Reflections on a Marigold Hotel

Raf and I just finished watching “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.” I had wanted to see it ever since it advertising for it began on television. It was thoroughly enjoyable, and it is amazing to me that it was shown in so few theaters in the United States.

The stars of this movie were top notch – are top notch – and you will recognize many of their names even though they are English. There is Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson, Ronald Pickup, Penelope Wilton and Celia Imrie, to name a few. Look them up. You’ll know their faces, if not their names! Many have won top awards for acting, and at least two have been knighted by Queen Elizabeth.

I feel I have to be leery of movies, books, etc. having to do with getting old. At my age I don’t even enjoy jokes about aging, mainly because I don’t feel I’m there yet. I don’t mind my age, but I do mine being made fun of! Even if the one who’s making fun is my age or older.

Reflections on Keeping a Diary
Many of you knew my mother, Rose Ficke Sparks. In fact quite a few of you were taught by her, either at the old junior high that used to be the first high school or at Houston Elementary School.

Reflections on Patience
I had a person whom I don’t know well at all tell me what an impatient person I am. My goodness, I didn’t realize it showed so much to those who do not know me very well; but, of course, she is right. I am. They say patience is a virtue. It is, but, sadly, it isn’t one of mine.

Reflections on My Bible
Recently a friend of mine and her husband drove to New Hampshire to purchase a summer home. Sunday came and, as they had seen an Anglican church close by, they decided to attend. Instead, they ended up going to a Bible church down the street. As they drove up to the church, she turned to her husband and said, “I surely hope they believe in the same Bible we do!”

Reflections on Our Community
There have been several things that have come to mind over the last little bit that I have failed to mention, so I thought I would sort of organize them all into one column.
