Settlers and TiVo




Our Settlers night was so much fun. To start the evening Amberley and Perry had all of us over for supper, which was delicious. Then after the boys went to bed the fun began. We first played Seafarers, which is an add on to Settlers my sister-in-law Penny won that one. Then we combined Seafarers with Cities and Nights that was fun but you had to really know what you are doing, which I don't. At times I am not sure where to put my roads or settlements. Just like Boggle I never win but it is so much fun to play. My brother Mike won the 2nd game.

For Christmas Paul gave me TiVo and do I love it. It just came to Canada last month. What I like about it is that I can enter a name such as Cary Grant and anything that comes on tv with Cary Grant will be recorded. Also it can tape two different channels at once and in most cases you can watch a completely different channel. Some of my keywords entered are Lucille Ball, William Powell, elephants, flipping (all the house flipping shows) and several more. Also after a while it kind of gets an idea of what you like and will even record shows on it's own. Sometimes I will watch them or I just delete it. For shows like CSI or Greys Anatomy I can even record only the new episodes. I love it. It's like a surprise everyday, nothing on check out TiVo and watch something that has been recorded. If you like tv you will love TiVo.

Anyone that knows me knows how that I love "I Love Lucy". I have all 9 seasons on DVD and all the Lucy & Desi movies. This clip is a classic it's from the California season. The guest is William Holden.


Here is a cool site to go to George Lange. I have seen this a couple of times it is really a neat little video, despite the licking.
