It's a beautiful Friday afternoon in New York and it's time to join Nancy and friends for Random 5 Friday.
1) I had dinner with work buddies in Astoria, Queens last night. It is a very diverse and fun neighborhood and I enjoyed seeing the mix of magazines at the corner stand.

I couldn't identify all of the languages I saw.
2. I also saw some television filming -- one of my favorite things to encounter -- when I walked to the restaurant from the subway. They were filming "The Blacklist" which will air in the fall. James Spader stars in it, and no, I didn't see James Spader.
3) I never realized how many times the phone rings during the day. There is an election in New York in September and I think I've gotten calls from everyone running at least several times. There is also someone who calls frequently telling me I've won a health alert system. Thanks, no thanks.
4) It's almost time to get the dehydrator out and start making kale chips. I'm a fan of kale chips -- never thought I would say that -- and at an average price of $6.95 a small package I've decided to make them. I'm just waiting for it to get a little cooler.
5) After my two flight delays this summer I said I would never fly again. That lasted at least two days and I'm researching some very fun destinations. No details yet, but I love the research.
That's my random August life. Thankful for the sweet days of summer and thankful for all of you who stop by and visit. Have a great weekend!

I would get a kick out of seeing tv and movies being made on the street. No telling who you will see.
Making your own kale chips sounds delish.
I am having a book give away on my blog today.
Buttercup, I hope your weekend is wonderful. I plan to go check out a couple farmers markets. It may rain though. We have had the best weather this week. The only film I ever came across during filming was "Days of Thunder" with Tom Cruise, in Dayton Beach. It was interesting. I need to go through some of your post I have missed. xoxo,Susie
I saw your filming Instagram... SO jealous:) Enjoy your weekend day Friend, HUGS!
Kale chips sound interesting.
How exciting to see where they are filming something with James Spader....likely that he is the villain!
Sad, but true, I don't even know what kale is.
Kale chips are yummy!
And we just got a call a half hour ago saying we won a health alert system. lol. We didn't answer. We don't answer our phone unless we recognize the number...
Thank to the creators of Caller ID, I no longer have to listen to political callers.
Hate kale, but the chips aren't bad.
I saw some filming with Ben Stiller last year when I visited NY, and it was exciting even though they did nothing. It does not take much to get m excited.
We've had some glorious August days here this week. Glad you are enjoying yours. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Just wait. Once these creeps find out you are eligible for Medicare they will hound you with phone calls for hearing aids. Just keep saying 'What?'
I always love your random Fridays!
Have a great weekend. I've never had kale chips. Guess I should try them. Hugs
It sounds like you have gotten rested up and are back to being active in your city again! I can hear the lilt in your steps through your words.
And a big THANK YOU for my beautiful cards!!! That was a very nice surprise in today's mail.
Look at you getting all frugal with your kale chips. Love it! :)
Fun, fun, fun!
Enjoy your Sunday.

Juneau is a great destination! And you have a place to stay!
I do enjoy your shares about your life and neighborhood :)
