London Has Fallen

We all had a pretty full day yesterday from working on decks, exercising and creating to enjoying a late lunch and a movie.  It was suppose to be a rainy day but it ended up being a beautiful Spring day with sun and warm temperatures.  The wind was in the right direction for working on the decks and in the Crafty Cottage.  Tim was busy adding another section of the new deck while George was busy redoing his deck that held the hot tub.  Soon it will be another nice deck to enjoy more beautiful views.  Lisa decided to take a really long walk and did over 7 miles; way to go Lisa!  I spent the day making my Easter Cards to be sent out soon.  The Crafty Cottage was warm until I opened up the windows and then I had a great breeze that kept me cool but made it a little difficult to keep the papers I was working with from flying all over. 
Lisa and I both received emails from Ruby Tuesday for a Buy one get one Cheeseburger that was only good for two days.  So, we decided to take advantage of the coupon and since we were in town anyway to also go see a movie.  The cheeseburger was delicious and very filling.  We figured the restaurant would be fairly busy with the two day coupon but we got there mid afternoon so it was in between rushes.  We then headed over to the Newport Cinema and saw the movie, "London Has Fallen".  It was a good movie and very action packed.  It is a sequel to "Olympus Has Fallen" but you do not have to see the first movie to see this movie.  It is a totally different movie except the characters are the same.  The President of the United States is attending a State Funeral in London when a terrorist group works on kidnapping him.  Luckily his faithful Secret Service agent is with him and working hard on keeping him safe.  There are a few twists in the movie that at the end leads to a surprise.  If you like action films and just want a couple of hours of forgetting about things then this is the movie to see. 
We did have a great experience while driving up our road on our return to the farm.  We came across a big deer on our neighbor's driveway.  This neighbor is never around, it is a vacation property for him, so his land is a great place for deer to live.  This deer was huge and did not seem to be afraid of us at all.  Tim even backed the car up so we could all see it.  The deer stood in one place for a while so I could take some pictures with my phone.  Unfortunately  the picture is grainy but it does show the deer and how big it was.  A nice way to end a nice day.
Today is St. Patrick's Day and this will be a quiet one for us.  I am not a fan of corned beef and cabbage or green beer so I will be celebrating by just wearing green.  When I was a little girl St. Patrick's Day was kind of a big deal especially living in Chicago wear the Chicago River turns an Spring green color and one of the best St. Patrick's Day parade is held.  It wasn't a school holiday but I remember watching the parade on TV in school.  My maiden name is Colley and we always thought it was an English name but my brother did some research several years ago and found out it was actually Irish so now St. Patrick's Day has a little more meaning to it.  Happy St. Patrick's Day!
