In the basement with my Gramps
Hey people's today I am going to write about something I used to do with my grandfather. Here it goes.
My grandad A.K.A. Gramps has an office in his basement and I remember when I was younger we would watch shows like the Lone Ranger and Hop along Cassidy. We would turn the lights off and bundle up in coats to watch the shows from his television. It seemed like he always had a plastic tub of cookies we would get out to munch on. Down there I watched a few movies too, like Harvey and It's a Mad Mad world. Harvey is a movie about a man and his friend, the giant invisible rabbit, called a Pookah. It's a Mad Mad world is a movie about a bunch a people finding out about a bunch of hidden money from a dying man. The information sparks a crazy adventure where more and more people find out and it turns into a mad race to get to it!
Recently the new Lone Ranger came out and I took Gramps to see it. It was enjoyable but very different from the show I watched as a kid. The Lone ranger wasn't much of a hero. He made all the right choices but he was not the hero type. Most of the time it was Tonto leading around the Lone Ranger, Tonto riding Silver, or Tonto saving the Lone Ranger's but. It was an okay movie but it wasn't the real Lone Ranger. The real Lone Ranger was almost dead, and he got up, Tamed a Horse, forged silver bullets, and put the bad guy in jail. That's why he is considered a classic.
Anyway I just wanted to write about an experience I enjoyed from when I was younger. I also wanted to mention that my Dad's good friend Bill is in the hospital and to please keep him in your prayers. Bye.
