I wasn't free to go that night as I had a Ladies Friendship night happening where I was teaching the ladies how to make Christmas Bonbons (Crackers).  But a few local businesses sponsored another 3 free showings of the movie, so a girlfriend and I had a girls night out at the movies.  I am going to tell you a little secret - it was the first time for me at the movies here in town, that is in 16 years!!! 

My take on the movie - I walked away feeling like I had watched a feel-good movie.  It wasn't deep, it wasn't powerful, as Pete puts it - it was just a good yarn.  I enjoyed seeing it with a crowd.  It was nice to share the jokes, the Australian attitudes with other people, to be involved with a whole theatre having a laugh!  We were both concerned about the aboriginal spirituality and how it was elevated to be a good thing.  Chrisitians have to be very aware that the spirit world that led these people was not the Holy Spirit.   It had a political story to tell, which in my opinion, is only half the story.  A lot of the movie was filmed around here so the scenery is special to the locals and we picked up things that no-one else will.  I wonder if that is how people usually feel after a movie is made in their home town!  But I thoroughly enjoyed my night out.


Mango Season this year was a little weird; the mangoes came on real slow, not a lot of them, some trees did well, some trees produced nothing.  Here is our biggest mango for the year.
