Movie theaters have certainly changed! I just saw "Face of Love" (Highly Recommended) at the Living Room Theater, downtown, and my seat was an overstuffed lounge chair with an ottoman for my feet. I ordered a non-fat latte that was served to me during the film. The theater also provides a food menu and cocktails so some people were enjoying lunch. There are six theaters and most are very small with a capacity of about 40 or 50 seats. This theater mostly features foreign prize winning films so there's always an interesting variety of choices.
After the movie I walked over to the Imperial Hotel to try a new restaurant owned by the Chef/Owner of Paley's Place (one of Portland's finest restaurants) and, regretfully, I left "underwhelmed" - but - that's the fun of trying new places.
The weather is flirting with us - one or two days of sunshine in the low 70s (perfect) and then several days of cold and wet weather so now the closet is half winter and half summer. Little Bella is happy when she wakes up to sunshine because that means she and "mom" will be going somewhere.
Lori and Pam are in Paris until next week Monday and it has been great staying in touch with her and getting pictures on Instagram. I think that she has photographed every cheese shop in the city (her favorite food) and I'll admit that cheese in France is exceptional. They don't have as many laws in regard to the use of raw milk so some of their best are made with that ingredient.
Roger and I have rehired our tutor who is teaching us to use the Photoshop program so on rainy days, I'm spending most of the time working on my lessons. The tutor's last name is "Miracle" and I suspect that is what it will take for us to sufficiently learn how to use this program.
I've just learned about the Multnomah Arts Center where classes are available for theater, music, dance, photography, drawing, painting, etc. so my first class will be a two day photography session in May, followed with a series of ten weeks of instruction through the summer.
