The Royal Theater...

Mom was talking about the Royal Theater that her Aunt and Uncle owned, in her blog. So I decided to post a picture of it that I have. The building is still there, but it doesn't look like this anymore. Her Uncle George is standing out in front. Mom has a story about a visit to the Theater, maybe she will share it one day.

I'm reading a book where the kids were taken over to the 'Royal Theater' to see a movie. I've even read a couple of books that mentioned my hometown in them, one was by Fannie Flagg. That was always a nice surprise, because my home town is very small. This is in addition to 'Cracker's Mule', this story was based in my hometown, because that is where he spent summers at his grandparents.


Cori has been taking exams this week at school. They were delayed because of the days they missed because of the snow and ice. I picked her up early today after she finished her exams and we rode around some. We finally ended up at IH0P for some apple crepes. While we were there the rain turned to snow...big snowflakes and lots of them. It was fun watching them fall outside the windows. I texted Hubby and told him it was snowing and he texted back and said 'make it stop'...haha. It lasted while we were there, then it stopped. Oh well, at least I got to see some. The waitress asked me if that was Santa Claus on my debit card...Hubby hated the new cards because he thought it looked like Santa Claus and his reindeer...ha.

Now, we are waiting to see if they delay school in the morning because the wet ground will probably ice over.

Take care,
Sheila

  2. I like Fannie Flagg. It is interesting that your hometown is mentioned in the books. I need to read some more.

  3. That is neat about your hometown being mentioned in the books! The theatre looks like some old ones that used to be around here. There's none of them left now. I love to watch it snow. There's nothing more beautiful!

  4. It probably is my age, but I love old pictures. I don't know why the feeling is there, but it is a good feeling. Funny how the theater was always just the 'Show'. ie: 'Did you go to the show last Saturday?'

    I never thought of anyone owning a theater, but I guess someone has to. The family must have had a great time with all the 'free shows'.

    I'm with Hubby, 'Make the snow stop'. ha!

    It is great that you take some time with the girls. Sherry talks so much of the times she spent with her mom. Seems to be very special to a young lady.

    NC closes school fairly often in bad weather, sometime not needed, but the kids don't seem to mind. ha!

  5. It is beautiful here today, so just keep the snow dancing to a minimum. I am going to continue to drop into facebook but no games. It isn't fair to the ones that PLAY. Darn caps.

    I love to see the snow falling.

    I read your Mother's blog very interesting.
    Glad she has decided to write. I am slow

  7. OK enough already. It is cold, windy and we had flurries so stop in your tracks before we get snowed in.

  8. Hi Sheila,
    The "What Is It" you guessed on before was a small mushroom I found in my lawn in the front yard. I zoomed in on it.
