Dr. Watson I presume......

Roseanne and I went to see Sherlock Holmes today and it was everything we thought it would be. First of all, we both love mysteries, English movies (and Guy Ritchie), Robert Downey, Jr., Jude Law and how Sherlock and Dr. Watson always prove there is nothing supernatural about the crimes being committed by using the science of their day along with the ability to notice everything in a room quickly. It is a combination CSI/Psychic (the guy on TV who has unbelievable powers of observation who pretends to be a physic). It was quite authentic - you never saw but one person taking a bath the whole movie and Sherlock is scruffy and dirty looking most of the time and that is being kind. After the movie we went to Manchester's Grill to pick up dinner.While waiting for our dinners, we had a glass of one of our favorite wines (bought the bottle and brought it home for dinner). Roseanne also gave me a nice gift - a digital camera! It is a Canon PowerShot A630, 8.0 mega pixels and I LOVE it! I'm still getting used to it being a little heavier than my old one but it could not have come at a better time. As much as I have loved my little Fuji - it is eating batteries quicker than I can keep them in the camera so I guess it is good-bye old friend and hello new Canon (that I can actually see what is in the screen when I take or want to view a picture)! Woo Hoo! The waitress seemed to enjoy our conversationand took a picture of us with my NEW CAMERA while we were waiting for our dinners!! Another wonderful evening with one of my favorite people in the world - my friend and my sister on so many levels they blend. Those evenings are just too few and far between but what can you do in these busy times. She is married, has 4 children (all married now), 3 grandbabies (one lives in VA) and a busy social life between them and the congregation. I am happy we have been keeping our promise to each other to MAKE time to at least catch a movie together from time to time. We are still planning our little retreat - nothing definite yet but hopefully we will be going soon. Thanks for my lovely gift Roseanne - I love it and YOU!
