~You've Got Mail ...Week-end

Fall is here ( ok not so much in Tucson yet but...) & I have been sick with a cold . What I need right now is comfort. This movie is one of those for me. A little Hanks and Ryan to make it all better. AAAHHH....
This sweet romantic comedy reunites "Sleepless In Seattle" stars Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. He's the owner of a bookstore chain; she's the woman he falls for online. Both are unaware that she runs the little shop his company is trying to shut down.
