Movie, A Good Person

We watched 2 Prime Video Movies last night. One was good and the other I could not tell you much nice about. So for this blog post we will pretend the second one didn't happen, ok?

The best of the 2 movies was A Good Person (affiliate link) with Morgan Freeman. It followed the pathways of 4 people as they find their way through grief after a tragic car accident. These characters are a father, son, granddaughter and the son's fiancé who was driving the car. The people who died were the parents of the granddaughter. 

We have a Prime membership that we use to watch movies and that works for us. You can also rent movies from Amazon. I read an article yesterday that said Amazon is considering adding a fee to keep your videos from them ad free. I am not happy about that, and I am sure no one else is except for Mr. Bezos and Amazon shareholders.

Have you watched any great movies lately? Let me know about them in the comments. I would love to hear from you!

Back with more again soon. 

Take care and stay cozy! 

 

Two Movies on Tuesday

With no football to watch on a Tuesday night, we watched a couple movies after dinner. Jim chose the first one we watched on Amazon Prime Video, Rumor Has It. This movie was a cute look at what could have happened to all the characters in the years after The Graduate. In the end the father character told the daughter what she needed to know, and the right guy ended up with the girl.

I chose the second movie of the night. We watched The Last Laugh. This was a great movie about getting old and facing your death. Nothing sad here though, at least not for long. Chevy Chase and Richard Dreyfuss were wonderful as old friends who end up in the same assisted living place. They take off on a grand cross country adventure. There are some great belly laugh moments in this one. Too bad that by this time Jim was dozing in his recliner.

In creative news I finished a scarf and started another. These are both crocheted and made with Lion Brand Shawl in a Ball, colorway Prism. Both are Lion Brand Patterns. Maybe I will get some pictures taken to share here soon.

It is my son's birthday. This picture is more than 30 years old and was given as a Mother's Day present during his elementary school years.

He is spending today in a hospital working to get his health under control. Potassium and blood sugar are heading towards more normal ranges but not great yet. He got to eat some real hospital food yesterday after a couple days on a clear diet of broth and juices. Hopefully he will be home soon. Managing the diabetes that he has developed and that runs in my family will be his new challenge. 

In other news around here...

...there is no other news. We are retired and a bit boring. Computer, creating, reading, house chores, meals and a movie after dinner. Each day blending into the next. I am not complaining at all. I rather like when life is a bit boring.

We did watch the movie Barefoot on Prime Video last night. I really enjoyed it and Jim liked the parts he was awake for.

Going to get my second cup of coffee and start retweeting all those folks who have done the same for me in the last 24 hours. Do you follow me on twitter? You could say hello in a comment here on the blog.

Nothing to See Here

I don't want to break the habit of writing every morning even though I don't have much to share today. 

We did watch 2 movies last night on Amazon Video. We can see a lot of what Prime Video has to offer since we have a Prime membership. So what did I watch and knit through while Jim dozed but claimed he saw the movies? First was Rams, a story about 2 sheepherding brothers in Australia. I don't want to give anything away so I will leave it there. Second was Silver Linings Playbook. I had seen this one before, but Jim hadn't. He tried but fell asleep anyway. Both were good movies or at least this is one old ladies' opinion.

If you aren't a Prime member you can use this affiliate link for more information if you are curious about what Amazon provides with the membership.

What We Are Watching

Jim and I have started watching season 5 of "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" on Amazon Prime Video. It will be the last season as far as I know. I have thoroughly enjoyed the show but this season is a bit strange. A few episodes in and I keep wondering what the writers were thinking because they keep throwing in random scenes in the future. These scenes take the story from the 1960s to the 1980s and I don't think they add to the show at all.

As usual I am watching and enjoying and Jim doses off after a few minutes and it is only around 7 pm, after dinner, when we settle in the living room to watch. He complained last night about feeling tired all the time. He also is complaining of cold feet and legs. He has also changed the dosing schedule for the medicine he takes to keep his vasculitis under control from every week to every 2 weeks. I worry about this all the time and will keep an eye on him.
