Got my hair cut and highlighted. Short trip to the dollar store for a hat…
Fall is my favorite season. Look at those colors starting to show!
Took the dog for a walk at a cemetery. She was on high alert because of all the birds and squirrels. Eventually she was drained and I had to carry her to the car. Not every day your arms get sore from a walk!
I grew up watching a lot of costume dramas as a kid. The original Upstairs Downstairs is a prime example. That’s what happens when you are a kid with a huge attention span. Probably less alarming than my other hobby which was watching cspan or The Mclaughlin Group. Anyway, here is a list of some of my favorites chronologically through history, not production dates. It shifts to mystery/crime drama toward the end.
Most of you have probably seen at least one of these, but if you are looking for something new try out one of the others or go through them chronologically which could be fun.
