It's the first time I've heard of something like that but it sure sounds inviting. For someone who grew up going to a solemn church service each Sunday morning with the parents it sure sounds like a totally different experience! Wondering ... were there men in there or was it all for the ladies? I looked over at your other blog to see what you thought of Bridge of Spies. Sounds like I will see it for sure now that you recommend it. The ads on TV sure look good. One last comment: If I haven't mentioned it before, I've really, really been liking the one photo you choose to start your posts. You are an excellent photographer. I suppose I should look over at more of your posts on the other blog to see if you share more of your photos there. Have a fine weekend. Looking forward to your post tomorrow!

You continue to inspire me as I follow you on this retirement journey.

It's interesting for us here too, how different the leaf color and drop rate are year to year. We had unseasonably warm weather and then dry, so many types of trees just dropped their leaves, while my honey locust turned and dropped in one weekend. Nature is mysterious.<br />I'm glad you enjoyed the Martian movie and book too, we thought it was the smartest, funniest and most exciting movie we can recall watching. Can't wait to hear what you thought of the Tom Hanks movie. He's always outstanding.<br />Enjoy the dancing, hiking and pending travel to see your sister! Sounds like fun. :)Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114884092474969555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-20481362895829126202015-10-18T21:44:56.755-07:002015-10-18T21:44:56.755-07:00Wow!

Now I put my Sirius Radio on one of the channels with music I enjoy and dance in my living room. I have thought about how nice it would be to have someone hold a dance exercise in my studio in the winter when I don't have classes. <br />Here in the southern Appalachians we are beginning to have color in our forests. I imagine further north of us, the fall colors are already covering the mountains and valleys. I will be going up that way the end of the month and hope to have autumn abound in all its glory.<br />Keep dancing!Glenda Beallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17953170428175025248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-89393531595331656902015-10-18T17:20:01.051-07:002015-10-18T17:20:01.051-07:00Bridge of Spies is also on my list.

We're expecting our first snow this week. It's late coming this year (thank goodness). We've had an especially glorious fall, maybe because of our wet spring and early summer. My friend just e-mailed me that she saw Bridge of Spies and loved it. When you commented on my blog that you'd climbed one of the Bells, I knew you were hard-core! I've hiked several of the 14ners but not the ones that are truly technical or dangerous. I actually watched a photo slideshow of the climb and decided that I'd have to pass on it in this lifetime!

We're up earlier because we went to sleep earlier, tired out after a busy day. <br />As I glance out of our second story office window, I see the tops of the Full Moon Maple and at Korean dogwood with scarlet leaves mixed with green, as they both slowly begin to put on their autumn finery, as if they too are getting ready to dance. Our next wind storm will supply the music. <br />I think I am probably too inhibited to do the Sunday morning sweat dancing thing, but I can picture is as you vividly describe it. <br />We'll be doing a lot more work in the yard this week, like last week, weather permitting. We still try to get in our mostly daily walking, but I forego my exercises when I spend hours stooping and bending and crawling on the ground, cleaning out garden beds, planting bulbs, and lugging bins of pulled and clipped plant material to the compost bin. <br />Picture that as my "dance", wearing old jeans with muddy knees. <br />Your Sunday posts always inspire me to write a little, so thanks for the opportunity. It is a good way to start a day many devote to meditation and enriching the spirit. Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.com
