Great! Snow day. Another new attitude. I used to get up and wonder how I could ever get to work. Now I get up and think --Lucky me! I don't care whether others can get up my hill or not. Suits me fine. So I turned on the fireplace, made coffee and went to my HG-TV for a long while. Yesterday Liz and I went to grocery store, gassed up the car, and I went to K-mart so I would be supplied well with food. I even got salt for the driveway but since it is still pouring down, I will not open it as yet.
I have my list made of stuff to do today. Far be it from me to sit here all day and veg out. If I do, I want to feel guilty about it. I am reading other blogs today also from people.
I will do some cooking -- Tom Harte has a new feature about cooking to lose weight and I am doing that--shrimp and grits today. I have all the ingredients. I finished the book, the Shell Seekers, last night at midnight and then could not sleep. I can't believe that I thought the Hallmark adaptation was good -- it paled in comparison to the book. Learning and reading are such wonderful commodities. I used to watch Daddy put his feet (socked) on the radiator in their bedroom during winter nights and watch him read--Life of Lincoln by Carl Sandburg. What a brain he had and a heart! Lucky me to have him in my life --even for such a short time. He alone made me know that I was something special--and that is masterful for any child.
