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.

    I've been wondering if I should add that to my summer to-watch list. I just might, now! thanks!

    This sounds like a lot of fun. We haven't had Netflix in such a long time.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Richard and I have been binge watching this series and LOVE it! It is funny and yet very poignant. I just recommended it to another grandmother.

    I haven't seen these. I read about the series. It looks like a hoot for sure. I should check it out.

    I can't stream Netflix but maybe I will rejoin the mail version and order the series. Sounds like one I would enjoy.

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

    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

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...
