I entered the photo contest this week and my picture is up along with a lot of really great shots. Please take a look. The topic this week is SunShine.
Vote for your favorite......anyone can vote.
This past Saturday my husband and I were invited over to a friend's house for a Drive-In Movie. We had a simply marvelous time. We got there at 7 and they had lawn chairs all lined up in their drive way facing the garage doors.
There were about 8 couples there.
They had a video projection thingy and their VCR hooked up to it. We watched a little documentary about cartoons during WWII first and then the main feature..."South Pacific," (the one with Mitzi Gaynor.) At intermission we had some homemade ice cream with all the fixins.
I brought a basket of movie theatre candy. I had so much fun shopping for it! The kind I really wanted and could not find were Snowcaps. I remember those from my high school movie days. One time, on a date, I accidently spilled my box of Snowcaps all over the seat of my date's car. Ooops! 
Those things are little and they melt too. Although, they were easier to get up off brown leather seats than cloth!
Well, no Snowcaps this time but I sure enjoyed sharing my bag of Sugar Babies!
The evening was perfectly pleasant, with a cool breeze and tons of stars glittering over head. At one point I looked up to see a shooting star. David saw it too.
South Pacific is a long movie! It is not exactly my favorite movie...some parts really bother me....but you know, I don't think I have ever sat and watched the entire movie before. We were night owls, getting home past 1AM....but we made it up for church the next morning and we did not even doze off.
Some Enchanted Evening!

That sounds wonderful! Beloved and I thought we would do something like a projector movie at our home one evening when we lived in Savannah. The major thing that made us not do it were the FIRE Ants that year. Since, there are no fire ants here I think I might ask Beloved to do a little movie for us on our home for the little ones. I wonder what the cows would think? The little ones would think it is fun. And I am all for memory making --- and Popcorn! Although my favorite movie item is Twizzlers! --- Do you have any Twizzlers in that lovely basket of yours? .
That sounds like a lot of fun! What a neat idea to have the movie theatre packages of candy, too! I see there are Milk Duds in the basket. Those were always my favorite movie treat!

@ILoveObento - Oooo la la!!!! You are so sweet!
I want to be a little girl again! Oh well, I am young at heart and now I am hungry for the turkish taffy.
My mouth is watering for some of those....oh dear!
I am not a big candy person but I do have my favorites!
Did you see the Bonomos Turkish Taffy? If that did not bring back memories of slapping them on the steps to break them up into bite size pieces.
Thank you for the link Sheri.
