My hubby and I have something new going on. We have a movie night. Not just any movie night, we go to our bedroom.
What is the big deal you ask? We don’t have a t.v. in our bedroom.
Before you wonder what kind of blog are you reading – I assure you this is “G” rated.
We set up the ironing board and set up our portable DVD player on it. Yes, we seem to get a little hillbilly at times.
Let’s just say times are tough and this feels like a vacation. Don’t spoil my movie night – we like a little “fun” and diversity in our lives. (Honestly for the first few years of our marriage we didn’t own a t.v. so this is truly a blessing.)
Tonight we were watching our movie and I saw lights coming from our office which is by our bedroom. We thought at first it was our eldest son, but when we called his name, he didn’t answer. My hubby was actually closer but he had our baby laying in his arms who had just fell asleep. I said, “I’ll look.” When I peeked out the curtain, I saw people with flashlights in our back yard. Did I mention I was already in my nightgown?
I yelled lightly “Get out of bed! There is someone out there! Should I call the police?” Then my husband answers “It is the police.” I’m scrambling to put clothes on.
It turns out, we left our front gate open and they were looking for suspects in our neighborhood. They thought that maybe they had gone in our back yard.
No one that we know of went back there. We are safe! We all need a little excitement in our lives once in a while. Now on to the movie…
Blessings to you! You are loved!

I borrowed a portable DVD player for a recent trip I took and I loved it. It kept me entertained during a very long airport layover. I specifically bought a couple of movies to watch and plugged in my headphones and the time just flew.
I think it’s a really cute idea.
I’m so happy you’re back blogging! I can picture you guys with the DVD player and ironing board. Sounds like you guys might be comfy in my neck of the woods 😉
Glad the whole police thing turned out ok, that’s kind of scary!

That would have scared the crud out of me! I hope they find the suspects!
Were you able to sleep after that?
What an exciting evening.
Hey- we are all vacationing at home and it makes sense to me!
I enjoyed visiting,

eeek…how scary. I would’ve been scared stiff esp to know they were looking for suspects.
PS Did you manage to actually enjoy the movie after all that excitement…I guess nothing’s as much fun as it all happening real life!!
