Ho, hum! The day after Labor Day and
not much is new. A huge crowd greeted Kim Davis when she got out of jail,
hailing her as a martyr for religious freedom. To me, the most interesting
thing about that is that both Mike Huckabee and Ted Cruz were on hand to greet
her, and Huckabee managed to body block Cruz out of the publicity. No small
trick that. One of the Republican candidates (who can keep them straight?) is
saying that the killing of a Houston-area law enforcement officer is directly
the fault of President Obama. Why not? He’s been blamed for everything else.
Dick Cheney is pushing for war with Iran but meanwhile some country is about to
indict him—and Halliburton—for bribery. Donald Trump claims his prestigious
prep school was every bit as hard as Vietnam—that ought to win him the veteran
vote. See? Nothing changes.
Locally the big news is an expected
wet cold front. I may wait up until two a.m. to see if it really arrives. Early
September is soon for a permanent cool down but a little relief will be nice.
Busy day—breakfast with the Book
Ladies, who sometimes talk about books and lots of the time don’t. They’ve been
doing that for at least twenty years, probably more, and I look forward to
those monthly meetings—and treating myself to an egg on buttered toast.
Supposed to go to lunch with my former colleague and now good friend Melinda,
but she was overwhelmed with a project—so I offered her lunch at home. Nice to
know I can whip together a pretty, ladylike luncheon with little planning. We
had chilled salmon (out of the can but that good kind I order from the
Northwest) on a bed of lettuce, with cherry tomatoes and hard-boiled eggs,
potato salad from last night, and cantaloupe and raspberries. Looked pretty and
tasted delicious. For supper, I went to pick up Phil and his dog, since Subie
wasn’t going, and we met the neighbors at the Grill. I had my heart set on a
loaded baked potato—but they didn’t have any! So I ordered cheese grits—who knew
they had peppers in them? The conversation and laughter made up for my
lightweight dinner—which was probably good for me.
Jordan and Christian are down to one
car again, so she will take mine in the morning. A good plan because it forces
me to stay home and work.
A friends asked me the other day what
I was looking forward to—a trip, a special event? I said not really anything—Christmas
is too far away to think about. Maybe that’s why today seems humdrum—I need
some anticipation!
Sweet dreams, y’all!
