Monday Movies Music Moves Me

Last weekend I had some tasty treats. R and I checked out Robert Timms at Wheelock place with  C my secondary school classmate. It has been an awful long time since I met up with her. The last time I saw her was went Doggie boy was born and it was great to catch up and find out how she has been doing for the past few years. While catching up with her I indulged myself in some tasty deserts and finger food.

Yummy dessert

Chocolate Molten Bundt with toffee topping served with a side of vanilla ice-cream.

This dessert tasted heavenly. I like how moist the chocolate cake was and the vanilla ice-cream really complimented it.

fries

French fries in a vase.

This is a really neat idea. Now I have an excuse to bring out the vase to use as a holder for chips and remind R how lovely it would really look if there were flowers inside it .** Big Hint**

 

It’s amazing how  our paths have changed since we graduated from school. After leaving secondary school we have pursued our various interests and embarked on our career paths. Some of us have become bankers, teachers, architects. Some of us have gotten married and have kids while others remain single.

A lot of changed the past 20 years since we were secondary school students and our ideals and priorities have altered over the ages. It was really great to have her still a part of my life.

 

Have you met up with any old friends lately?

This week the theme is on music from movies. I’m choosing a theme song from one of Jay Chou’s Movie.

The Tales of Old Green Eyes by Cathy Kennedy

Tale of the Old Green Eyes
The Tale of Ole Green Eyes by Cathy Kennedy is a story about two sisters and their adventures while staying with their grandparents over the weekend.  The story is based  on a story told to Cathy by her husband’s grandmother, grandma Sarah.

 

During their stay with their grandparents, Brittany and Nicole  learned about the  story about the panther- Old Green Eyes from their  great grandma. They were intrigued by the story that she told and how great grandma and her sister barely managed to escape from the panther back then when they went out to fetch a pail of water.

The sisters too had their own encounter with what they thought to be Old Green Eyes when they were out walking in the mountains the next day. Luckily for them it was the cat with the green eyes Mischief instead of a real panther which their great grandmother encountered back then.

My thoughts

I found this tale a rather light- hearted read about a visit and stay over at the grandparents house. The story was a bit shorter then I have expected as I was looking forward to more development of the plot. I didn’t really like the graphic as I found it a bit too serious for a children’s storybook.   The book will make a good  bedtime story read for elementary age kids.
