This weekend, I watched a good movie and read a good book. Two things I haven’t had much time for lately!
Wimbledon really surprised me. I wasn’t orginally interested because, well, tennis. I mean, how exciting could that be? Pretty exciting as it turns out. By the end I was completely engrossed in the final match and hanging on the edge of my seat over the outcome! It’s not about a ball going back and forth, it’s about life. It’s an engaging romance with the kind of snappy dialog that comes along far too rarely, a great cast of characters, a truly gripping conflict, and very well-done physical comedy. Highly recommend it!
In contrast to Wimbledon’s laughs, Dream on by Jaci Burton made me cry. It’s been so long since a book made me cry I can’t even remember what the last one was; probably “Where the Red Fern Grows”. It’s about grief, faith, hope, and finding your way back to happily ever after when it gets lost along the way. A very good story.
