A bright, sunny Saturday

This is my first March post. It has been a beautiful, sunny day. Not too bad temperature wise--but very windy.

I got up early today, started laundry, took care of the cats, cleaned the bathrooms and did the dishes. I wanted to get my chores done early. I met my friends for lunch and I wanted to have everything done before I left so that when I got home this afternoon, I'd be free of house work and would be able to do fun stuff.

A few days ago I bought tea from Adagio Teas--tried a bunch of new kinds. I bagged up some samples for Keith to try. He was planning to come over today to photograph the birds that visit our yard--so I bagged up some tea for him to take home. Before I left I put food out for the birds and squirrels to be sure we'd have visitors for Keith to photograph.

Brian came over to help Bob paint the trim for Manland. He had never put up the trim. Now, it's all painted and when it's dry, he'll be able to get Manland finished.

Last weekend Bob and Brian carried my new sewing cabinet/cutting table up to the sewing room. It looks and works great! I've been sorting out and throwing away old fabric I don't need anymore. Re-organized the closet--really getting the sewing room into shape--now it's finally functional to sew and work on crafts.

Today was fun. We celebrated Karen's b'day at the new tea room in Leonardtown-- Tea and Scones. It was a wonderful meal--we had a traditional English tea. She loved her gifts. After lunch we wandered down the street to a new wine shop where Karen and I each bought a bottle of wine. We went into a cool kitchen store and a vintage clothing shop. Had a great time.

I received season 3 of Happy Days the other day. I used to love that show. When I found out season 3 was available I ordered it from Barnes and Noble. Bob and I were watching one of the DVDs the other day and in this particular episode Richie, Ralph and Potsie wanted to go away for their spring break. They plotted on how they would ask their dads for money for the trip. Howard Cunningham was reading the paper when Richie walked into the room. Trying his planned approach, Richie sits down and asks, "Dad, do you remember the first time you went away with your friends?"
Howard answered, "Yes."
Richie asks, "Where'd you go?"
Howard replied, "World War II."

I couldn't stop laughing. It was so funny.

And, that's all I can think of for today.
