yesterday the weather was so bad here that the police issued a warning for folks to only go out in the case of an emergency... too bad matt heard this news just as miriam and i were pulling out of the driveway to go see charlotte's web. :) besides the few times on the drive there and back when i could see nothing but white, we had a great time. it was a sweet movie, and it made me want to live the quiet, quaint country life with lots of space and animals. fern, the main girl in the story, reminded me a lot of miriam in the way she so loved the animals. we stayed until the very end of the mile-long list of credits because i liked the music -- funny how it takes literally hundreds of people to create such a "simple" story... i also found it both humerous and a bit sad to learn as i watched the credits that the movie was actually mostly filmed in melbourne, australia -- again, interesting that they had to go that far to find a location that depicted the perfect "american" country setting... i THOUGHT one of those crows had a bit of an aussie drawl! i guess i shouldn't base my ideals on the movies.
we cancelled our date night plans for later that evening, deciding instead to invite some of our neighbors over for a spontaneous game night -- since we were all snowed in anyway! we had so much fun that i think we will need to do it more often.
today it's still snowing and blowing, but we hope to venture out later to watch the super bowl with friends. (GO BEARS!)
