Snow White and the Huntsman

I recently purchased Snow White and the Huntsman . . . it is no Children's Fairy Tale that is for sure.  The movie was really good . . . I had gotten mixed reviews of the movie--I decided to get it for myself and watch it--Kristin Stewart is Snow White; Charlize Theron is the Evil Queen--she played that part very well--she is one of my favorite actresses anyhow as is Kristin Stewart; and Chris Hemsworth is the Huntsman.  I just have to watch Mirror, Mirror yet this movie stars Julia Roberts as the Evil Queen--you either like these two movies or you don't--Snow White and the Huntsman was good, I just did not make it to the theater to see and purchased the DVD.  The movie Red Riding Hood is also no Children's Fairy Tale and it keeps you guessing right to the very end.  Another good movie and there again you either like it or you don't. I also recently watched the Woman in Black starring Daniel Radcliffe best known as Harry Potter and that was a good movie . . . he is on

Summer is Gone . . . Fall Has Arrived

Summer 2012 is a distant memory until next year.  This past summer was one of the hottest and driest summers I remember--we have had some in recent history . . . 1988, 1995, 2005 are the ones that come to mind.  What does Fall and Winter have is store for the area . . . we will have to wait and see.  I was not looking for it to cool down so quickly, but it did--hopefully this is not what is yet to come if it is, we are in for a long, cold winter--I will be staying in if it is too nasty--don't like winter driving--let's just hope we get enough precipitation between now and by time the planting season begins to bring the water table up and our farmers have better crops next year. I had not made it to the Fulton County Fair in a few years--made it there this year, glad I went, I enjoyed the few days we did attend the fair and had the fair food--visited with people we knew and had not seen in awhile--it was good to see those we had not seen in awhile.

Vacation Time Over . . . Back To Work

I took the rest of my vacation time August 30-31 and Sept 4-7--see how many people missed me while I was gone.  It was a nice vacation, although I did not get to do what I wanted to do, that is Ok another time when there is more money to work with. I did manage to make it to the 155th Annual Fulton County Fair a couple of days out of fair week--it was worth it, I have not been to the fair in awhile, enjoyed the days I did go and of course had the fair food!  I even seen a few people I had not seen in a few years and talked with them. Maybe next year, I can plan a nice trip for me and the family maybe by then there will be a little extra money to work with--it was just nice to spend time at home with the family and take a couple days and go the the fair. I shall return to the world of the working and living and see what awaits me at my desk at work--get back into work mode from vacation mode--get back into the swing of things after a little over a week away from work.  See if I wa
