Day of Rest

Today was a fairly noneventful day for me.  I did do dishes late this evening, around seven thirty.  I didn't want to have to do them tomorrow.

I did a mimimal amount of vaccuuming, made the meals and straightened up a bit. 

I took a long nap.  My oldest dd wanted to read to me in the worst way.  She gave me a generous choice out of three books.  I chose The Teacher's Funeral  a comedy in three parts.  I listened intently through about the first chapter; laughing here and there and then I fell completely asleep.  She read four chapters and then I remember saying, groggily, "You can stop now." 

Youngest fell asleep, too; until oldest decided she needed to have THAT spot and the fighting ensued.  I think oldest finally settled in on the computer after a bit.

I woke up and watched some Hallmark movie on t.v.  Forget the title, something about Spring?  Anyway, it was set in the 1900s about a river rat man who loves a girl, has to leave her and ends up with a real trollop, is tricked into marrying her, she falls off a steam ship after abandoning their newborn baby, he returns to Nebraska?? or wherever and leaves son to live with same old girlfriend that he still pines for.   I like Hallmark movies because they have happy endings; lack gratuitous fleshy scenes and are usually well-developed albeit somewhat goody, goody.

I watched one last night, too.  That one was really good--called The Room Upstairs.  I think.  About a teacher who rents out her parents home to boarders, so she can afford to keep her house and memories.  That one had some edge to it; starred Stockard Channing.  She's really a good actress.

Dh put a woodstove in his garage last weekend.  It's so nice to feel the heat of a woodstove.  Just something so cozy about it.  The floor out there is gravel, so it's very rustic.  There are no windows out there yet.

Also hoping dh can fix the new e-mail soon.  I need a new one to do the photobucket thing, which I've never done, but want to see if I can learn how.  That way I can do lots more photos.  I taught myself how to resize them in our paint program.  I have not taken any digital photos myself.  Just use the ones dh happens to take and incorporate them into my blogs.
