Thursday night the Law Foundation celebrated fifty years of existence. The word fifty was everywhere. It was on the napkins, on the candy and water they gave us as a souvenir. It was on the wall across the stage.
We started the evening in a room where we had drinks and o’dorves n one room then went to a fancy extra large dinning room where we had dinner and heard talks by celebrities and had special entertainment by Yo Yo Ma, a cellist with world a renowned Reputation.
I showed him Lizzie’s web page for her business. I came home and took a nap. Catherine and Eliza brought me a huge bag of apples. We got to talk. I asked Eliza about school. She said the teacher asked the kids what they wanted to learn about and most of the kids answered. WAR. She told us a quote about Albert Einstein. He said if we have a third WW and used atomic weapons the fourth WW would be fought with sticks and stones.
When we got home I took the extra food to Walker’s house: -quiche, fruit and chips. We both unpacked. I took a nap and Rick went to the BHSC. I am still a bit tired. 🥱 I took the sheets off the bed and put them in the washing machine. My body hurts but I am not exactly sure how to describe it. I go to see Dr. Miendershtom on Tuesday. Maybe I should take more Methotrexate. I just sent pictures to the other people who went to Fort Lewis Lodge.
We are staying at the Bend House. Rick is in the common rooms with friends from Rotary. I hear them talking in very hushed tones. I am sitting on a long sofa right in front of the trundle bed. It is an old fashioned bed with lovely quilt covers to keep us warm. I slept okey. When I don’t fall asleep I do my breath work. I already took a shower and did my toilet so I am comfortable with my pajamas on. It is a bit chilly. I am not sure how to dress today. I have plenty of clothes. Right now I plan to put on shorts.
Last night we had dinner together at the Lodge. We drove in our car with the Stones. We walked down to the river together. Some members of our troop had trouble walking back. I did okey. I stayed with the Archers. We went into Buck’s Bar. We ordered wine. Paul paid for it. Some people ordered beer. I did not pay attention to what people drank. I ask Paul about Isreal. The Archer’s went there a year ago. We compared notes since Rick and I went there about five years ago.
Everyday we see news about Isreal on the television and read about it in the newspaper. It is a never ending story. There does not to be an answer since no one likes the Jews. They have never liked them since the time of Jesus.
I always like the pictures at Fort Lewis. Chee has come over here and painted and I would like to see if they hang one of her pictures.
We are home from Saturday
Thursday. I am sitting in bed. It is perfect weather. I am tired. We went to the baths at Warm springs, we had lunch in the town of Hot springs. We went and did a tour on our own of the hotel at Hot Springs. We drove home. I gave Paul and Allison the gift I bought them, a plate with a recipe for Whisky soup. I want to send some pictures.
I recorded this later. I am trying to read over my former blogs.
I am still working on David Balduchi. I have been reading in bed. I want to finish the book today. I am also reading the psalms and a book I took from church about the Christian religion. I am still upset about the call from B yesterday and her tantrum.Rick said he would talk to her. I need to look at therapy sight.
I just finished the book.
“Calamity of Souls” the daughter killed her father with a Civil War sword. He had been abusive to her mother for years. Gordon, the father killed the mother and came after Christine and she killed him. The black Gardner was saved and the trial ends but he is later shot by a young teenage boy. Jack Lee is also shot but he lives.
The Gordon’s give Pearl a house and educate her and her children. The same boy also shoots Jack but. He lives after spending a long time in rehabilitation.
Later he goes to Chicago and sets up a law practice with Desiree Dubose, the black woman who helps his solve the first murder case against Jerome and Pearl.
Yulma is here with her crew of five woman.No one speaks English except Yulma. I put the money in an envelope with her name on the front. She also helps Walker and Hallie.Hallie has my car today.
I am sitting on the deck looking at the lake. I hear the vacuum running.
Rick had lunch with Catherine Bradley, she called the other day.She
quit working with Frank Hardy’s
Now, it is much later. The cleaners are all gone and Rick is at the gym doing his byclcleing
. If I write I slow down my life and know I cannot possible finish everything. I took a nap. Befor they left I had the worker vacuum this room. We had the crew help to clean out the closet. Rick said he is going to paint it.
Before the crew arrived I cleaned off the bed in B’s room. I buy Christmas gifts and then store them.
This Saturday I am going to go to Allu ni Hall and watch Larry Sabato and his Christal Ball. I think it will be entertaining after the Debate last night.
Tomorrow or the next day I will take a load to Good Will.
The UVA football game was delayed two hours. We were going to watch it but never did. We just went to bed. Tucker called from California and said he was watching it but the station turned it off. It was on National TV but not on local TV. Today we woke up and went to church. The lesson I was from the sermon about taking responsibility for your self.
Today I went to the Democratic headquarters and made phone calls for Kamala Harris. I still have a list of them on my phone. Tomorrow is Labour Day.
Yesterday I watche d three of Walker’s kids all day I have the most fun with Bess who loves to dance and makes up her own dance routines. We made jello when she first come over and later we ate it after it froze. I also make macaroni and chees. Rick brought home pizza which all the kids ate. Joseph wondered around the house. He does not like watching sports like his brother. Tucker watched sports the whole afternoon with Grandpa.
I woke up about six am. I have been reading a kids book about Bible history. I am going to read about corn because the book uses the word corn instead of wheat.
Rick wants to go out to eat. I said okey. It is light outside.
I am going to pick up Bess in a few minutes. I picked her up at Ballet.
I went to the Miller Center this morning to hear what an Inspector General does. He works at the Pentagon which I learned from him thousands of people. I did not take any pictures. I am writing this later from memory. The conference room was packed with people. Many of the seats are reserved. I sat on the right side below the cameras in the very front. A member of the team questioned Mr. Wine and also a writer from the Washington Post.
Both had tough jobs keeping abreast of what was happening in government and then recording it.
I think the Inspector general was fired by Trump.
We changed the company that will pick up trash because the new company is today. I will take it to the top of the driveway later. I have been trying to have my haircut in Crozet at Saloon. R. The owner has not called back. I am in front of the TV with the sound off but the Pictures of. Inside politics. Harris and Walz will do an interview tonight at nine. Tim Walz lots of personality like Trump, but he is not thinking only of himself but the country.
They are on a bus tour through Georgia right now. I make a corn casserole and ate a left over cupcake for lunch. It is 12:o’clock.
Rick is out shopping for food and clothes at Joseph Banks.
I just got a call from Charles Barnes at the Democratic headquarters.
I am going to write in Storyworth.
Last evening we went to see the Fordge, a religious movie with mostly black men. The story was a conversion story about a young 19 year old who does not want to go to college. He just wants to play basketball and video games. His mother tells him he has to grow up and play rent. His father was an alcoholic and abandoned the family.
My most recent knitting project was a baby hat which is on the mantle.
Rick is bringing down his laundry. I am wrong. He just came down ready for his daily trip to BHSC.
I wrote in my care journal earlier. Last night in the movie the older man gives Eliga his journal and he reads it. The story is pretty straight forward. The conflict is when the company More Fitness is having trouble getting an order finished on time. He and other employees work together and finish the order. A truck comes and the order is sent around the country ensuring the company’s success.
