At this stage of life - Some may think I am dull, but I am happy and at peace. That says a whole lot when I look at all the lifestyles I lived in the past.
I garden, read, meditate, do yoga, use my camera, babysit and clean the woods surrounding my new woods home.
The heat is keeping me inside after lunch - so two days ago I stopped in the budget movie rental shop in the neighboring small town.
I love Meryl Streep - any movie she is in - is wonderful.
So, I rented "It's Complicated".
I sat in my easy chair on loft area - where the television is - that I did not want - but bought for my youngest granddaughter's to watch films.
I sat there during the hot afternoon. Sat still which is really an accomplishment for me.
I laughed and laughed and thought if there was a neighbor that could see me - they would think I had lost my mind.
So --- this film is funny - I think it is best for a woman to watch alone or with some women friends (have none near that think like I do) - I do not think a man would find it all that funny.
I may join something online and rent a few films a month. Will be good for me during the winter months - when I am not reading!!
What is more wonderful than watching a film that tickles you. Maybe watching films with friends and sitting over a cup of tea or a glass of wine and talking the stories through. Great post.
ReplyDeletethank you lilalia - guess in some ways I could relate to this film.
ReplyDeleteNo friends out here in the woods - wish there were!!
A prefect get-away day for a movie. The heat is so oppressive right now in the early afternoon. We were out on errands earlier today and my sympathy goes out to anyone who has to work outside.
ReplyDeleteA good chick flick is worth two action movies any day.
Cloudhands,some of my children keep recommending a watch some films. Usually do not have time.
ReplyDeleteWith the heat, being inside and just plain tired - it was good for me.
Sounds fun!! Laughing out loud in the woods! ha ha ha ha!!
ReplyDeleteJoe and I both loved this movie. We just joined Netflix and are very happy with it.

Jessi, you make me smile. Balisha, thanks for visiting.
ReplyDeleteI have the 2 movies a month plan for $4.95. Making my list and famiy is making recommendations.
LM and I watched that film recently and LOVED it. I was surprised he enjoyed it so much, but he is different that way.
ReplyDeleteWe have Netflix and really enjoy it as a way to catch up on old films and as a way to research who a particular character may have been in a certain film. You'd like it and it is so easy. We now have a cable so we can watch films through Netflix directly on the computer or on the TV.
Today in all the awful heat we stayed quiet by watching "To Kill a Mockingbird."
Marcia, I am looking forward to watching some more films. I have notdone this in a long time.
ReplyDeleteit is one of my favs in a while. i laughed until my face hurt. hubby laughed, too, and did enjoy it, but it is a chick flick, i'm sure.
ReplyDeleteSky, guess I related because I watched it alone.
ReplyDeleteIf that is the Meryl Streep movie I remember?? Alec Baldwin in it? I laughed 'til I cried.
ReplyDeleteThen, I SAW HER GARDEN. Was it fabulous? I never salivate over things, but this sent me into outer space.
Loved it and hoped it was real and not pulled out the moment the movie ended.
I don't think your life sounds boring-it sounds full and peaceful. The most important thing is that YOU are content.
Celebrate!

Sharon, thank you for visiting.
ReplyDeleteYes, that is the film.
Hope I can come across some more that make me laugh this much.
Have a great day. The heat is horrible here and hope I do not lose so many things that I transplanted to this new garden.
