Dunkirk was such an amazing event....what ever one might think of the BRits now
 you have to give them big snaps for bravery during WW2!I want to see that movie! If you don't know what Dunkirk was.....many many British troops were trapped and needed to get across the British channel away from the advancing Germans.....the word went out to the populace in Britain and SO many citizens with boats of all sizes went over at their own risk to pick up the troops and evacuate them. It was a big boost to are demoralized and scared population.     they had to leave their stuff  they got the men to Dover then had to do a big train evacuation to spread them back to their units   history lesson for the day  __________________

Omg they are so good but sooooo sad. I cry through out the whole movie. Im' sure I'll also cry all of Dunkirk. Harry Styles from One Direction is in that movie. I'm curious as to how he would do acting.

Oh, I want to see 'Dunkirk' too it looks awesome. And Harry Styles is in it too (is that One Direction?) I didn't know the story either PodMom but I had heard the name/knew it was an important event of WW2.
I didn't want to watch Schindler's List either - another movie where I didn't really want to see history re-enacted. Saving Private Ryan was such a good movie, probably one of the best movies about war, I think, how crazy it was. (And a young Nathan Fillion has a small part as the 'wrong' Private Ryan they find first, too.) We saw Life is Beautiful but I think that was enough concentration camp movies for me. Although The Great Escape, where they get out of the POW camp in WW2 (soldiers) is a classic! __________________

Oh wow had no idea Harry Styles was in it!
 I didn't recognise him! Seems like he's managed to transition from music to movies well!Oh yeah Saving Private Ryan was a great movie. On a separate note, summer is going by way too quickly! __________________

My daughter Mlette has to find a new apartment by August 1, so I imagine she is starting to get worried! Saw a good prospect; I think she should grab it!
School starts in mid August? I didn't think the kids went back until early September. The teachers have to get the rooms ready etc. You are going to be the BEST teacher, Ekua!  __________________

Yes MyrnaLynne schools in Scotland break up for summer end of June and go back mid August. It's so silly as they go back still in the middle of summer!
 Thank you, you're so sweet!  I'm so nervous but excited at the same time! Also terrifying I'm responsible for 24 little ones!! Hope your daughter finds an apartment soon! It's so stressful! __________________

Harry Styles doesn't look half bad, without that haystack of hair on his head.
