I got to watch "The Bishop's Wife" starring Cary Grant; "Come Back Lover" starring Doris Day, and some other very entertaining movies over the weekend. Also saw the latest Bond movie in Skowhegan where the ticket price is $3.50 and I was glad I did not pay full price.

It has to do with Obama's alleged ineligibility to be president.

LOL, Christie! Not on your life!

Though when I substitute teach during the day and then teach at church nights are way more hectic, and usually laced with intercom calls for "custodian to the boys bathroom please" "Custodian to the gym, please" during sickness season

Chuck the old movies sound great. Movies are fun...

Sorry to hear new Bond is not good.

I discovered that Cheaper By The Dozen is a true story, and it has a really interesting backstory to it

I loved Henry Fonda and Lucille Ball in "Yours, Mine and Ours" very cute movie. Loved the house they moved into after they were married.
