****************
Finally watched "The Incredibles" last night-loaned to us b
y a friend. Cute movie. Not sure it lived up to all the stellar reviews I received on it-but it was enjoyable.
Speaking of movies....Growing up we had lots of Bing Crosby records (LPs and 78's) in the house. One of our favorites was series which had the songs he sang in the movies. Each of these LPs would have the songs from 2-3 movies. 
We had 3 or 4 of the set. I think there may have been one or two we didn't have. We had seen some of the movies-which are among my favorites: Pennies from Heaven and Mississippi (picture on the left)-both for the movie and the music. Some of the movies we never saw. My Dad and Mom were pretty selective. Now I know why. I saw Double or Nothing and Waikii Wedding (both of which were included in the LP set we had) recently. Both were okay, with some great songs (The Moon Got in my Eyes, Its the Natural Thing to Do, and Sweet is the Word for You) , but not up to the standard of the former two mentioned-and both had at least slightly objectionable material for kids.
You keep learning how smart your parent were.
Have a good weekend.
Our Lady of Joyful Hope-pray for us! ... Oremus pro invicem!
