Coooooool!!!!  I thought this past week was going to be hot but turned out to be amazing weather!!  Almost every morning was overcast till at least 10 or 11AM and then if it got warm, it was after 1 or 2PM.  But the breezes were so amazing throughout the days so that kept everything so nice.  I am not sure how long this unseasonable weather will last but it was both a nice surprise AND welcome treat for us.  I have no idea where that picture is from but that is what it felt and looked like almost all this past week.

Weekly Update:
I love it when things go wrong ... but in your favor!  I had ordered a couple of games from Box Lunch because they had a sale on certain items for 20% and both of the games I wanted were on that list!  So I ordered them and never received any updates or notifications.  After almost 2 weeks (13 days to be exact), I called the store since if you ship it to a nearby store, shipping is then free.  They said they had it and I told them great, I will come pick it up tomorrow.  So tomorrow being the 14th day, I did not know there was a time limit so that morning they refunded the order but again, no notification.  Luckily the lady I spoke with the day before was the one who helped me and had the items set aside anyway and also gave me an additional discount!  So not only did I get it on sale but then saved an extra few bucks on top of it!

At the movies:
Due to theatres being closed for the time being, no new updates for movies at this time.

The Queen Theatre in Bryan, TX was originally built as a hotel in the 1800's.  In the early 1900's the hotel started showing silent movies on the ground floor and in 1914 was officially given the name The Queen Theatre.  It wasn't till 1939 it was fully converted to a movie theatre and "5th Avenue Girl" with Ginger Rogers was their first official movie.  It still operates as a single screen theatre and events venue.  Can be used for special events and occasions for both public and private use.
