The Roku

 

I have liked  this show very much on those occasions when I have managed to turn the television  on at the right time.  Now, with my ROKU box set up and working, I have been able to watch it from the first episode.  I have watched the first six episodes.  Even though I liked what I watched, it makes so much more sense going in order.

 

The other show I have started watching in Mad Men.

I missed the whole first season.  I watched the rest of it only sporadically.

 

It used to be that if I liked a TV show I knew when it was on and made a point to watch it.  These days it is more…I think I’ll take a break and watch some TV.  I am enjoying being able to pick something I want to watch rather than flicking through channels and then deciding to have a snack instead.

So I give my ROKU box a thumb’s up.

    Yeah, that's my next venture into the technological frontier -- a Roku or Tivo or whatever. Would be great to catch these shows, and put them aside for when you want to watch them.

    I'm a "Mad Men" fan, and B will usually watch along with me. She's a Downton Abbey fan, and I'll usually watch along with her. Between the two of us, we probably watch too much TV!

    I have no idea what ROKU is. Is it a recording system like DVR or on online device?

    Good for you for trying something new. I have been thinking of getting one of these Roku devices. I love the two shows. Have fun!

    I also like Downtown Abbey. Have never watched Mad Men. And am not exactly sure what ROKU is... but am glad you are enjoying yours.

    So glad to hear you like your Roku! Which one did you get? I am still sitting on the fence about getting one but I am starting to get closer to taking the leap to get one and cutting the cable!

    Oh, I love Downton Abbey. I also really like Sherlock.

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

New Furniture

 We went shopping for a new couch. I liked this one, the first store we went to. Of course it would be an impulse to buy the first one so we trekked around to other stores -- something we liked more, a better deal? No surprise that we ended up going back to that first store the next day and purchasing that couch for our living room. Also a matching love seat for the den where we watch TV. Because I had replaced my old love seat with two recliners. We couldn't keep three households worth of furniture after all. Well, my recliner was not big enough to accommodate both Levi and me. Poor boy had to watch TV from his bed on the floor. There! This is much better! Spoiled much? The little tail on the floor belongs to his toy squirrel, Buddy. It's like having a toddler with the need to be picking up toys or risk tripping over them. But his very favorite play thing is that bathmat that can be found anywhere but the bathroom floor.

Walking

 I have always been a walker. Now that I have a high energy dog there is no excuse for not getting out there. And the weather is not an interfering factor here. Early morning and early evening are our preferred times so even when it gets hot we should be okay. We can get quite a long walk going around the neighborhood, greeting neighbors out working in their yards or walking their own dogs. But the landscape changes quickly just beyond the confines of the housing developments. It could be described as natural Florida or as sites of future housing developments. I do prefer the first option. And I really enjoy being out in natural areas so I often opt to head to a nature setting. I would have liked to put a picture here. Unfortunately my iPhone has made a unilateral decision. It will no longer be sending my photos to my computer. Why? I have no idea. However, we may be walking along happily enough -- me listening to the birds or trying to identify wildflowers and other plants while L...
