I think people are reading faster now that it is summer, at least it appears that way at the rate books are becoming available. This afternoon I put a hold on a book and it just came in. I'll wait until tomorrow before I download it as I have two books already.

DR Ginny are you stocking up for your new housemates?

Are you losing your guest room?

Has anyone been watching LONGMIRE? I'm not a fan of Westerns, but I do like this series. Contemporary, not wild west.

Vixmom, did you get your colonoscopy results? Is all well there?

In the distant past, I would have said plain old (but decent) Wonder Bread-style white bread. But nowadays I'm thinking a tomato sandwich could work very well with any number of breads, notably sourdough, rye, whole wheat, multi-grain, etc. etc.

Speaking of POP, does anyone know why it closed after such a short time? I also found it quite magical and wanted to return ASAP. Bruce, it was probably you who told me about it.

We do not watch LONGMIRE because we can't stand the actress who plays Vic. If you had read the books you would truly understand my objections to her. In the novels she is funny and described, by Longmire, as an Italian Goddess. The actress isn't funny and she doesn't look Italian.

I liked the rest of the cast very much. Shortly after it was published I read the latest novel and was very pleased. I am sorry this one actress can ruin the show for us. My brother watches anyway even though he doesn't like her either.

My favorite sandwich is cheese and avocado with lettuce, tomato, and Veganaise, on whole-grain bread. Yummy!

I actually like the actress, but I find her character irritating. I assumed that's how it was written. Apparently, the director chose to deviate from the novels. Casting can certainly ruin a show.

She is funny in the books, not irritating. The right actress would be funny with the script vs irritating

I was not expecting to like Lou Diamond Phillips in his role and think he is terrific.

DR Jane, the new housemates are on their own, food-wise. We have yet to have the food/kitchen conversation, but I'd like them to be as independent as possible. I did say the other day I'm not really willing to be chief cook for four people. Heck, I don't much want to cook for two anymore...

And, yes, we are losing our capacity for overnight guests unless they want to sleep on our family room couch or Rob & Mary Linda's futon.

Today would have been my father's 96th birthday. He passed away when I was a teen. He was an amateur photographer. A few years ago on his birthday I honored him by buying a good camera. I think he would have loved digital cameras.

Today in his honor Wae-Ling and I headed north to photograph butterflies and things. She became ill when we got to Payson, so we came home. I imagine she will be sleeping most of the afternoon.

Laura, I think your photographs have done your father proud!

The various times our boys lived back home they cooked for me. We did the main shopping and they did some as well. Bryan wasn't working at all when he lived here but Craig was so he did more shopping than Bryan did. It just fell into place with a mix of shopping and cooking, cleaning and errands. I think being single it was different.

Well, I'm off to the last rehearsal of "The Tempest" without an audience. Tomorrow night is the free preview. I'm sure that it'll go quite smoothly. If not...it's probably not my problem.

Until later!

What is in a tomato sandwich besides tomatoes and bread?

Mayonnaise.

It seemed to me mayo would be needed

I like a sprinkling of fresh dill on top, too. And I want sourdough bread.

Watching a tape of Vinnette Carroll's "When Hell Freezes Over, I'll Skate," a collection of black poetry by Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen and others. It stars Lynne Thigpen. I really miss her. What a great performer.

I coughed so hard that I tore something in my ribcage / side / spine / all of the above. The pain is really bad. I am already into my second vicodin, but it isn't touching the pain. So forgive me if I don't type anymore posts tonight.

Oh, I'm sorry, TCB. I hope it is better in the morning.

I was up very late last night working on my books for the office. I finally was getting ready for bed around 2:15 when I heard a crash and glass breaking and Ricky flew past me and down the basement stairs. Somehow he knocked a picture off a table and the glass in the frame broke. So I ran the vacuum at 2:30 AM. Then I went down the basement and poor Ricky was crouched under the table and very scared. I carried him upstairs and calmed him down. It was actually quite cute.

Since I had to have my car at the dealership for service by 8:30 and the dealership is about a 25 minute drive from here, I didn't get much sleep last night.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #148 on:** July 09, 2014, 08:11:36 PM »

Ricky is still quite a clumsy cat

Tonight I should have mowed the yard AGAIN, but instead I got a hair cut and just sat around the house watching PBS
