1/29,30 NM, Painting: L plays detective, Movie Night

1/29 The key memory for Friday was working on the painting. It's almost finished and I did what I hoped I'd do rather what I have done in the past. I gave it my all. I could have said, "Good enough and the end." But I got myself into the kitchen for water and brushes and I worked and worked until my back hurt. Now I'm am truely bringing out my vision and I probably only have another few hours to say everything I want to say on this canvass.

1/30 Luke talked to Bill (the older gentleman who calls us in the night. It seems that AT&T cannot find a problem. They are not being woken up in the middle of the night. (More than once sometimes) Bill's sister seems to have our phone number. So when he calls her at odd times, I mean he's 90 something, it's understandable.

Luke wants to figure out the mystery himself. (AT&T isn't interested ) We got in the car and tried to follow the clues that Bill gave us. Finally we found an address that seemed like what Bill was describing ( I couldn't have done it) He's a natural detective. He got out of the car and ring the door bell, no one was home. Her neighbor wasn't home either. We'll go back.

Movie night. I wanted to see Tooth Fairy. Luke owes me because I let him take the lead in our home reconstruction. But MKate didn't want to see it either, so I gave in. We ate at Boston Chicken. Very good for the diet. We didn't get into our first choice movie. Another couple left and we have had to do that in the past. But . . . yay. There was another movie we all wanted to see, "The Young Victoria." It was romantic and it showed the politcial climate of the time. I didn't understand some of the mechinations but I loved the relationship. And I remember reading that this was Victoria and Albert had a life long love. So I'm glad we saw the movie before it disappeared.
