Day 16 - Poldark

I am a big fan of period piece movies because of the beauty and refinement and costuming of the older days but also because there is a bit of history I can learn while watching them.  I was so taken with Downtown Abbey from PBS when it was on and am always intrigued to find others that are done on Masterpiece theater.  Jodi told me about one called Poldark that is a PBS show and so tonight, being at home alone while Bill is in Washington DC and after a long drive home from Haskell, I decided this was the night to begin a video binge with this TV series, first season.  This one is set after the Revolutionary War in England with the main character being a war hero come home to Cornwall, England to find his sweetheart now engaged to someone else, his father dead, and his estate in ruins.  But it appears it will be much more intrigue than a love story--I'm looking forward to watching the whole first season this week--I love Roku which allows this type of watching rather than having to be before the TV at the same time every week to see the next episode.  

Another first today was taking my dad for a nuclear bone scan in Abilene.  While it was very hard on him to do this, and I hate that he had to have it done, it was somewhat fascinating to be able to sit in the room with him while the scan was going on and see the process and visit with the radiologist who was doing it as he explained how it is done and what it shows, etc.  We don't know the exact results, but it was obvious that he has a problem with a disk in his back--it was glowing like the rising sun!
