The Penn State Master Gardners of Centre County Cooperative Extension hosted a garden tour on Sunday, so we spent a good part of the day driving around looking at the horticultural highlights of the area. If the idea of dozens of pictures and videos of greenery swaying in the breeze bores you, then I suggest you wait patiently for my future post on the delicacies found at Sheetz (and you’ll want to stick around for that stuff — believe that.)

So, up here in Cult-Land, Sunday afternoon was supposed to be stormy, so we opted for the $5 matinee at the 3-screen moviehouse in town. The boys are napping today before heading into town to paint pottery, so I figured I’d steal a bit of wi-fi while Missy headed into town for a little bit of peace.


WALL-E was the matinee, and I’ve got to say we enjoyed it. If anything, though, I was much happier with the bits that were just WALL-E and EV3. While the dialogue was fine, the bits without talking were a bit more creative.


The boys loved it. The roach, especially, was a big hit.


It’s a tough movie to review, especially the first week, without giving away any spoilers. Good, good, flick, but honestly a bit depressing when you get right down to it. The kids didn’t really didn’t understand the dark bits, which is good. But if you can, as an adult, make it through the movie without squirming at least a little bit, you’re an unfeeling hulk. Made me want to run, recycle, and dig in the dirt.
