Good afternoon @betty rose I hope you had a great weekend!

Wrong to think of School on a Saturday but remember these from days gone bye...film projectors in classrooms?

or a phone booth in a park?

or remember simple family fun before video games?

or the awesome merrygoround of school playgrounds? So fun, so deadly?

Or Doctor Scholls sandals? Wooden wonders that molded to your feet that were messed up by plastic replacements?

Or remember the days before one price cleaners?

Or remember the days when TV was not 24/7/365?

Remember all of those. I miss phone booths!

I know you've seen our swans before, they're not spring chickens, but a right of passage when they return to our lake each spring from their winter dorm rooms. Always so happy for a few weeks before they go back to their mean ornery selves.

Beautiful, they are so graceful.

As of 20 minutes ago our forecast for tomorrow is also 71, a drop of 5 degrees forecasted for tomorrow. I'll take it. My last 2 Birthdays have been nasty cold. My family has an adventure planned for my Birthday tomorrow. A beautiful day would be awesome.

I've had a guardian angle the last two months. We went into the city in February and in March. Both days were unseasonably warm and in the 70's. Rare. If I pull off a third weird warm day tomorrow I'll know someone is looking out for me on my Birthday. So excited.

Happy belated birthday. I hope you got your birthday wish (nice, warm weather)!

Wow. That updated chart shows a really wide "alley"!!

Denver Int. airport is in Colorado's tornado area.

 

[betty rose]

That and Up always get to me.

I forgot about Up, I watched it once....that was enough for me.

 

[betty rose]

Good afternoon @betty rose I hope you had a great weekend!

We were busy helping the kids pack. Next week, we all celebrate Easter.

 

[betty rose]

Yes to all of the above. My mom even still has one of those old irons.

I remember ironing the pillow cases with that iron!

 

[betty rose]

Recall Alert!!!! @StarWarsGirl , @betty rose and @93boomer I'm not sure what inhalers you use but Glaxo Smith Kline just recalled 600,000 inhalers. Please check yours

Thanks. I will go check.

Denver Int. airport is in Colorado's tornado area.

Speaking of Tornados on airports. I suddenly remember the one that was way too close to Dallas Forth Worth's Airport. That lifted entire trailers and train cars.

I really don't like Up. I don't think I've seen it in about four or five years because I really dislike it. I'd rather watch just about any other Pixar movie.

Me too.

 

[betty rose]

And since we are talking about Up, I still haven't made it past the first, what is it, 10 Minutes. It turns me into a big sobbing mess. As a matter of fact the last time I tried to watch it, I decided no more watching things that I know are going to make me cry. Despite many of my peers telling me I have to watch This is Us, I will never watch it. It sounds like all it does is make you cry buckets. No thank you!

I'm the same way. I only watch movies that don't make me cry. I've never gotten over Old Yeller, and Bambi.

 

[betty rose]

Yea, I've always heard the demise of the classic drive-in movie theater was related to rising land prices and due to all the space the cars took up "inside" the theater.
But, I think it was more a comfort and sound quality thing. Big indoor movie theaters still require land for parking lots for even more patrons they can stuff in them, and, by comfort, I mean things like A/C and heat, and such, and mostly unaffected by weather (and bugs ). Not to mention the cost of those buildings and all the comforts.

We now have recliner's at our local theater. So comfy, if I get bored with a movie, I take a nap just like home....

I can'y watch Old Yeller. I can handle crying at the beginning of a movie but not the end.

I was looking at the shop park app and saw these:
View attachment 199125 View attachment 199126 View attachment 199127

I'm pretty much sold on the black and white one and the Minnie Mouse one for Kapono, but I'm up in the air about the Mickey. People already think she is a boy despite her all pink harness and leash now. They are super cute and I will get 20% off with the ap discount

She would look so pretty in the Minnie one.

Thanks for the update on the inhaler's we are good.

 

[betty rose]

Ha! that would never fit in my freezer. Ever. Must consume.
And yes today was the Birthday. It was fun but you would have hated it, it was mid 70s and sunny.

So happy for your weather!

 

[betty rose]

Happy birthday really early!!!

Thanks at 70 I draw the line! Then I start over! We get more childlike when we age....I'm ready for it!

 

[betty rose]

I do live by a Disney Store, and I used to do this. But, now it is more like a little kid toy store. They might have one very small table with a few shirts, and a couple of mugs on the back wall.

Same as ours. We don't have mugs.

 

[betty rose]

Out for me, tomorrow I go to the eye doctor. Then on to get my driver's licence . That should take all day. DMV isn't known for being fast!
