Daily Notes- Monday. Sunshine. Melting Ice. 24 degrees but feels much warmer.


 Squirrel.  When Riley was alive- this squirrel would have gotten the run of his Life.  Just for fun.  Riley was only interested in the chase. Riley's much repaired squirrel toy is on a shelf in my bedroom shoe and purse closet- eye level.  We look at each other when ever I need something in that closet. Like fresh slippers.  The original owner of this house must have loved shoes.

So......the Football was Ugly yesterday.  I have my Sports shows to watch.  Not much else going on. I am not cooking or baking today.  No Washing Machine Pages.  I did a bit of hand sewing later in the day yesterday.  I did quite a bit of unsewing.  Taking things apart.  It seemed like such a GREAT PROJECT years and years ago.  And now it's all taken apart.  It was never going to be what I had envisioned. And I can always use the pieces for something else.  Anyone else out there take apart their patchwork???

I had a few typos today.  Occasionally, I type without looking at the keys.  My memory finds the keys even though I am hardly conscious of looking for them. I was typing that this happened before  typing the Women's Club newsletter in the 80's but it was AFTER Germany..  When I typed the Leaflet for the Morton.Arboretum outside of Chicago.  And then I would drive to the Editor's house and drop it off.  A week or so later I would see it in print. I carried a disc to an office place to have it printed.  My job at work was on a computer as well. I was inputting all the advertising sales data.

 I had forgotten the chronological order of my life. Wow.....that is troubling.

At the time, I was taking a evening adult education class at the Arboretum.  Botanical Drawing and Painting.  It was quite enjoyable.  Not the Mix and Splash of college watercolor back in the mid-sixties. Though I was good at that as well....I really enjoyed the Botanical stuff. Still do.

Well, I have Sports Shows to watch.  Men bickering etc.
