The Odd Life


With a group of new Houston friends, I pottered along today for a coffee, cake and movie morning.  It is such a simple pleasure to sit and chat with people, introducing yourselves, and learning about each other and life's experiences.  Everyone has a story to tell.  As did the morning's movie choice - The Odd Life of Timothy Green.  What a fabulous heart warming story.  Simple yet really quite poignant.  Its essentially about a childless couple desperate for children.  They bury a little wooden box full of things written down on pieces of paper that they believe their child would have been like. As in all things Disney, miracles happen and that miracle is Timothy who is not what he seems.  Predictable but also a good feel story!  A great morning movie following a great cup of coffee, cake and conversation.
