TV Returns

A week ago, our Satellite TV crashed. The hard drive in the main unit crashed. This meant we lost all the shows we had recorded, we couldn’t record anything new, no access to replay, and no access to Netflix or Prime TV.

It was like, we had to watch regular television, which we hate. We like to pre-record shows and watch them at our convenience, which allows us to skip through the commercials.

The new cable unit arrived last Saturday. It was reasonably easy to install, just plugging it in and swapping out the old connections with the new.

Then I got this screen.

It was up there for quite a while and didn’t seem to be advancing or making any progress. 

So I called in for a little tech support and they were able to make it go.

We have TV again.

2024 Corbin Park Carriage Ride

Another Carriage Ride is in the books and I think everyone had a good time. We managed to fill the carriage for every trip around the park. A large crowd showed up on the lawn at 709 W Waverly Place and enjoyed the wide variety of treats, hot cider and a blazing fire.

I made the mistake of taking a bunch of pictures with this iPad which does not have a flash. So here’s what I got.

Randy and Karen joined us for the fun. If only we had snow!

Christmas Begins

We are now officially into the Christmas season because the tree is up.

We got it yesterday as the rain poured down. We gave it a night in the Carriage House to dry out and it was all ready for us today after we got home from church.

We still have a few baubles to add and of course, I have to set up the train. 

It’s a little different this year with the piano being at the musical hospital and all this space is available. I may try a new configuration for the train if I can get permission.

Tonight is the annual Corbin Park Carriage Ride. The horse drawn carriage will be here in about an hour and fun will ensue.
