Last night I watched the movie "Apaloosa" which stars Ed Harris and has his father, Bob Harris, as the judge. I thought it was fun seeing Bob in a movie. He and Fran used to act in a Thespian organization sponsored by her Presbyterian Church in Evanston, Illinois.
The movie was beautiful and filled with great music. It also starred Renee Zellweger, Jeremy Irons, and Vego Mortenson. It was based on a book written by Robert Parker.
Some of the conversations were difficult to hear... well, not difficult to hear, but difficult to understand... even with my new paid for ears! When the movie was all over, I had this light bulb go out in my head! Maybe you can make the DVD do subtitles!!!!!!!!!! Voila. You can. From now on we're in business. Netflix, expect more rapid exchanges from us.
We have purchased two converter boxes for the dread June 12 deadline when all analog transmission will cease and digital transmission will be king. Now it's to figure out how to attach said box to our poor old machine. If I read the directions I will probably be able to do it. If not, I will call Jim. Remember our old friend, Fran?
It's a rainy day. George has worked himself to a frazzle preparing the garden, and the nice dark earth looks great. The seasons flick by!
Take care.

So glad to see a new blog from you. Bob looked pretty aged in this new movie. He was with the Fred Waring singers at one time and also played some parts in the Carol Burnett Show. We did some things together in the Westminster Players --being the two oldies in the group. My friend Ruth who is in her 60's but has hearing aids and I think even with that she misses some. Went to Lucca's the new restaurant on the Walking Mall last night. Really spiffy. Fran
Greet Jim for me --if you need his help with your TV. I remember him installing my nice new big TV. It is still giving good service although i don't view Tv nearly as much anymore --after the politics where over. I look at my DVD's on the computer --the Netflix stuff. That way I can work on hooking or sewing at the same time if I like. Love, Fran.
I heart Vigo Mortenson. Did you know that he's a spoken word artist (poet) as well? He is. He's also EXTREMELY cute as Aragorn in the Lord of the Rings movies. Sigh.
I got the computer box hooked up. Now we'll see how it works after June 12. I can't seem to get my computer to do the netflix deal. Besides, I don't want to sit in the messy vickiroom to watch them.
I'll be expecting a call to adjust those ears...

I too have done some work in the garden. Potatoes and onions buried are buried in the dirt so far. Once we get a good stretch of sun and warmth I will plant more.
We started winter all over again. Lovely white world --love, Polyanna Montana Fran.
