Before School Backgammon With Granny |
Mitch In The Morning |
As I mentioned yesterday, everyone had things to do, so Evie and I had the house to ourselves till noon when Beth returned. It was strange for once to be in an empty house, empty that is of family. Evie, of course, spent much of the morning 'tidying' up the house while I read about 'tidying and decluttering' on my Kindle. Guess which seemed to be more effective, reading about it or doing it.
Despite the cold, I took Cody for our morning walk, and he does not seem to mind the cold, perhaps a mixture of Chow and Shepherd are somewhat immune to the cold. He can sit outside the door for an hour without wanting to come in at times. I can see why people who have dogs, especially larger ones that need to be walked, are healthier than people who don't have dogs. And walking a dog becomes not only a habit but a necessity for both dog and owner.
Late morning, we made another shopping despite the fact that we had a mega shopping day at Costco on Sunday. I guess cooking for six means a lot more shopping than cooking for two, especially with two hungry grandchildren. So off we went to Trader Joe's, then Stop N Shop, to get the makings for Cuban sandwiches and black bean soup, our menu for the evening meal. It was bone chilling cold out, like most of this part of the East Coast and we were glad to get home.
Beth was home by noon, and we had bean dip, tostitos, and a sandwich for lunch. We sat in the sun room and watched the rest of the Oscars from the previous night, the highlight being Lady Gaga's singing of a medley of songs from The Sound of Music. She has an amazing voice, hidden from most by her bizarre antics and looks. She appeared normal last night, perhaps suggesting a change in her career from pop idol to crooner.

Rami just took Mitch to school, Marisa has to be taken to the bus in five minutes, Rami to the train in a half hour, then the morning will slow down some, as the rest of us can relax. Beth has an appointment at 11:00 and Evie and I have no where we have to go today, except for walking Cody.
