TV to watch operas on DVD

Joe got an old Sony TV from a friend and brought it home
he put it in the living room and hooked up a DVD player to it
so I can watch my opera Videos while he is watching ALL the football games downstairs in the rec room
there is no cable in that room so he hooked a digital converter box and a rabbit ears and now there is about 20 FREE TV channels too
It is nice for me because i have had it up to here in Sports !

Anything Goes

Last Night we took the Go bus from Brampton to Toronto to see "Anything Goes" a revival of the Cole Porter Musical. It was a good show and lots of singing and Tap dancing..
some new songs were added and some were missing.
This is the last show of the season and we are not renewing for next year mainly because of the distance and my handicaps.

Summer flying by

Summer seems to be flying by , half way through July even with the heat the flowers seem to be enjoying it. I stepped out of our air conditioned home and enjoyed the 96 F. heat it felt really good ! took photos of the three hibiscus plants in bloom then retreated into the cool house.
