a Rainy Saturday

It has rained all day today, a steady downpour and it is still raining. Rick was out in the yard most of the day with Jim Mc Williams pruning trees and chopping down one tree. Jim has a machine that grinds up all the excess material and turns it into mulch. I stayed inside and worked at the computer and read left over newspapers and magazines. I still have some to read. I copied many of my pictures but learned that I need to buy another memory stick. Hallie and Walker were going to have a yard sale but cancelled it because of the rain.

I have two projects going on I am knitting sweater for my new grandchild and a picture I am preparing a canvas to paint with Dixie.

I am also taking course at UVA on Abraham Lincoln. WE heard a very famous lecturer on Wednesday at the Architecture school. Probably the most famous in the world. He was my age. He said he worked at the library of Congress when he was a young man and that got him interested in being an historian.
During the question and answer period I ask one question about his research and how he suspected some of the newspaper articles he thought were written by Lincoln and if how he came to his conclusion that they were authentic. He said you look and style and vocabulary. I AM still suspicious. I want to look at Walker's blog but don't seem to have any luck getting into it. I will try again.
