Some hospitals the parking is a difficult walk for those of us with leg problems.<br /><br />I don't go often, but one does lose a lot by not seeing them in the theatres.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-6385123097958217822015-01-27T06:31:55.740-05:002015-01-27T06:31:55.740-05:00We have valet parking at the hospital we go to, bu...We have valet parking at the hospital we go to, but I think it is only $3 for whatever their set hours are. We've only used it a couple of times, depending on why we had to be at the hospital and depending on the weather.<br /><br />I'd like to see Paddington, but will wait until it comes out on DVD or TV.

I always try to find street parking, but they make sure that's very difficult too. Not so bad when the money raised goes to the hospital, not some sharks.<br /><br />That cake sounds like it's coming along fine. Hope the bone scan went well. I'm sure I would find life a lot sadder without coffee and tea!! :-) Oh, and I haven't seen Paddington, but I hear it's great.Denise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-31069754976935245962015-01-26T18:42:34.076-05:002015-01-26T18:42:34.076-05:00Not sure where "here" is Dixie, lots of ...Not sure where "here" is Dixie, lots of people in the US seem horrified we have to pay for hospital parking.<br /><br />Me too, Phyllo is great.

I'm kind of a stickler that way (speaking of Narnia don't get me started on my 'Dawn Treader book RUINED by the movie' rant). Hope Matt's doing OK.
