Good morning Roommates. Nothing new here in East Texas.. looks to be a windy but pretty day, highs in the upper 40’s (F). I have very much enjoyed my friend Becky being here for the weekend and catching up on gossip. We are older now, so it has been a pretty calm weekend [emoji4]. We watched a movie called “Shape of Water” Friday night. It was set in the 60’s and was a storyline about romance between a woman and a sea creature. I can’t honestly tell you what I thought about it because I’m not sure I know myself.. I just couldn’t turn it off though so that’s something. And the attention to detail about the time period was pretty amazing.. yesterday, we watched the 2016 Pete’s Dragon.. I’d forgotten how good that one was.. & a flick called Orphan Horse... it was a great and moving family movie and made me cry.. now, I’m enjoying the quiet morning while everyone else still sleeps. Here is my view.

Okay, I cried like a baby during Pete’s Dragon!! I told my husband that I never want to see that again!!

The Shape of Water never interest me but man it got a lot of awards.
I may watch it now.

Your view looks amazing!!

I've got to learn how to post pictures to share with everyone. I've managed the avatar but I'm only somewhat learning how to do the rest. I taught my son how to type and now he has to teach me how to. lol sometimes I can do things online and can't remember how I did it the next moment..my only excuses are...I was raised as a child without technology almost Amish like. Now I have senior moments.

Your avatar is lovely! Yum. [emoji23]
Are you using the forum app (mobile version) or the computer?

Simply not knowing these things about your life will drive me nuts... if I were in your shoes, you’d have to break out the straitjacket!! However, I think their are good things in store for you and your family so the not knowing is more like a treasure hunt:) I will anxiously watch for more updates... btw, how much longer is later in the summer for you?

We might know the destination in March. The move would be July-August. [emoji51]

Pete’s Dragon was one of the movies I considered watching on the plane to/from Turkey. Glad I didn’t. I watched “Alpha” instead, about a boy’s friendship with a wolf in the Stone Age, and cried. I also cry when I watch commercials.

Never been like that before I was pregnant with daughter — a far cry from the mess I am today. [emoji849]

I watched “Alpha” as well. It was good but the previews looked a lot better to me. I also cried...so I feel like the three of us (Kathy) could watch movies together with out being judgmental:)
