As I look through the moments of my day, I hope to bring details to mind that will help me realize my goals--stated and secret. I want to turn this journal into a book one day. I also want to get people thinking about their own lives.
I woke up this morning to birds in the backyard, and to our beautiful new bird feeder. The birds it attracts are tiny softly colored little guys. They're so excited to find that a new restaurant has been opened in the neighborhood. I saw a simple sparrow, enjoying the flat feeding station. Some people don't like sparrows. I knew someone who called them rats. But mom and I like sparrows. They're part of the bird family.
I wanted to be available to help MKate in the afternoon. Someone called in sick and it's the tail end of the sale--which can get busy. She didn't need much help but I was able to go to the bank for her.
I called about an ad for someone who designs, installs and takes care of aquariums. All we'd have to do is feed. He's a guy with a lot of different talents. Now he's building a new business. I was surprised to learn that he lives in Nashville just outside Bloomington. Still he's got no problem coming to Indy to work with us and once a month to care for the tank.
I think we're going to start with a 20 to 29 gallon tank. We'll see about the fish we want. This guy says that we can get some colorful fish in clear water. We're not getting into salt water. Yet.
Finally movie night. We decided to see an early movie--6:30 pm. Luke read me the movie reviews and I thought that "Paris" sounded good. MKate was able to join us. We ate at home and I fixed a delicous turkey in cream sauce dish.
The movie was not what I expected. Not a happy, romantic story. Gene Kelley did not dance in and sing "Singin' in the Rain , " with Leslie Caron. It started with a young man who is dying of heart disease. It was a deeply textured series of stories about human lives. We all liked it and thought it deserved it's 3 stars.
