Because it cost less than we expected, and I also doubt it will last long, she will be getting these level two reading books.

One to educated and one just for fun

I just wish we could deliver the gifts in person and gets loads of hugs.

The ladies did pretty well on Zoom today, once the newbies figured out how to mute and unmute themselves. My friend Katie gave a presentation about the 5 national parks in Utah. It remains to be seen if ~~we'll~~ they'll go back to in-person meetings next month.

I think my first VHS might have been Top Hat. I did tape a lot of Ingmar Bergman movies that were on TCM. But I didn't buy VHS the way I have accumulated DVDs.

Watching a Clark Gable movie called Across the Wide Missouri. For some reason, the theme song that keeps playing in the background is Shenandoah.

Garrison Keillor once did a funny piece about how no choir is ever allowed to sing "Shenandoah" again.

Yes, they are. My sister still tells me about books I gave my nephew when he was young. One was based on Gogol's The Nose. It meant a lot to him. The other nephew sadly has never enjoyed reading.

Looks lovely. I'd like to go there with you and Richard - someday.

This has certainly been a productive day and evening, so that's good - leaves me no time to be irritated with what condition my condition is in. I just wish the stupid tree people had come today when they were supposed to. I really need a good night's sleep and I don't know how that can happen with these loud people out there at 7:30

I can't recall our children receiving books as gifts from other people. Of course I bought then any books they wanted.

Jane · « **Reply #111 on:** October 05, 2020, 10:37:00 PM »

I also read most of the books I purchased for them.

That Wherehouse in Torrance was also where I bought my first CD — Sunday in the Park With George. I had just acquired a player (again, on one of those special deals at Rogersound), and though I’d also just bought Sunday on LP, I was excited to find an additional track or two on the CD, and a couple of reviews of that release pushed me over the edge.

My first CD was the James Levine/June Anderson recording of Carmina Burana. I bought it in either 1987 or 1988...four years before I owned my own CD player.

Side note: my dad grew up in Torrance.

That was the first movie you purchased?
