Win Win

As we left this morning, BGWLBH noticed a Hawk sitting on the water tank, so we stopped and I climbed out of the car with my camera and tried to get a couple of shots.

The original Hawk flew off before I could get a good shot, but BGWLBH noticed the other one perched at the base of the tank near the rusted hole.

Apparently they nest inside this tank.  I wish I could climb up there to see if there is a nest inside.  I imagine that there might be because these two hawks are constantly hunting out in the open fields beside the farm.

We started with brekky at Maccas.

We played bingo and I won twice!  I took a photo of the two ladies with whom we sit.  'A' and 'F'.

They gave us a detailed description of the habits and traits of quite a few of the people who play bingo regularly as well as the bingo caller.  Clearly, they don't like the current bingo caller.  They liked the old bingo caller better.

'F' is a very nice lady whose 11 year old son was murdered in 1984 - the year we came to live in this town.  She talks openly about it and she struggles every day with the memories.

Thankfully, the guilty man was caught, so she has some closure, but my heart aches for her and I can't imagine having to live with those kind of memories.

She is now a very proud Great Grandmother and also brags about her other grown son who has a successful career in the Army.

So, these days, she has much joy in her life with a close and loving family.  What a blessing.

She always gives me the longest, warmest hug when I come to town.  It's nice :D

After we left bingo, we went to the movies.

At the last minute, we changed our mind and decided to watch 'The Hunger Games'.

Excellent movie.  As Vegan Chickie rightly states ... "It's so nice to have a strong female character in the lead role for a change."

There are a few movies that we would like to see over the coming days.

'The Avengers'
'Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close'
'Battleship'
'The Lucky One'

and coming soon ...

'Dark Shadows'
'The Five Year Engagement'
'Men in Black III'
'Snow White and the Hunstman'
'The Dark Knight Rises'

Anyway, it's been a Win Win kind of day today.  Got a couple of good photos.  Won a couple of prizes.  Watched a good movie.  Cooked a delicious dinner.

Time for bed.

Nite all.
