It is a wonderful period drama mystery that is filled with amazing beauty. It is Spanish with subtitles. After a while you don't even notice. I watch a great deal of foreign films so never bothered me.<br /><br />It's a long running series but one of the best. <br /><br />Michele M./ Finch Resthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08971943265328093734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-50811811113212371062020-09-17T08:21:56.661-07:002020-09-17T08:21:56.661-07:00Love the way you answered Hodge Podge!!!!

I have been in seclusion since February - lots of checks on the "at risk" so not going anywhere.<br /><br />Our favorite films are period dramas (and a good time travel sci-fi or who-done-it thrown in for a break.) This one looks like we will be watching tonight, thank you!<br /><br />Stay well. <br />Michele M./ Finch Resthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08971943265328093734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-19295526183765092742020-09-17T07:54:14.119-07:002020-09-17T07:54:14.119-07:00I am so glad you are back!!

That, I believe, I could easily do. I too miss going out in public without having to remember a mask... I can't tell you how many times I start walking towards a store only to turn around because I managed to forget my mask in the car (again!).

My husband sold our snow blower to the people across the street before we moved, for only $25. They asked why so cheap? His response, I just won't need it anymore and will not take it with us!
