Last night Andy and I headed down to the park for movie night here in town. Lynch Park is a beautiful place to be on a summer evening with the ocean breeze to enjoy.
Casablanca was the movie to be shown, or so I thought. I was really looking forward to seeing this movie for the first time. Yup. I have never seen Casablanca. It was time I did something about this.
Popcorn popped, drinks in a cooler, chairs in tow, we made our way to the perfect spot. Andy remarked at how many kids were there for such a movie. I thought that parents must be desperate to see a movie and get out of the house for a bit. Been there. Done that.
We settled in. What a gorgeous night. The moon was shining.

The movie started:

Huh? Where's Humphrey Bogart? Ingrid Bergman? Who is that fish on the screen? Is there a fish in Casablanca? There was to be no "Here's looking at you, Kid?" No "Play it again, Sam".
Nope, Finding Nemo.

And I learned an important lesson last night. If you can't see Casablanca, you may as well watch Finding Nemo.
~for full blog disclosure, the pictures are out of order a bit as you can tell by the degrees of darkness. Whatever.
Knitting came along for the movie but never made it out of it's bag.
Speaking of knitting.
~insert big dramatic sigh here.
Creatures of the reef made some progress. And then not so much. It was a case of 2 rows forward 2 rows backward. It's all knitting. Unknitting lace teaches a great lesson. One that I hope I am done learning but a lesson nonetheless.

Let's all be happy and thankful to be in the company of our family today. That seems extra important right now.
