New Home: Creating New Memories With The Waltons

[Uncle Coaster]

I just moved into a condo on Sunday...it is my first home I own instead of rent. Its not quite ready to be moved into...cable/internet/phone is being installed next week, contractor started on new floors in over half of the place the day after I moved in, half the rooms don't have lamps yet...so I am kind of limping around in it for a few more days.

Anyway, Sunday night I got home late, close to 11:00 pm. About the only room that is ready to go is my bedroom, with a tv and dvd player. So, what better way to spend my first night as a homeowner than with the Waltons. I wanted to watch Dust Bowl Cousins, but the disc wouldn't read, so I watched The Fire. An exceptional second choice, I thought.

I also got home late Monday night and watched Dust Bowl Cousins (disc worked that night) and Love Story. Tuesday night was The Graduation and Easter Story. So, I have three nights in my home and other than watching a few pro wrestling matches while eating dinner, I've done nothing but watch the Waltons.

I can still remember my first few nights in each of my prior two apartments (18 and 13 years ago, respectively) and I am thrilled that in the future when I think back to moving into my first real home, I will think of the Waltons.

No point to this, but I wanted to share it anyway. Thanks for reading.

Welcome, Uncle Coaster....

So, are you a roller coaster buff?? The old wooden ones?? And, do you take your nieces/nephews on trips to amusement parks?? Is your favorite Waltons episode The Roller Coaster ?? ;D .... oops, meant The Ferris Wheel!

Thanks for the replies. Watched 3 more episodes Wednesday night and then fell asleep half way through The Caretakers last night. My parents are coming into town this weekend, so I'm sure even more episodes will be in the cards.

And, yes, I am a roller coaster buff, at least I used to be. I definitely prefer wooden coasters to steel ones but my nieces don't like coasters.

Congratulations and how wonderful to christen your new home with the family.
