From email…..
Hope you are going to be
able to stay cool during this heatwave. It's supposed to be 90 here at
the beach. WOW. We will have to make an effort to cool off the
house before the heat hits, but when sealed up we stay cool.
You will laugh at me, but
I subscribed to the Washington Post. If I don't read the political headlines,
just glance, I and my head are just fine. For the first time in years, I
am getting movie and book reviews. It's kind of exciting.
The new manager ididn't
get the suggestion that running two big EVENTS a month has failed the previous
managers. This week a doll event. Comic Con next....no my costume
isn't quite right. The end of the month is a book sale. At least
the 13 remaining boxes of books are out of the garage. Hurrah, hurrah.
I sort and price books
today. Calming. Tomorrow kitchen stuff….not calming.

- Reading: About a Scottish nurse in the fifties.
- Gratitude’s: That we don’t live in the 50’s.
OH my, are reading "Call the Nurse?" I loved that book.
ReplyDeleteI secnd that gratitude! Saw program recently about family life in the fifties. It was tough on women!
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy collection of dishes to eat from.
ReplyDeleteThe painted flowers are Southern Potteries, and the solids are Russell Wright. I should show more. They delight me too.
DeleteWe set another heat record today, but at least it's supposed to finally change overnight.
ReplyDeleteGive my congrats to Margot and so glad she realizes how valuable she is to everyone! We close all the drapes to keep out he sun and I do worry about the birds. Thanks for supporting a great newspaper! I get digital NYT and New Yorker and do try to read them both!! But as an old person, it is the least I can do!
ReplyDeleteYou bet I will. Granddaughter is in a camp, and Margot is coming here. She is doing wonderfully well. Yes, digital WP, and I am truly enjoying it. Our newspaper here keeps getting sold, the presses were dismantled, the whole thing moved to LA. Now we have a third new owner. I like the NY times, but enough is enough. I read the BBC for a broader world view too.
DeleteThere are things about the 50's I really miss. Probably cause I didn't know better at the time.
ReplyDeleteThat's it. I didn't either.
