grit and hot chocolate

Those are two separate things, by the way.
It's not like I had any grit in my hot chocolate, right?
That would be nasty!
I certainly don't want to cast any aspersions on the maker of the basis of my hot cocoa, as they have a superb product for that drink.
 
All I need is a cup of Silk Dark Chocolate Almond Milk, heated to the perfect degree of sipping warmth, and it's totally satisfying!
That's what I told my first niece when I sent her this photo a moment ago.
Knowing I would be texting her, I specially chose this 'Superhero Miyah' mug, a happy memory of a warm day with her and the littlest girl.
Yes, thoughts of that July day always bring a smile!
(smile!)
What else had I done that brought a smile?
I found a movie on GRIT TV that I'd never seen and, as a bonus, one that starred two men I find quite attractive.
It's a Western, of course, from 1984, so I was surprised that I'd missed seeing "Draw!" on television.
Then I remembered: I didn't have a TV in my little 1-bedroom apartment in the Imperial Beach area of San Diego! 
Hahahaha!
Kirk Douglas was playing cards in Bell City and ran afoul of a man who lost a lot of money to him, leading to a gunfight with several shot and the sheriff dead.
Oops!
The townspeople hire a former gunslinger, James Coburn, to take on the cardshark, but there's a problem: that gunslinger is a drunkard now.
Plus, the cardshark is holed up with the woman who came to his rescue when he was shot by the sheriff, so what to do with her?
I very much enjoyed the movie!!!
So many comedic moments, as well as romantic turns!!!
I'm sure Daddy would have loved this movie.
I'll have to ask Bonnie about it sometime.
I'm sure they would have watched it together. 
(smile!)
