I know, it’s been too long, I haven’t been keeping up my end of the deal.  And this post is incomplete and late, but I thought better that than another week of nothing.  So, my apologies, I’m trying to improve, and here at least are matches for United and Market Street West Texas.  Items in green are bonus ticket items for the Summer Collect & Win game.

• Buy 1 pkg. of Ball Park franks
• Buy 1 8-oz. pkg. of Food Club shredded cheddar cheese
• Get 1 pkg. of Hearth of Texas hot dog buns

This weekend marks the release of the final Harry Potter film. While I am not really a “super fan”, nor was I an early adopter, this event saddens as much as excites me. I’m certainly looking forward to the new movie, with the bittersweet edge of knowing there will never again be a midnight release party.

Lucky for me, we have an independent theater nearby that enjoys such events as much as I do. By “nearby” I mean 20 miles away, unfortunately, because our truly local theater is not up and running. It’s still an old-school, small-town theater, locally owned, and operated enthusiastically. If you have one near you, I heartily recommend skipping the multi-plex at least once in a while and help keep the historic old theaters that remain, alive. But I digress…

We are enjoying Potterfest this week. Each day there is a double feature, showing all 8 movies in 4 days, ending of course with the midnight premiere of the final movie Thursday night. Free “wizard corn” (flavored popcorn), party favors, free candy, contests, door prizes, and a full feast Thursday before the last two shows. And all of this for the mere few who were able and willing to sign up for the week-long festival. Today, between Azkaban and Goblet, each of us was given a watch (yes, really), and one of a selection of toys. Between myself and B and C (poor A is at camp this week, only able to go Thursday night), we got a Time-Turner, a Horcrux locket, and a collapsible wand.

I can’t wait to see what else our local theater-master has in store this week. And if you’re not a Potter fan, well, sorry for the interruption. I’m just having a lot of fun this week.
