Binge Watch

I pay a fair amount to the cable company, but when I want to watch TV I turn to Netflix more and more.  The latest in my to-watch queue is a Netflix series...Grace and Frankie.
Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Sam Waterston, and Martin Sheen.

Remember the old series Thirty Something?  This is like Seventy Something.

The two men, who are long time law partners, announce that they want to be life partners as well.   The women, their wives of forty years, and who never actually got along all that well, end up sharing a house as they adjust to being single.   Lily Tomlin is a hoot.  Jane Fonda fits her part.  And there are no commercials.

  4. We haven't joined Netflix either, at least yet. We already pay so much for our cable service. I hear, though, that many younger people are forgoing cable all together and just downloading programs from the Internet.

  5. It's true. My son and his wife just recently gave up cable in favor of Netflix. They say they are saving money and haven't regretted the change at all.
    Grace and Frankie, huh? I'll have to see if I can find that somewhere.

  7. I don't know what I would do without Netflix and Acorn. I turn off my TV on Friday night and don't turn it back on until Sunday night or even Monday. I wish I could just do without it altogether, but I know I'd miss all the news programs and some of the cable shows. We did get rid of HBO, which helped. Grace and Frankie got better as it went along. I hope there's a second season.

  8. Just wish we had Netfix in South AFrica - this series sounds right up my street. Will surf the net..... we also pay a lot for satellite TV here - very often nothing good to watch!

  14. That sounds like an interesting show. With Tomlin in it, it is almost guaranteed to be a hoot. Great actor.

  17. Yes!! I've only watched four episodes so far, but I am hooked. I love netflix. Can't give up cable because of sports (football american and european) and other things, but more and more my go to TV shows are no Netflix. I also recommend Bloodline, Luther, and the Midsomer murders just for a start

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
