On July 3rd, Tom and I went to Overland Park, Kansas to see a good friend who was recently diagnosed with cancer. We have know Mary since 1983 and she is like a 2nd mom to us. She is Terri's mom (Terri and Daryl from Denver that I am always talking about). This cancer diagnosis was a total surprise and the doctors give her less than 3 months to live. We wanted to see her and spend some time with her.
Brian was already in Kansas City visiting his friend, Paul and they were going to a see Transformers in the IMAX theatre in Olathe, Kansas so we met them there for a movie. I didn't want to see that movie so I picked Proposal to see. The only theatre was $10 extra for the "Cinema Suites." You paid $10 more but that is for a food voucher. I really didn't know what I was getting myself into. These suites only have 36 RECLINERS in the theatre and you are waited on like a restaurant. I really enjoyed this experience and am now going to have a real hard time going to a regular movie theatre. I was spoiled!!! And the movie was good too!
On Sunday, Kristi wanted to go see Mary one last time since they are moving her to Denver to live with Terri. I don't mind giving up my bedroom at Terri's house for her. So, Alayna, Tom, Kristi, and I went back to Kansas City and spent about 2 hours with Mary, Terri, Courtney (Terri's daughter) and Kane (Courtney's son). We were all laughing and talking like the good old days.
After the hospital, we went to the movie. Kristi and I went to the Suites again and Tom and Alayna went to a "Fork and Screen" showing of Ice Age. They paid $5.00 per ticket more and got the wait staff but no recliners. A recliner is worth the extra $5.00 each.
We had a busy week-end and a hectic week and work. I am so glad it is a quiet week-end this week-end. I am too old for all of this stuff!!!
