A few things...

Yea!!! I have correct guesses in Contest #2! Congrats to Penny and Sra for being the first two to guess correctly. I will be sending out your bookmarks tomorrow! And thanks to all who participated! There will be another contest sometime soon. I just need some cooler weather to blow in and clear out the cobwebs in my mind.

Yesterday I saw Mamma Mia for the 4th time. (Don't hate me for this...please...allow me this one indulgence.) This is one of those movies that I could watch over and over because of how much it makes me laugh. The best part is that I've seen it with different people every time so I got to watch others enjoy the movie...I love that!

Individual ice cream treats in the summer are one of my favorite things about living in Turkey. I know they have them in America as well, but we never did indulge much. Here we walk to the store just to get ice cream on a regular basis. When I was in junior high I remember riding my bike to the Stop N Go at the edge of my neighborhood to get ice cream treats. I wonder where the closest convenience store is to our new house.

More later...

I finally got my sis to go with me after she got the kids asleep and left them with her eldest. It was the late show and there were like a dozen pair of women in the theatre. Such a good movie! I will buy it when it comes out on DVD.
