Slumber Party....




Again, another spare of the moment, spontaneous act of the twisted sisters pans out to be positive! A rainy night, Barb comes over to watch a movie together. Guess which movie? That stupid, silly one again “Little Man”. We just wanna laugh like we did over vacation, once again. So, we set ourselves up; munchies and drinks and get comfortable. We did laugh again! Though, this time I gave her the stupid movie to take home with her. After a brief intermission, we watch another movie at Barb’s recommendation; “Jarhead”, which I had bought but had not seen yet. What an excellent movie! Really made me think about what I will refer to now as a forgotton war..”Operation Desert Storm and Desert Shield”. Remember that? Seems we don’t hear much about that war, nor the men and women who went to the desert of Iraq and Kuwait. It was not a movie filled of fighting but of men who just seemed to go crazy in the desert, for months and months. I had never seen a side of it as this movie, never thought on things quite like I did after seeing this movie which was based on fact.

It was a long movie and it was about midnight when it ended but it sparked some discussion between my sister and I afterward. It a topic not really discussed between us, just because its not on our minds when we get together, but here we were at midnight, discussing our thoughts and feelings about war, past wars and the world as it is today. I think I’d like to watch that movie again.

Anyway, Barb spent the night. It was near 1am when we went to bed. I’ll have to set the spare bedroom up for her for our future slumber parties. She put her order in this morning of how she wants it and what she wants in it, as we laughed, because she found herself quite comfortable in her sleeping quarters last night. This morning, before she left, we took a walk around outside, to see what was in bloom. The sun was finally out brightly, after so many rainy or cloudy days, and it was getting a bit too warm at least for us. Here are a few pictures of this morning’s color in bloom. The poem I wrote and posted in the earlier days of this site about the blossoms like fireworks, is so true. Every day, it seems something else blooms. There is another color, beautiful flower opened and it’s so enjoyable to watch every day. So, here are this morning’s bright pictures.
