Typical Sunday  morning.  The kids choir sang, and they were almost un-listenable.  The director is an idiot and has no sense of anything.  I'm hoping she retires soon.

Today, I'm hanging with the boys, doing laundry, etc.  Tonight I have to go in a play for callbacks for a production of Sister Act as a favor to a friend of mine.  I hope it's not going to last too long.

I didn't get any extra sleep, sadly, but it was sooo nice to have that extra hour. I like to take my sweet time about things on Sundays.

My neighbor is vacuuming his car. He has a lot of time on his hands and therefore keeps his car spotless. He sometimes gets upset with me because my car isn't spotless. I do like a clean car, but just have other priorities. I should come up with a good retort in case he chews me out again.

Well he might get the wrong idea, but hypothetically you could send him the link to this:

Tell him he is welcome to clean your car whenever he likes.   Heck he can fly here and clean mine as well

He actually hosed my car down once. He was washing his car and apparently was disgusted with mine. He later told me he'd done so. I was so busy with other things that I truly hadn't noticed. We apparently have differing views of what constitutes a dirty car. Mine was dusty, to be sure, but no bird droppings or other gunk. Just dust, really. To me, that's not too bad. And I don't use my car as a mobile junk room. The interior is clean. The hose-down occurred when I was having cardiac problems and that was my top priority. My car really wasn't on my radar then. I think he has too much time on his hands. He's a nice guy for the most part, but has a controlling streak.

...and we're HOME!  We attended church this morning where the ordination took place yesterday.  They had a festive Thanksgiving-style potluck afterwards - for the Bishop, not for us.  We ate and visited briefly before the 4-hour drive home.  I'm glad to be back in the Eastern time zone.

I'm watching "The Crown" on Netflix. It's about Queen Elizabeth II.  Some of it is slow moving but I'm enjoying it overall.  I don't think the actress playing the Queen is quite right for the role. 

I'll see if we can get this.  Lithgow as Chruchill, interesting.  I should watch it just to compare his performance to Albert Finney's which we thought was great.

Speaking of Lithgow, we saw him in THE ACCOUNTANT today.  Ben Affleck is the star of this film.  While I don't dislike his acting I have never been a fan.  As we were leaving the theater Keith asked if his respectability went up a few notches in my opinion.  It definitely did.

DR Elmore, I almost wish I hadn't discovered Local Donuts. Almost.

Salted Caramel. Yum.

You could have taken him plain Dunkin' Donuts, but you had to go all special.

I am sure these were far better than Dunkin'Donuts, which I personally would not want.

Another day of driving around the island, playing with cats and being lazy.

We made it to the southern coast for the first time. The water was more aggressive than the calm water on the north side. The economy was far worse.

I guess the tourists want gentle waters with their beach time.

That is nice you are helping the economy in the less touristy areas.  I felt bad about not traveling out of those.  Are you carrying cat food with you?  I wish we had.  We did give them fish & turkey, and donated money to a woman who was feeding tons of cats.

I am glad the photos have been enjoyed.  I forgot to go look for our evening sunset.  By the time I remembered it was over.  I have no idea if it was a pretty one or not.  This hour earlier is very early ;D

Tell him it is physically difficult for you and ask him we he would like to clean your car for you ;)

I would tell him to feel free to wash the outside of my car anytime he wanted.  I would want the mirrors and windows drive if they were hosed down-lol

John G, my favorite use of sea urchin roe is in an aquarium.

It's apparently a local specialty. They use it in a spread made with potatoes and olive oil all whipped up. I'd love to try it. I think it's called achinosalata, which spellcheck thinks should be "chinos always."
