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 :)

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.

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.

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?
