Wednesday, March 11th. Warmer than usual. 44 degrees- no sunshine.


 New York Times Orange Cake.

I have everything in the HOUSE to make this cake....even a food processor.  Where it is..I haven't a clue... Still haven't found the Swedish crystal champagne flutes.  Or the wooden box of silverware.  I did find extra pairs of brown slippers from LLBean...defective and very inexpensive (to employees only).

But none of the "good stuff" is being found.

The frozen stiff paints etc have thawed out...we will find out if they still "'work" when I find my brushes. I have my watercolor brushes but the ones for acrylic paint- a mystery to be solved.

I cleared out a shelf in the hall closet--where we keep coats etc.... Art Supplies...lots of really nice things. so I took some of them out...now to find a new closet to use as a storage area.   So I can USE them. SEE them. REMEMBER I own them.   The order should be Remember, Find, See.. Use...... Really nice stuff.

Listened to PBS- Opera..very dramatic and open air and raining. Pavarotti......various important singers sang... ...I recorded it so I could fast forward thru the talking parts where they ask for money.  I have at least one of his CD's with Rigoletto, La Traviata, and La Boheme.....to listen to.   I might have a second CD.  It was very very nice to just sit and listen and watch it rain.  As I said- I recorded it...so will watch and listen again as soon as I finish my book.... Katherine Center's How to Walk Away.  I've read it several times already in the past few years.

Perhaps daughter can find the Trade Paper copy for me.  Well, I have things to do...sort, wash, dry, put away.  And my coffee to reheat.....drink......finish the book. Sun is NOT shining here in Maine.
