Sunday Night News

Here it is midnight and I thought I'd say a few words.

I just read my friend Trish's Blog-----so enjoyable, and my friend Ann's Blog all about her wonderful husband----also very enjoyable and uplifting. I don't have anything that great to say. I finished the biography I was reading about Jimmy Stewart. It was very interesting and his personlity was not what I thought it was. He was a VERY conservative, somewhat repressed, up-tight Presbyterian (sorry if any of you are of that persuasion), staunch Republican who didn't marry until he was in his 40's. His dad had enormous influence over him his whole life and Henry Fonda was his best friend, even if they didn't agree about politics. We always think of him related to 'It's a Wonderful Life" but that movie wasn't even popular in it's day! Interesting, huh?

I cleaned out my closet (I HATE that job) and cleaned the den----except for dusting the bookshelves. In my house dust is a "country" accent. Whenever I dust it just comes back. I'm working on de-cluttering my house as best I can with a husband who is a pack-rat, and doesn't want to let go of ANYTHING----for sentimental reasons!!! I asked him to pick up some trash that spilled in my wastebasket today, and I saw him pick out the rubberband that was in there!! GOOD GRIEF!! We are soooooooo different in this area. I'm striving to be like my daughter-in-love, Rachael----When something comes into their house---something else goes OUT. I love this and am T R Y I N G to do it. sigh....

I made chili today (really good) and tomorrow I have to buy a new remote b/c ours died. I hate when that happens. I can't complain, this one lasted for almost 10 years!

Sherri's sister-in-law, Leah had a baby girl, Sarah Nicole----under 6 lbs. I'm not sure that spelling is correct. I can't wait to see her. Tomorrow is another day..... (Gosh I'm so profound I can't stand it!) =)
