There is No Going Back - This is between us, the Wizard and Me.

Holy Guacamole I left the house on New Year's Eve.  My granddaughter has wanted to see the new Wicked Movie, Part 2 (even though I don't think she understands anything but the pink dresses). Their household is finally over the flu and her mother found a 9:50 am showing in another city and off we went.

We bought tickets and popcorn and paid the extra for the pink and green sprinkles.  The ladies told me the pink tasted like candy and the green tasted like spinach. 

Yes. This movie is TWO HOURS and SEVENTEEN MINUTES long. But that did not count the 30 minutes of previews. It was a long movie but kept our attention.


The city we traveled to has a wide variety of restaurants for lunch. The ladies voted on Bob Evans and chose their favorite "Piggy Pancakes". 


They decided they wanted ice cream sundaes for dessert and my daughter the math teacher told them they would need to solve a problem to earn it. 


They worked as a team and earned the sundaes! 


We were home by 2 p.m. and the snow started at 3 p.m. The Merrys spent a quiet night eating snacks and watching PBS shows as I renewed our subscription for Christmas. Somehow I had let it expire.  I started with season one of the Frankie Drake mysteries. I have seen at least the first season before, but wanted to start at the beginning.  

Today Mr Merry has been out with his snowblower doing the sidewalks in the neighborhood and clearing off vehicles for people he likes, lol.  I have been sitting in my recliner with a blanket since breathing outdoor air has brought my cough back.  

Happy New Year!

  1. Happy New Year! You probably got more snow than we did, being closer to the lake. It sounds like a lovely time and I'm glad the movie was worth it!

  2. Happy New Year Miss Merry! I must admit I am not a wicked fan in the slightest, but it was so nice seeing your pretty family here- and those piggy pancakes looked really tasty! I'm glad you were able to get out and have a fun evening, I'm sorry about the cough, you've got to be careful my friend. Anyway, glad to hear from you! 🙂
