21st Century!

Well, Dad had a fun weekend. He got ClearPlay for our tv and
had fun setting that up. We tested it out on Friday night.
Yup- it worked great- lots of mouths moving but no sound = no
foul language. And then on Saturday, Dad had more fun- I don't
know if he can stand this much fun. While we were out testing
samples at Costco, he found that the tv he wanted was on sale.
We came home for the coupons- we would feel too guilty buying
something without coupons- and he went back to Costco to get
a 47" Visio! He spent a chunk of time setting it up & buying
the cables but we were able to watch this movie while we ate
dinner- can you guess which one it is???
















If you guessed "Big" with Tom Hanks, you are right!
SO... two big purchases in one weekend! WOW! Everything
looked so different and BIG (get the pun???) that we
stayed up to watch another dvd until 2:30 am. I am not
sure when we did that last...if ever. Dad said this
morning that he woke up with the closest thing he has
had to a hangover :)

What Would You Pay???

Dad found a grrrrrrrrrrrreat buy on Craig's List. We have needed
a new vacuum for the garage & patio since the Panasonic is over
15 years old & held together with duct tape. Dad found a new
Hoover Windtunnel demo for only...




















ta-da...$30!!! So now we have His & Hers
Vacuum Cleaners! Good thing they are different
colors so we can tell them apart :) !!! Dad loves
his because it matches his car!
