I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to see the new cast of Netflix’s The Crown! And one of the actors let it slip that new episodes will be released in November. Add that to the September release of the Downton Abbey movie, and my period-piece lovin’ heart might just explode!

I didn’t go crazy during Amazon Prime Day, but I did pull the trigger on finally getting a pair of blue light blocking glasses for use at the office.

Local and looking for something fun to do with the kiddos next week? Then head to Court Avenue on Thursday when Union Pacific brings Big Boy to town in commemoration of the transcontinental railroad’s 150th anniversary.
