Downton Abbey

My favorite new show on t.v. is on PBS or OPB and it's Downton Abbey.

My husband and I discovered the show by accident and ended up watching the entire first series in one weekend. . . and we aren't even big t.v. watchers. It's kind of a Pride and Prejudice during the Titanic era.

Have you seen it? Do you like it?

If you haven't seen it, look up Downton Abbey and check it out. It's on Netflix and you can probably check out the dvds from your local library - at least you can here in Portland.

Word for Wednesday

Word: Riparian


Do you know what it means?


You might if you ever watch the OPB/PBS series "Keeping Up Appearances". It's a show with British Humor written by Roy Clarke for the BBC. It was a series that ran from 1990 to 1995. But my husband and I still sometimes watch it on Netflix.

Anyway, that's where I learned this word for Wednesday.


So, do you know it too? If not, take a guess.


Now scroll down for the answer.
