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.
ReplyDeleteMaking 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
ReplyDeleteI saw your filming Instagram... SO jealous:) Enjoy your weekend day Friend, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteKale chips sound interesting.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to see where they are filming something with James Spader....likely that he is the villain!
ReplyDeleteSad, but true, I don't even know what kale is.
Kale chips are yummy!
ReplyDeleteAnd 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.
ReplyDeleteHate 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.
ReplyDeleteJust 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?'
ReplyDeleteI always love your random Fridays!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend. I've never had kale chips. Guess I should try them. Hugs
