I have not seen the movie Hope Springs, but I fully intend to go and see it. I love the fact that it about people who are of a certain age and at a certain stage of life. One of my favorite programs CBS Sunday Morning, and one of my favorite people David Edelstein did a wonderful review which made me want to see if even more.  I do take what David Edelstein says to heart. He has given me some very good reviews on musical artist that I truly love–Leela James, Eva Cassidy, Melody Gardot just to name a few.
Take a look. The movie stars Tommy Lee Jones and Meryl Streep.
If you are a woman of a certain age, want to understand a woman on a certain age or know a woman of a certain age, take a look at the review given by David Edelstein. The part about the anniversary gift made me smile. My hubby and I just got back from Scottsdale, Arizona where I celebrated our anniversary, and he went on vacation–he forgot–again. 
I wanted to go on a hot air balloon ride, and you guessed it–he told me he would be on the ground when I got back–can we say chicken?
I have forgiven him for forgetting, for staying on the ground and I’ve gone on my balloon ride because “thisisyour(my)bestyear”.

If you see the movie, let us know what you think.
