Mamma Mia

I saw Mama Mia last night, and I loved it. I did cringed when Pierce Brosnon sang, no question about that. But it certainly didn't ruin the movie for me. In fact, I giggled. It made the story more believable, I guess. I "grew up" listening to Abba. By that I mean, I remember my Mom had the records...I remember my friend Kristen and I used to put on Dancing Queen and Super Trooper and let her rip! Dancing it up. I SO want to go out and purchase a Greatest Hits album. The soundtrack for Mamma Mia would be pretty fun too. Scott would have seen it with me, but definitely more fun with the girls. Good times.

A few weeks ago, I was driving out of our neighborhood. Down the street and a couple corners later, I saw a group of neighbors gathered out in the yard. Ho Hum, I missed my neighbors/neighborhood. I loved going out to chat with everybody in the evening, or the morning for that matter. A few years ago, during one of the so called hurricanes, we had fun bonding while we all hunkered down to await the storm. We had "team meetings" every few hours to make sure everybody was doing okay. It was the calm before the storm. Nothing too terrible happened. I think the only injury happened to Hayden the next day when a tree limb fell from the roof and scratched his little face. It was good times, work was called off and so was school for a few days. I even shared some sugar out of food storage for a cookie "emergency". Somebody needed some sweets.

I tell you this for a couple reasons, first Edward just came and went, leaving Houston pretty much untouched. And second, because the other night we had some new neighbors over to eat. They are right next door. A youngish married couple/no kids. We had a great time getting to know them better. I figured we better start really getting to know all these new neighbors, I want somebody to chat with at the bus stop! I made this Betty Crocker treat for dessert. I have made it before and it's terribly good!!!!!!!!! Pretty darn easy too.
