What's up? An ending for Nate and a stroll down memory lane!
Golly,
what a week! (Obviously if I am posting Wednesday on Thursday)
How did I miss the fact that the Nate Berkus show has been cancelled? Last week I was researching items for the potential trip to New York and looked to see when he was filming and was totally bummed. Sorry Nate, I work. I do DVR your shows, but I guess that isn't enough... To make matters worse they only film on Tue-Thu... We are flying in on Thursday... To BOSTON.. :( Totally Bummed... All hope isn't lost.... the season isn't over yet...
Now for some good news - I found a few options for a drive-in theater in Arkansas. Thanks to my Sisser and SIL for the link... In case you want to find one near you -

I spent a significant part of my childhood in Monticello, Ark. Johnny and Peggy were family friends and they owned the walk-in and drive-in theaters. I remember MANY a night spent, with Uncle Johnny and my Poppa, in the admission booth, playground and concession stand. I thought I was in high cotton. Anyone who knows me today will attest to the fact that I am a HUGE movie buff. Not sure if that is the reason or not, but call me old fashioned, I miss the glamour of it all. Now that most theaters are owned by companies, not individuals, the personal touch has gone by the wayside. Drive-in movies are a full experience... Okay, the quality of the screen isn't exactly state of the art. The sound is likely not stereo.. But there is just something about movies in the open air. All the cars lined up. Before the movie you had the opportunity to visit without bothering the people next to you. You didn't get in trouble for propping your feet up, there is a place for kids to play, optional outdoor seating near the concession stand, you have control of your own temperature and it is perfectly legal to bring your own snacks..
A flash back to that memory can be seen in the movie Hope Floats. (Another something that reminds me of the importance of getting back to the basics - kinda like the song Mayberry from yesterday.) Hopefully my DS, will enjoy the experience as much as I did. Now, to work our schedule out. It's always something isn't it? Will keep you posted!
