spring fling with a skunk!

Spring Fling?

 

That must be the new Film Festival at NCG Cinema!!!

 

It actually began yesterday and will feature "The Wild Robot" through Thursday.

 

However, thanks to this being a school holiday, Christina and her girls joined me!!!

 

Tickets were just two bucks each - woohoo!!!

As I was leaving home to meet them at the cinema, guess what?

 

My Japanese magnolia started waving her branches to get my attention!

 

I'm glad she did...

or I might not have noticed that she'd donned her very best green dress for this day!

 

She's truly the prettiest green thing ever!

 

And how that brilliant blue sky highlighted how very beautiful she was!!!

 

My first niece was even sporting a bit of green on this St. Patrick's Day...

flashing Groot at me...

and she didn't even know about me channeling that GOTG Guardian for improv!

 

Right place, right time!!!

After the movie, we headed over to Cici's for pizza, more pizza, and dessert pizza!

 

Miyah had a pouch of crayons and markers that she hauled out after she finished eating.

 

Handing a blank piece of paper to me...

thinking me an artist...

she asked, "Would you please draw me a skunk?"

 

So, I sketched the best one I could, starting with the stripe first, then drew the body.

 

She was quite satisfied with that creature!

 

Then she added the big cloud of skunky scent all around it, just as it had in the movie.

 

Very nice!!! 

I'm so blessed to have had this third visit with my first niece and her daughters!

 

As Christina told me before they left, "that should hold you for a while!".

 

She knows how easily I get spoiled.

 

But I'm good for now.

 

I know I have a full week coming up with them at Cypress Pointe just after my birthday.

 

How do I know that?

 

Because I just arranged that with Armed Forces Vacation club -

and I made sure it doesn't start on a Sunday this time.
