Afternoon Movies, Happy Memories

Anyone who knows me will know I have a bit of a Disney thing going on, not in a weird I dress like Tinkerbell thing, but Disney World is my Happy Place and I'm lucky enough to have been twice. One of the favourite things to do in our house on an afternoon off is to veg out on the sofa and watch movies and even though we have DVDs, most of the time we stick with whatever is on telly. So sitting down this afternoon I was very happy to find the film Cars on. Its one of my favourites. I also have a bit of a car thing and sometimes wistfully think of doing a Route 66 road trip or maybe the California Coast Highway, bypassing the highway and sticking to smaller roads, finding long forgotten American towns that only exist in my head on the way.On our last trip stateside I had bought my OH a Nascar driving experience as a birthday pressie and when I see the racing on Cars, it makes me smile and remember him whizzing round at 140mph with a big grin on his face. I still hear the loud rumble of the engines as our son and I watched, lurching from being half terrified he might crash to hugely excited as he went faster and faster. So this afternoon I am snuggled down on the sofa, with the cat, watching Cars, and remembering happy times xx
