At the New Year's Eve party, the Flamingo Mommas decided that we need to get out more! At Bible Study we are doing the Bible Study and don't take the time to "just chat" (well, every so often we do "just chat", but it's not the norm!). We love to CHAT, so we decided to get out more and have time for simple fellowship... and food (because that's how we roll!)
So, Thursday night, on the brink of impending ice and snow, we hit the local theater for a night with Walt and PL Travers after enjoying soup, salad and sandwiches at McAlister's. Saving Mr. Banks was GREAT! We laughed and cried!
Mary Poppins is in my top 5 all-time favorite movies, so seeing the background story of the author and movie-making process was incredible! I loved seeing the Sherman brothers tinker out a now classic, iconic song. When Mrs. Travers started tapping her foot to a song after days of anger and hostility, I cheered! And seeing Mrs. Travers early life for heart-breaking... yet delightful. To see her imagination bloom, then see anger and resentment come into her heart was sad. But overall, it was a great movie that I cannot wait to see with Jason when it comes out on video!
For four south-Texas coastal Birds, it was COLD when we left the theater, but in true Flamingo fashion, we had to stop for a photo! hahahaha
