"Persuasion"

Last Friday night three dear friends came over for supper, cake, and a movie. Oh, and we talked a LOT!

The friends brought an amazing cake.  Can't remember the name, but it was chocolate with crunchy  peppermint and a whipped cream/white chocolate frosting between the layers.  OH MY LANDS!!!  Talk about yummy!  We only ate some supper so we didn't pass out from all the sugar. 

After supper and talking we had the enormous task of picking a movie to watch.  Since I couldn't find the new movie I wanted to watch at Wal-Mart, we just sifted through the piles of dvd's and vhs tapes I have in my collection.  We narrowed the field down to the newest version of "Jane Eyre"  and an older version of  "Persuasion". 

"Persuasion" was the choice.  I've read the Jane Austen book.  I've seen this movie several times, but it always seems new to me.  I do remember, however, that I love this movie!  I know it's only a movie and a work of fiction of a woman who lived over a hundred years ago, but there's just something about it that hits home.

It could be the homely lead character Ann!  Where's my Captain Wentworth???

HAHA
