Same problem here.  I haven't had to much time to play here lately.  Too much "work".  We are counting on our "genius" to fix the problem.

I noticed the song too.  It was a great touch.  Our Love is Here to Stay was written by George Gershwin.  It really seemed to fit the type of music I imagine Julia would have enjoyed.  I enjoy the American song writers.

Birdie--just wondering why Barnabas didn't install electricty, heat and a phone once he was cured.  Why would Julia set up a lab in those conditions? Guess the radio ran on batteries.  Julia of the portable generator.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of taking my mother to visit her sister in law who is 93.  We had a nice lunch at a very old restaurant in Shirley, MA  it dated back I think to the l800.  After the lunch we visited with my Aunt who lives in the Carrige House next to the Big House.  Her daughter and family now live in the big house.  Sound like DS to you?  We were sitting in the sunny back room when my Aunt asked me if I would rather visit in the "drawing room".  I had to suppress a giggle.
Her formal room is very Collinwood,  beautiful antiques, dark Victorian.  I wanted to pack some in my car and take them home.

Birdie--who managed to get many daughter/niece points this weekend.

That was fun.  Another Quentin here.

Patti,
       Are you kidding with four kids I am lucky to be able to tape our favorite show.  With the many channels on our cable box I get to see many things fly by while someone is surfing.  We must have a TV channel but I am not familar with it.  Actually, I am a MA. fan.  My 13 year old just got back from Jersey.  She went to the shore with a girl friends family.

My favorite female name would have to be Elizabeth.  I go for more the classic names.  I wanted to name my daughter Elizabeth but the hubby wouldn't give in.  We have a niece with that name, even though the age difference was huge he couldn't see it.  His brother's daughter so they have the same last name.

My favorite male names would have to Joseph and Michael.  The levitian kids names.  Of course those being my favorite has nothing to do with DS.  Joseph is my oldest sons name.  He was named after my father and a very special Uncle.

Least favorite female name would have to be  Julia.  Don't hate me Grayson fans.  It goes back to a person named Julia who was nasty to me as a child.  Those things just stick to a name.  No matter how many great people you meet later on with the name those ones as a child color your opinon.

A lot of ugly male names, Ezra, Jeb,

Hey, they worked for the show that is what is important.

Wonderful photo's!  Thanks so much for sharing with those of us who could not attend.  It looks and sounds like you had a fantastic time.  I toasted to you all the Friday of that weekend at the local Chinese Rest. in town.  Two Mai Ty's to the group in LA.   Maybe next year........
