When you are retired you don't have to wait for the weekend to do the things you used to do on Saturday. So on Monday Karen and I (otherwise known as Amma and Grannie) ventured into the great metropolis of Hamilton, Ohio. We were searching for new things to try and counting on old favorites.
The first stop was lunch at Bob Evans where we both had egg beater vegetable omelets and ice tea. The egg substitute was like yellow rubber and both of us decided not to get that again. But after a quick rest room break we went out to a new experience shopping on the Main street before the bridge.
Here we found a used bookstore with no Spanish/English dictionaries and no old copies of Nancy Drew or Judy Bolton books. They did have some old Agatha Christie's and even a small collection of Horatio Alger books though. We also found a Bargain Bungalow Shoppe that we explored and found nothing of interest but a china or maybe paper machet fish. As we left we decided that just shopping there made us smell like mildew so we will not try that shop again.
Now at 4:45 It was time for the main event. Drum roll please. "Man of Steel" was the movie and it was in 3D. We put our black rimmed 3D glasses on and watched as a young boy, Clark Kent, learned that he has extraordinary powers and was not of this Earth. As a young man, he journeyed to the North pole and beyond to discover his origins and his purpose. Then in very loud music and strange sort of transformer like action the hero in him emerged and he saved the world yet again from annihilation. Finally Superman became the symbol of hope for all mankind. My opinion, I like Samllville better and Tom Welling is way more attractive then Henry Cavill. But you choose; what do you think?
The evening was just beginning but being over 60 the two of us called it a day and came home to cook healthy dinners and relax.

The Aviator's Wife is the story of Anne Morrow Lindberg. It is a novel but it seems to me that it tells her story very well. I recommend it to anyone looking for a good book. The emotions the author reveals the first time Anne flies are so real and when the baby is kidnapped you long for him to be found. It also portays the life style of the rich and famous very well. You almost hate the public for wanting to know about them.
