I remembered the 7th movie we watched. I saw a commercial and thought that was the other movie. It was the Dukes of Hazzard! I must admit it was a little weird seeing the new people in the show. I think my favorite was Burt Reynolds.
Years ago we spent many a night watching the old Dukes of Hazzard. My boys must have really enjoyed watching the show. (and learning evidently) Later on, years later, in Alex's high school yearbook someone had written that they had fun playing "Dukes of Hazzard." Oh yes, this cleared up the mystery of the pinto returning home one night non the worse for wear. Poor pinto, bob drove this car 90 miles a day. Even after the "Dukes of Hazzard" incident the pinto just kept going and going. Just wait Alex, fun times ahead!!

Got one!
One of the movies was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. (I kept thinking of Randi, since she loves Johnny Depp and thinking why?) I know its just me.
Oh yes I also thought of the first movie and compared this one to the first Chocolate Factory. If I remember right the first time I saw the first Chocolate Factory was during the first year I was married. Wow way back then. I was baking the Thanksgiving turkey dinner for my family at my house. Ah the memories!!

Christmas Past!
Well another Christmas has come and long gone! I didn't feel too bad till I read everyone's blog. Oh well:)
We went to the Holt Christmas at Bob's moms and enjoyed a great meal. Played pitch, I won 2 out of 3 games, which doesn't usually happen. Arthur finally won one game and then we could quit. Funny guy!
At the Holt Christmas all of the truckdriver brothers brought everyone calendars, either small ones to stick in your car or some trucker calendars to hang on walls, Hmmm maybe I can send them to grandkids. Since their rooms are all clean now!! (See Randi"s blog) Funny grandma!!
We did watch quite a few movies, 7 in all. Let's see, Mr and Mrs Smith, (had a hard time, kept thinking of Jenifer Aniston) sniff!, oh yes, Sky High, Kirk Russell (Hubba Hubba, liked him since the early Disney movies), Fantastic Four (twice now once with Mistie and Connie at Pat's house), Stealth, (Bob picked out this one, it was better than I thought it would be), The Island(Kevin picked out this one, it was a good scifi), Great! I can only remember 5 of them. I will try to remember later. Guess they weren't that good.
Last week I did go and see the Chronicles of Narnia, it was a really well done film. Now I have decided to read the series. Finished the first one and now I am starting the second in the series. Thought I had better get all of the fun reading done for now. Starting in January there will be no fun reading at my house. Acckkkkl!

Where are the memories?
I was looking at my bloglines and checking out the Get Fuzzy and then looked down and saw my blog, Holt Family Memories, and I thought where are the memories? It has just been a very busy last couple of months. Thanksgiving just passed and now it is almost time for Christmas. Can't seem to get in the mood, Wonder why? May be because some people are far far away. In fact I haven't even sent the Christmas box yet!! But I will this weekend after payday.
It is very cold here in Kansas, but we do have some beautiful sparkling snow. I love the snow, it is the crunchy kind. I like it because when you walk you can dig your feet in and not fall. (unlike the ice kind)
Last week was fun. I was going shopping with my friend Brenda. It started out with a dead battery, then a two hour waiting period on the turnpike because of a wreck. And then all I wanted to do was get my tires balanced and rotated. Oh well $664.00 and 4 hours later I left with 4 new tires. Not sure how that happened. I am sure that when I went in the store the tire guys said, cheeching! Bonus! tonight boys. Oh well. We did have fun shopping anyway. Later in the week in the morning my windshield wiper flew off so I had to scrape the windows. Not fun.
Oh yes and remember when I took the GRE will it needs to do to Emporia so I can enroll in the Library Science program, well they hadn't gotten it yet so I told them I could fax the results that I had gotten to them. Well guess what? I can't find my results. I am sure I put them in a safe place, just not sure where. Good thing is that I have really cleaned my house and office looking for them. But they did let me enroll as pending enrollment. So next spring the fun will begin! And why am I doing this?
Well hope everyone has a wonderful day! R
