Yesterday was consumed by a sewing project I was determined to complete. I did and it feels good. Today we decided we wanted to see the movie,
J Edgar. It took some time to find a theater. The only one we found was in Sedona. So, we made our first trip there. We are both so glad we had to go there. We would not have wanted to miss Sedona and the Village of Oak Creek. I can't begin to describe it. It was beautiful, too beautiful. It came close to looking like someone carved the mountains and then painted the layers. Then somebody else had to plant all the dark green trees. The houses are a lot like Santa Fe. Few colors are allowed. All buildings, residential and commercial, were of the adobe style. However, the way they situate the buildings into the hills is very unique and very appealing. As you go through the valley to get to Oak Creek and Sedona, it's just typical desert. Then suddenly you are "slapped" in the face, figuratively with this spectacular scenery. It was another one of those days where we ran out of adjectives. This area saves money on traffic lights by putting in roundabouts. The theater was at the 9th roundabout!! We were dizzy by the time we found it. Now a word about the movie. The theater was packed with old folks like us. And that's because you have to be this age to understand what a devious and powerful man J Edgar Hoover was. And the rumors that surrounded him were true. The acting was great and the makeup was incredible. It is definitely a must see. Like all Clint Eastwood directed movies, it is long, but well worth sitting through.
