The big event of this weekend was Lucinda and Deb's visit. We had a great dinner with them at Spaghetti Factory on Friday night, along with Annette and Walt and my parents.
Sunday afternoon/evening was Kinney Family Picnic II. This time it was the smaller, rainy edition. We didn't let the rain dampen our spirits though. At least Mason didn't. This is the ultimate in recycling - a weed hat.
It cooled off so much that we had to bust out the coffee. Uncle Ron enjoys a cup of Papa Ron's finest brew.
Three ladies - Annette, Yaya, and Jean. Note the blanket Yaya is sporting. It was cold and rainy.
Siena's dinner. Fruit and vegetables. And a bun with no meat. Yum.
Mother and daughter - Annette and Lucinda keeping out of the rain.
Mom, Jean, and Deb having dunch - Yaya likes to do meals at 3 or 4 PM so not sure what this meal was.
Papa Ron the horsie!
This was the angriest face I could conjur up. Not for any particular reason. Doesn't look too intimidating, does it. Mostly pinched like Renee Zellweger but without the cuteness.

Mom and I had a girls date today. We had lunch at Pioneer Courthouse and went to see a movie (to be reviewed below). It was a nice, relaxing afternoon. Its nice to spend time with grown-ups once in a while.
Movie review:
My One and Only: This is the movie Yaya and I went to this afternoon. Both of us are Zellweger fans so this was an easy choice. It was also more of a chick flick than we knew our husbands would be interested in. The jest of the movie is that Ms. Zellweger is the mother of 2 teenage boys who left her cheating husband (Kevin Bacon) in search of another husband to keep her and the boys kept. Course a lot happens, but its essentially a coming of age movie and nice story. My recommendation would be that for ladies - must see. Men - send your ladies.
Milk: I can see why this was nominated for an Academy Award. Had it not been up against Slumdogs, it should have won. Other than Slumdog, this is the best movie I've seen in a year. There is really no flaw. True story, well told, great pace, great acting. Absolute must see. Unequivocal Cousin Craig.
Meet Bill: Here's the loser of the group. Had they not mucked up the ending so much, it might have ranked at least a tolerable. Luis wasn't crazy about all the pot smoking. I just hated the ending. It felt like a movie that had been done before, and recently. And better. This one ranks an unequivocal don't bother.

You don't look angry. It's more of a pout face like you're about to throw a tantrum because your mom made strawberry jello instead of lime, and it's past your bedtime and you've had a big day so you're tired and cranky.
You should start calling the movie review section: Movies My Cousin Craig Will Never See.
Hey look Lucinda!
