chit chat EVERYONE WELCOME

I am so happy I have seen the early maples , showing tiny patches of color, among the green leaves

It reminds me ,fall is not far off, and the oppressive heat will be gone in a few weeks. Autumn is my favorite time of the year ,and I think the most beautiful

Fall and winter clothing are my favorites too.

We are off later today, to see Christopher Robin. We saw the new Mission Impossible film, last week. It was touted to be the best one so far. I can't vouch for that , Its the first one I have seen . Not much of a story, and what there was was sort of hokey, as far as I am concerned, but its all fantasy to begin with, so I don't knock off points for that. There were a lot of chase scenes and violence. It didn't stop a family from bringing a baby and a 6 year old to see it. The 6 year old talked through the entire film and the parents never told him to be quiet one time.

I hope we have a good film season coming up, I enjoy the movies, and its a cheap form of entertainment for us

@cherryWhat a lovely post for Friday! Enjoy Christopher Robin. Sometimes we need a little fantasy in our lives. Hope today's movie is quiet and enjoyable for everyone in the theater.

This is our City's "First Friday of the Month Art Walk" in the art gallery area of downtown. Always such a fun and interesting time with a mix of friends from over the years, art for sale in each gallery, and restaurants/bistros at their busiest. Have been going with friends for about 40 years (except in the bitterly cold weather). Used to buy; now enjoy looking and visiting with young and upcoming artists. They are ambitious, socially adept, independent and our future community leaders. Enjoy talking with self-made young people. Their lives (so far) and on-going goals are fascinating.

While fall may be your favorite season, we'll have to agree to disagree! I'm a spring/summer lover. The awakening of the world is a joy each year. And the warmth keeps me alive. Once the temperatures hit 70 degrees, health issues surface again and the pain is relentless. The fall/winter clothing is a favorite! The deep, rich colors and the warm textiles are heavenly! (Until the end of December. Then I've had enough and need to skip January, February, March with the short dark days!)

Enjoy Christopher Robin! Report back, please.

Way around the bothersome rude people is :

1. go to early matinee thru weekdays

2. wait till it comes out on DVD and get at library for FREE

I'm always # 1 in queue at my local library because I watch for them to order the DVD's I"m interested in then I pounce on them and that way you won't be way down the line in queue. Being # 1 also guarantees other people haven't had time to botch up the DVD.

When we eat out we eat early. 11:00 that way you get in and out before the

masses trickle in. We're going out the door about the time people with a herd of kids come in, groups laughing and cackling, etc.

We get up early compared to most people anyway, so, fits our lifestyle and cuts down on aggravations. You have to make your own oasis.

@SharkE we were at a matinee. Now that you have to choose a designated seat ,I don't feel free to just move to another seat

I blame those parents and not the kiddie, He has obviously never been trained to be considerate of other

Some things are just better on a big screen and this movie was one of them

@BirkiLady I know not everyone loves the cooler months. I just happen to be someone who does. Heat isn't my friend, nor sunshine, either

I will report back about the film....there is another one I want to see. It is a Brit spy flick, but a comedy..next week we will see that one

What happened to Summer? What happened to Spring? It was cold very late into the Spring. Then nothing but rain the first part of June. A few weeks of Summer weather. Now again, two solid weeks of nothing but rain. I feel as though we got cheated out of Summer almost alltogether. Doesn't do a lot for me. We have a pool which both of us really enjoy - very little this year. Don't say the end is in sight; Summer has hardly made an appearance here.

You can have my share of it. It is like death Valley in my area @aggravated..

We have had some cool weather here and I loved it. Its suppose to heat up now, but in the 90's and not 100's so I am not going to complain too much. Its been cool walking the dogs in the mornings, and like you, @cherry I feel fall isn't too far off! Yay!

I hope you have fun at the movies. I miss being able to go, the last few times I have gone, I have ended up with a horrible migraine.

I'm taking my neighbor girl, whom I've known since she was in the womb, for her belated birthday lunch today. Her birthday was in March, but she was at Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC at that time. She's been working summer jobs in Seattle, and finally has a day off. Soon she will head back to NYC for the new school year. However, after a week of weather in the high 80's and low 90's, we are now in grayness and 60 degree temps. What to wear? We never know if it will suddenly change back to high temps by afternoon. As long as it doesn't rain, I'll be happy. We haven't had rain in a very long time.

Time goes so fast, especially in the summer. Unlike you,Cherry, I look forward all year to sunshine days of summer because we have at least 6 months of gray clouds and rain. Seattle is at its pinacle of beauty when sunshine prevails over the lakes and mountains that surround us.

@RainCityWoman we have lots of grey days, but I love my Heathcliff skies. Surrounded by water as I am, there is something I find very appealing in clouds..I can hear all the hisses and boos now ..be my guest everyone ..I still love them

Huh? never heard of picking out a designated seat before. Hope

that's not the case where I live or we won't be going,period. LOL

I like Furr's Cafeteria and feed yourself buffet places if we sit down and then here comes people we don't care for next trip to buffet for 2nds we go to the other side. Problem solved.

Re: chit chat EVERYONE WELCOME

cherry — Fri, 03 Aug 2018 14:45:12 GMT

@SharkE It is something they just started and I hate it..You have to select a seat when you buy your ticket

We usually eat breakfast out, and then eat light for our other meal. We eat 2 meals a day, to keep our weight in check

I haven't

eaten at a buffet in a long time. I think you are wise not to do seconds. Years ago during nasty election season, one of the parties spiked a salad bar or buffet with e-coli to win. They won and got found out... ever since then I lost my appetite for buffets

Re: chit chat EVERYONE WELCOME

SharkE — Fri, 03 Aug 2018 14:51:18 GMT

Gees Louise, girl , where do U live. LOL Society , is changing and not for the best. People are rude, short tempered, under pressure. I'm glad I won't be around for the end times.

If I'd gotten sick from that buffet and had to go to hospital I'd sent that guy the bill. that's not funny for the elderly and the children.

This happened out west , not where I live. It was on a TV news program..it was years ago

Yes, the seat picking was a shocker for me. I was supposed to meet some friends at the theater to see the Billie Jean King movie a few months back. I thought I was late, so I went to buy a ticket and planned to find my friends inside. I was told I had to select a seat. Huh? How was I supposed to know what they had chosen. Turns out they were late too. Good thing I stuck around for a while just in case. We hadn't determined where we were going to meet. It all worked out, but color me surprised at the seating requirement.

@cherry me too. Love a good rainy day especially when it's warm. Love the sun too, but there's nothing better than snuggling under the covers with something good to read while hearing raindrops. ☔⚡

OMG ! Wonder why I never heard of that ? What kind of people are we all

living amongst ? Then, people wonder about 'stuff in national headlines and moves to prevent it' is the best way I can put it without starting a flame and getting it poofed.

Interesting article, shaking my head.

Hi cherry,glad you are back to posting and feeling better. I am so tired of summer, nothing but triple digit temps and fires all over our state..There won't be any fall colors as everything is scorched. On a happy note we didn't lose our home or our lives as some have, so we are blessed. Have fun at the movies!
