We moved from Orlando, FL to Maryville, TN almost a year ago. We love it here!
When we first moved, my daughter applied for a job at a little place called "The Capitol". She quickly became enamoured by it. It is a Coffee shoppe/Old Movie Theater/Art Exhibit place in the downtown area. I found out you could rent the theater out for private parties, which started my wheels turning.
My favorite movie in all the world is "The Sound of Music". As a little girl, we rarely went to movies, but we did go to this one. And I became obsessed. I talked my Dad into taking me back a dozen times. Even had dreams about Julie Andrews coming to pick me up in a convertible, and we'd go driving through the mountains (of Houston...HA!) as we sang all the songs from the movie together!
We have had the video and DVD for years, but stopped counting viewings after my 50th time. Watching it on TV cannot compare with the big screen.
So a Birthday is a great excuse for a party!
Rented the theater, invited friends, popped popcorn, bought baskets of candy and sodas and had a blast!
A few of us did a "pre-show" full of singing songs from the movie. We sounded pretty good!! Then as the orchestra played, one guy decided to skip gracefully around the room. It was a golden moment...
Here are a few pictures of the Capitol Theater:
This is the last of the "birthday posts". Hope everyone is enjoying your summer. Only a month, and school starts again here. Counting the days (the ones left before school starts, of course...)
I am...
