"August: Osage County" - The Movie

We needed one more rainy day to catch a movie at the mega theater in Market Commons. We got it and chose to see Julia and Meryl, along with an amazing supporting cast. What a film. It's hard to fathom the level of human dysfunction that unfolded in this story, albeit accompanied by endless laugh-aloud moments to enhance the touching tale. Each diva gave an Oscar-worthy performance.
Please see it.
Travinia, an upscale Italian restaurant in the Commons, came highly recommended to us. There are well over a thousand restaurants in this neck of the woods and we've not hit a bad one yet. I must say, though, that my choice of capellini and shrimp at this particular hotspot possibly bumped all others dishes, earning the position of Number One Favorite. And Joe. Hilarious! I think he sighed after each bite of his meaty pasta creation. It's gonna be tough to go back to a chicken salad sandwich from the Miss Monti diner, when the mood to go out to lunch strikes.

After all this, the sun broke through the clouds, just in time for an exquisite sunset (next post). We're ready for our last day here, before departing on Thursday. It promises to be another beach day.
