Sounds bleak--but it's not, really. It's been raining off and on all day and it is just wonderful! The grass has pretty much been crunchy since August. Besides, I took advantage and gave myself a lazy day.
I just finished a Dorothy Gilman book called Thale's Foley. Very good story. Ms. Gilman writes the Mrs. Pollifax series of mystery/spy books. Mrs. Pollifax is a retired widow who decided to do something with herself and so, went and volunteered at the CIA--something anyone would do, I'm sure. Thale's Foley is less of a mystery and more of just a story.
I found it at Half-Price Bookstore, my most favorite bookstore in the whole wide world (Amazon.com is my second favorite.) I think I might head over there this evening making this a most decadent day!
I went to visit Granny this afternoon. She's doesn't seem to be doing too good. She broke her hip for the second time a few weeks ago and is on souped up pain medication. If you pray, I would appreciate your prayers for her. Her name is Pauline Pullen.
I halfway watched (I was reading my book, mostly) this show today. It was something about Muscle Cars on Spike TV. I've about convinced myself I ought to find myself a fixer-upper. The only flaw in that plan is my lack of funds to buy one, they use an enormous amount of gas that is only getting more and more expensive--oh, and I'm not interested in learning to fix up cars. This would be a time when it would be handy to have a car-savvy boyfriend or my sister and brother-in-law (who is car-savvy) to live closer. So, given all of that, I guess I'll stick to my little Civic.
I'm going out to dinner with one or two friends and I'm going to start another book other than that, I've written about all the fun stuff for now.
