One reason for a cellphone!

Tonight, my friend Marilyn and I went to go see the movie, "Memoirs of a Geisha". It is based on a book set in Japan around World War 2 and a few years before that. It was in a smaller theater and we didn't arrive earlier enough to sit in the main section of the theatre - ended up on the top row of the front section. Luckily, it was english speaking and not in subtitles. I didn't have to concentrate on the words and watching the film at the same time. I haven't read the book so I can not tell you if they followed it closely, but it was a good drama. Our excitment came after the movie. We were going to meet up at Tim's for tea on MacLeod Trail, just down from the theatre. I remembered it by Wendy's - well that "Tim's" is now called Kinjo Restaurant. I am now in a pickle - how do I get a hold of Marilyn to see where she is? Keeping it short - after leaving messages on each other's voice mail - we finally connected back at her place. I had ended sitting in my car in front of her house for like 25 minutes praying that she would come home soon safe and sound. I wonder if any neighbours were wondering what I was doing. Well, two people could not be happier to see each other - gave each other a huge hug in her driveway making sure we were really and in one piece. Marilyn and I went into the house and had our tea. As we told each side of the story of trying to meet and have coffee at Tim's - we had plenty of laughs. Thank goodness we can laugh about - I am sure we gave each other heart failure worrying about our safety. What is that saying (modified) - Your not in Thunder Bay anyone! Calgary is expansive and getting more so by each waking moment - it is time to get with the times and get a cellphone. It is a good idea esp for day trips to the mountains or drives to Three Hills or times where I am alone driving and something happens. Have a good weekend everybody! (ps. Haven't taken any recent photos so that is why it is more journalling than photos lately).
