Speaking of Movies...

Look what Papa Rooster did with one of his days of Christmas vacation!


One of our neighbors gave us these seats which he got from an old school. (He had used them in his basement for home theater seating until he upgraded to the really cushy wide ones that recline.) These have the little lift-up table thingies and everything--perfect for mid-movie snacks.


Papa Rooster isn't usually the weekend handyman type, so this was quite a project for him to take on. He did a fabulous job--he even laid the carpeting himself!


And now we have seating for the whole Henhouse family, plus guests! Bring on the movie nights!

(No, that's not an abstract art in the window--just colorful fleece pillows we shoved up there for wintertime insulation.)

Now tonight, we are seating my parents, brother, sister-in-law and all our kiddos to watch sports! (--besides the Olympics, not such a common Henhouse activity). My dad is a lifelong Buckeye fan, and my brother has completely converted my Florida-born sis-in-law so that she's more passionate than I am about Ohio State. But let's face it, football just isn't a big interest of mine. Sorry, Dad.

Our Hero and Mrs. A joined us for the first half, but we rode him out of town when he revealed that he was rooting for Texas, the Big Twelve team. (He is such a loyal Cornhusker fan that he has worn red socks every day since I first met him back at Wheaton College.) Sorry, Mrs. A.

And if I'm rambling now, it's because I'm trying to write and watch a football game at the same time, and things don't look so great for Ohio State. Sorry, everyone.
