Still adjusting...

[dreamflower]

To smalltown life and Oklahoma--

Smalltown life has advantages and disadvantages, sometimes in the very same package. To wit: There is only *one* movie theater in town, and it is so old that it still shows only *one* movie at a time. On the other hand,the price is a bargain. It used to cost the DH and I $14 bucks just for admission for the two of us in Gulfport, and popcorn and drinks were exorbitant, to put it mildly. Here, it's $10.75 for two tickets, a large popcorn and two drinks!

However, when we got there, we discovered the 7PM show had run late. So those of us who were waiting in line to get our tickets had to stand *outside* in the cold for over a half hour, while the small staff cleaned the theater. There was not even anyone in the box office to sell the tickets! Anyway, "Alvin and the Chipmunks" was fun!

And Oklahoma weather? The forecast: High tomorrow, 72, Tuesday--snow!

Anyway--off to church now!

I can imagine it would be a big adjustment.

It's very strange! I don't know when I'd last seen a theater that only showed one movie before we moved here--golly, more than 30 years, I know!

wow, that would be weird!

And what weirdo weather! :D

Man the weather here is whacko! When we had snow last week, I went out and made a snowman--and then the sun came out, and it was almost completely melted just a few hours later.

Thanks for this small-town snippet. I'd like to hear more as you have the time.

It really is something. Another thing is when I'm out, and I will overhear the conversations between people--like today when we ate out, one of the waitresses and one of the costomers obviously had known each other all their lives, and they were just gossiping away! Everyone knows everyone--except us.

Wow, that's a great price. It costs me that much to go to a matinee and get a small soda and that's with a senior discount. Guess my town's quite a bit bigger than yours. And our theater has nine screens.

I know! It's hard to believe, isn't it?
