Wordless Wednesday (“Help”ful Friends Edition)

I love movies, but I don’t actually see many of them, especially within two days of opening night. When my coworker and friend, Beth, said, “Let’s go to The Help,” I started to give my usual “too busy/too much to do/don’t want to spend the money” response but something stopped me …. we had read the book together in book club and had all looked forward to the movie …. and the world was not going to come to a screeching halt if I took a couple hours out of my Friday night to watch a film.

The theatre was packed, and I ended up with my friends (and friends of friends) to my left and a guy named Tony and his wife to my right. I recruited Tony to take our picture; he delegated to his wife. On the second try we ended up with this:

But I really think this “outtake” most effectively captured the spirit of a “fun with friends” night at the movies:

It was a big “help” to my spirits to have a night of “fun with friends”!
I am linking this Wordless Wednesday post up to the Crazy Days of Summer Photo Challenge sponsored by Kristi of Live and Love Out Loud and Alicia of Project Alicia. This week’s theme is “fun with friends”! Next week’s theme is “blue skies.”

    Aw, I'm so glad that you got a chance to go out with friends. You deserve it, Paula. 🙂
    Sorry for being so late to WW. I just realized that you linked this up for Fun with Friends too, didn't you? Cool!
