2 more movies, 1 more carolyn!

Here she is, smiling from dinner last night!

I'd suggested OD Crab House after our movie and, as neither of us had been there in about three years, that's where we went!

We could have walked from NCG Cinema, but it truly was too cold for that...

truly!

The temp had already dipped to the 40's.

She loved the prices, by the way, and said she'll be back!

Her shrimp and flounder plate was about $7 less than over at Carey the H.

I was thrilled with my 15-piece fried shrimp basket - such delicately floured seafood, not caked on batter!

I ate every bit of it, too!

Yes, even though I'd gotten the free popcorn for National Popcorn Day!

Carolyn was not yet a member, so she missed out on that.

We have that situation rectified now.

See, she could have had reward points for her ticket and drink purchase.

She'll make sure she does next time!

Like me, she plans to hit all seven in the Rom-Com Film Festival.

Last Monday, we watched a young and tanned Elvis Presley crooning all over Hawaii - very nice!

This time, we had a rambunctious "Girls Trip" to NOLA!

Funny, not one single person talked about beignets during the entire movie - LOL!

Honestly, the two times I went to New Orleans, no one talked about them, either.

True, that was more than 40 years ago... but, still, weren't they a 'thing' back then?

Nope, they were not.

Emeril had not yet made the scene. 

Timing, timing!

Timing - that's important with the weather, too.

A few days ago, yesterday and today were both to start in the mid-to-upper 20's, making for a slow crawl to the upper 40's before a fast drop after sunset.

That's not to say it wasn't still miserably cold in the wee hours both days, because it most def was.

But the sun was able to warm us into the 50's range, so I escaped the house again today, as this is Tina Tuesday.

As I've seen everything new at AMC that I care to see, I widened my scope to this little cinema in my 'hood.

Wonder of wonders, NCG had a movie that AMC did not!

Moreover, it was an animated film with Owen Wilson lending his voice!

Let me say, "Charlie The Wonderdog" may have started as a sketch on an Australian TV show, but the movie has a lot of heart.

It's about a human boy and his beloved Golden Labrador retriever...

but also about an alien queen and her beloved space-exploring pet.

By the end, I was wrapped up in thoughts of my Toffee, my dear, sweet, Heinz 57 dog that I'd first fallen in love with in Panama.

Nothing quite compares to the love for, and of, a pet...

and that was the message in this little movie.

Good music from Bryan Adams, too!
