dual personalities

Friday again and another week has skated by.

My buddies are coming over after work today to have a drink and open the Florida room for business. It’s about time it warmed up enough to do so!

I will toast Eudora Welty (1909–2001) whose birthday is today.

“The events in our lives happen in a sequence in time, but in their significance to ourselves they find their own order, a timetable not necessarily–perhaps not possibly–chronological. The time as we know it subjectively is often the chronology that stories and novels follow: it is the continuous thread of revelation.” (One Writer’s Beginnings)

Then I plan to spend the weekend doing what I like to do. I will read/look at some of the books I bought last weekend at the estate sale in Elsah.

There are also lots more vintage New Yorker magazines to plow through.

This past week I watched two very vintage Cary Grant movies (His Girl Friday and My Favorite Wife) and I see more of that genre in my weekend. Old Cary is good for what ails you, for sure.

And, by the way, the wee lassie has stepped out in faith and is walking! Look, Ma, no hands! You go, girl! Of course, this means we will be chasing both of them around now! C’est la vie!

Don’t look so innocent!

I’m not sure where my DP is in her travels, but hopefully we will hear from her soon. Have a great weekend!
