Today was a nice day. The weather is really weird. The sun shone most of the day but with the breeze it was quiet cool. I found that out when I went to Willow Wood Acres Garden Center at 10:AM to hear Linda Goodine, an herb specialist that I heard last year in Plymouth. Kate and I went out to her place near Kiel last year to buy some of her herbs which are wonderful. I did get several herbs that I wanted from the Willow Wood Acres and will go back there to check for my other fill ins, but will have to to to Linda's place to pick up the large leaf basil that none of the nursery's seem to carry. She sometimes has other fun things too.

The herbs that I bought were a purple basil, a new basil for me that is very small leaved and much stronger in flavor than the others. I also got a summer and winter savory. Linda assures me that I need to start using the savories.

It was a lovely morning. I had to put in my proxy for the condo meeting. But it was worth it.

I got home just in time to fix dinner for Dick. I had had snacks at the class so was not too hungry. We had Dick's leftover spaghetti for our dinner. Actually, this the day we used lots of leftovers. We had steak, potatoes and eggs (my leftover steak and potatoes) for breakfast and Spaghetti ( Dick's leftovers for our lunch.) Then for dinner we split our last venison pasty, with leftover asparagus and cram sauce and Waldorf Salad. So, as you can see, we are eating like kings. I am sure that you are not that interested in how we eat but it is a big part of my planning.

I went to the 4PM mass. It was very nice and now, with any luck at all, I can stay home all day tomorrow. You have no idea how much days without outside commitments mean to me.

When I got home, I cleaned out the cupboard above the pantry as it has been weighing on my mind for some time. Now we are watching Gigi. Dumb Chelsea made me take her out during one of my very favorite songs. Thank Heaven's for Little Girls, sung by Maurice Chevalier. I was so disappointed. I seldom get to see anything all the way through these days. My mind is turning into mush. I keep hanging on because I know that some day, I will be missing that girl. We became impatient with our Zero and always regretted it. I don't want any guilt feelings when our Chelsea goes ahead to wait for us. I hope that Zero finds her. I want them and a couple of other pets waiting for me when I cross over,

God love you
