Apparently, apartments were the thing to dream about last night.

TOD:
My first memory of a book that got my emotions all worked up was Melanie's death in Gone With the Wind, which I read when I was about 12.
I remember being moved to tears by the following books:
To Kill A Mockingbird
Charlotte's Web
A Simple Plan
Claire Tomalin's biography of Jane Austen
several of BK's books

I have nightmares about most of the haunted places I've lived; my grandmother's home at 711 Tenth Avenue is the most frightening.

I know there have been more than this, but yes to Mockingbird and yes to Kritzerland. Capote's short story A Christmas Memory. I'm blanking on others right now.

There are MANY more than that. They just aren't coming to me this morning.

Oh well. More coffee and some ham and eggs are calling.

I haven't bought or had a "ham steak" in years. And not for any particular reason. I certainly love me my ham. But I was browsing a different section in the supermarket the other day and this damned ham just called out to me. "Take me home!", it said, plain as day. And that brings us to where we are now.

It is a nice Saturday here....weather wise....

I just got back from having breakfast with my cousins Ross and Karl, who are in town to see a baseball game.

it turns out that last week was the final working Saturday of this tax season, but Monday (tax filing day) should still be quite busy.

I'm up, I'm up - barely - horrible night of non-sleep. I think I may have to just give up on red sauce - my tummy cannot deal with it anymore.

Jane · « **Reply #43 on:** April 16, 2016, 09:15:05 AM »

Tomato sauce is hard on the stomach and also causes reflux, a double whammy. Since having to go on reflux medication in order to eat I can occasionally eat tomato sauce without getting an upset stomache.

I can't even remember ALL the books that have made me cry. It can be a bit embarrassing reading and crying in public places. Fortunately I cry quietly, most the time.

I remember reading the end of Old Yeller after hiding it behind my social studies book in class. I sobbed loud enough that my friend sitting in front of me turned around. Fortunately I was in the back of the class and the teacher didn't notice.

I have never read My Antonia and think I should rectify this. Last night I began The Painted Sisters and am wondering if it is worth continuing. Any opinions on either Book?

DR Ginny I believe you have read them both.

Jane · « **Reply #46 on:** April 16, 2016, 12:11:39 PM »

I went for a 4 mile walk, returned, washed off the blood that was on my hand and jacket-from where I don't know, cooked cream of wheat, and there wasn't a single post between this one and my previous post.

Ginny · « **Reply #47 on:** April 16, 2016, 12:13:21 PM »

Yes, DR Jane, I have "read" both of the books you mentioned. I actually listened to My Antonia. The first audio version was narrated by a woman, who was awful. When I found a different version by George Guidall, I was much happier. I read the Painted Girls on my iPad. Seems I got a little bogged down, but I did finish it.

Mary Linda and I had a nice time at the fundraiser, but it went a little long. The featured speaker was Will Hillenbrand, a children's book artist who's from Cincinnati. He was great!

Back from breakfast (light and with ginger ale instead of Diet Coke).

Our injured actor ended up going to the hospital last night - the took x-rays - mild concussion, no internal bleeding and he'll rest for a few days and be right as rain - he'll be with us on Monday I believe and we'll ease him back in and we won't return to the act one finale till the end of the week anyway.

After reading this I'm still on the fence with The Painted Girls. My Antonia seems to be on a lot of "must read" list. Maybe I will switch books and see if it grabs me. I'm interested enough in Painted girls but know there story is just going to be depressing and possibly take the beauty out of Degas's dancing girls.

Having been an injured actor myself (remember, DR Elmore?), I can tell you that young man will always approach that point in the show with just a bit of trepidation.

I was playing in a production of CATS when an actor took his leap in a scene blackout and landed front teeth first against a part of the set. He knew he was in trouble, but also that his mic was still on, and he managed to not make a sound as he sought help. One upper tooth had been knocked out, which he found later after the hospital told him to look for it because it could very likely be put back in - which I believe happened okay. That was scary and sickening, just hearing about it later.

It is finally Spring here. I went for my second bike ride of the year. And this time I was able to bike around the lake. The trees had no leaves. But the ducks were there and it was not muddy or too wet.

Actor mishaps are always scary!

The book that made me cry the most was Bright Side by Kim Holden. It actually made me feel too much.
