I made no plans to get away because I will be away in a couple of weeks. Later today, I will watch a couple of Cagney & Lacy episodes. I just received the CD's this week. Very excited. I watched two episodes and started on a third, when I thought, "My stars, I've been sitting here a long time." I had forgotten that the shows were an hour long. There are 4 discs with 6 shows on each one.
I just removed a mass card from my purse. My friend Sandy has died, she was so ill, she must have prayed for release. I will file her memory away with those of other friends and loved ones I have lost. It is a bit disconcerting--the list is growing. I should be writing but instead I am watching PBS cooking shows, they always take my mind away from troubling thoughts. Later I will make grilled zucchini as a side for my tuna salad. Yum?
While tossing paper this morning I came across a scrape of paper with Childcraft books written on it. It was a reminder to look them up online. I was happy to find information about these books, for the longest time I thought that my memory of them was wrong. My mom bought a set (24??) of these wonderful books when I was a preteen. The covers were bright orange and each volume was amazing. One of my favorites was full of art; I think I looked at the page with Van Gogh's "Starry Night" every day. There was also a picture of a piece of sculpture, a child with dog. I traced it time and again. I am thinking Rodin, but I don't really recall. We had no money so I am sure that my parents paid for the books 'on time' forever. I wish I had thought to tell them how much those books meant to me. I can't be sure how my brother's felt--I made them listen to me read every Aesop(sp?) Fable in one of the books. (smiling)
Gotta leave you Mr. Bloggie because hunky Ming Tsai is showing us how to make a spicy chicken dish. Think I'll make myself some Jello.
