A to Z 2019 April Blogger Challenge The Letter G - Goose Bumps

It's April - That means I will be participating in the A to Z Blog Challenge.


I will be posting six days a week for the month of April - (with a rest day on Sunday).
Each post will begin with the corresponding letter of the alphabet beginning with A and finishing with the letter Z.

I began participating in this challenge in 2012.   With the exception of last year, I believe I completed the challenge each year.   Last year I lost steam somewhere around the letter W.
Let's see how far I get this year.

Goose Bumps

Now that the weather is starting to get a little nicer, Ross and I try to get out of the house for a little while each day.  

But while we hibernated this past winter, we watched a lot of TV.  

With our cable service, we can record five shows at once. 

Even though we subscribe to many of the main premium cable channels, Netflix and Amazon Prime, we rarely record five shows at once or ever fill up the DVR.   I think that may say something about the lack of fine programming or perhaps it is our eclectic taste. 

Ross and I usually have the same taste in TV shows.  I am slightly more fussy about what I like to watch, though. Ross watches a couple shows that are only background noise for me as I sit and knit.

One of the shows that I never miss is "This is Us".  I became hooked on it from the first episode. 

I must say, though, as season three unfolded,  I began to feel as though this family had way too much drama in their lives.   I wondered if the writers really felt that they were telling stories of average every day families.  

I imagine all of us have highs and lows, good times and bad, segments of our lives that we will never forget. 

Real lives though, unlike the "This is Us" lives, are made up of the sometimes happy, sometimes sad, sometimes exciting,  but most times, day-to-day routine moments.  

I was beginning to get a little disenchanted with the show.  

But, last night's season finale of "This Is Us", particularly the last scene, gave me goose-bumps.  Honest to goodness goose bumps.
