Since Ted and I don't care for the same kind of movies, our
common ground is Westerns and we watch them at night.
We go to the movies every once in a while when there
is something that we want to see, usually on Sunday.

Last night, we watched a couple that were laughable. One
gunsmoke had a lot of errors in it, such as a grave covered
with Columbines. They don't grow in Kansas but Laura is
fortunate enough to have them in Colorado where it is not
so hot.

Then, we watched an episode of Bonanza featuring a very
plump Wayne Newton as a teen ager whose father thought
singing was a sin. Before the Cartwrights straightened him
out, the plot was so hokey that we laughed all the way
through it. He and the father were trying to build a fence
with a hammer, not even a sledge hammer. It all culminated with Wayne Newton singing The Old Rugged Cross in church and his father listening with tears running
down his face.

I remember that when we got color tv in l963 that everyone
said, "You have to see Bonanza in color, it is so beautiful.
My, how things have changed. The things we take for
granted were so new to us then.
