Well, I did it! I purchased a TV this evening!

It has been over a year since I packed up my television and this past spring gave it to my daughter who was in need of a new, digital TV. Because my daughter lived out of a very small bedroom in a house with other college girls in PA, she decided to put her TV on a very high corner shelf in her bedroom.

This week my daughter moved to CT to spend a few months working and living with her mom (me) in CT. I'm so happy to have her here with me and am hoping for the best for her related to work and leisure for the next few months. I sort of figured that Megan wouldn't be moving the TV that I had given her last spring with her when she moved to CT and I wondered how long she would be content to live without a television in my home! I honestly think she would have lasted a bit longer, but today I suggested that perhaps we should do some TV shopping! Meg was obviously agreeable with the idea and after a trip to Best Buy, we decided to check Wal-Mart before purchasing at Best Buy. After finding a clerk at Wal-Mart that actually had some knowledge of the television sets that were on display, we decided on an economical, 19" flat screen model and purchased at Wal-Mart. About $250.00 later, we left Wal-Mart with the new TV!

Meg placed the TV in the living room, thinking that would be a better location than in her bedroom...just in case I may also want to watch the TV on occasion. Well, already tonight I joined her to watch Seinfeld on FOX network. The color was great, contrast and other settings seemed perfect and everything was just right! And the bonus is that it seems that since so many shows are now going digital, I am able to pick up many more digital channels than in the past! I don't have cable, but am able to get many channels with a decent set of rabbit ear antenna.

So, all seems well in my home tonight! Meg watched a bit of the Penn State football game and then turned the TV off! I snapped a photo to share on my blog! Yes, the new TV is currently sitting on a dining room table that is in a corner of my living room. My home furnishings really aren't designed to have a TELEVISION SET as a focal point...so we sort of improvised and used the dining room table! I'm sure the TV will be appreciated in the next few months!

I am brushing up on my piano playing this evening as I will be accompanying the hymns tomorrow in church! I'm looking forward to that ministry tomorrow at my church in Darien, CT.

Best wishes to all....
