monday morning musings

It’s a cloudy,

blustery day,

perfect day,

for laundry,

on the,

clothesline,

fluttering away,

being infused with,

oxygen.

Mom’s been washing,

since early,

she has a method,

and,

it’s best,

not to interfere:-)

Unfortunately,

we couldn’t make,

the play last night,

it poured,

buckets.

Stayed home,

and,

watched,

John Adams.

Couldn’t possibly,

say enough,

good things,

about that series,

if you are interested,

in history,

in politics,

in people,

who bring real change,

to the world,

it’s a series for you.

One of the things,

I liked most about it,

is the depiction,

of the deep,

love and friendship,

of John and Abigail Adams,

partners,

lovers,

friends,

they depended,

on each other,

who wouldn’t want,

an Abigail,

as an advisor,

a strong shoulder,

an attentive ear,

a love unconditional,

inspiring:-)

I went to,

the library,

yesterday,

and took,

out a volume,

of Janet Flanner’s,

Paris Journals,

it covers the years,

1944 to 1965,

many writers,

refer to Flanner,

as an inspiration,

and someone,

to read,

I like memoirs,

and journals,

these are more,

columns,

she wrote for,

The New Yorker,

for many years,

I love,

The New Yorker,

you all know that:-)

Big book,

will take a while,

I’ll keep you,

posted on my progress,

through it.

Some,

very sad news,

this morning,

the leader of,

The New Democratic Party,

and Official Leader of the Opposition,

Jack Layton,

died at his home,

last night,

he was a nice man,

who brought,

hope and optimism,

to the often,

tired,

democratic process,

our country will miss,

his voice,

his charm,

his enthusiasm,

Godspeed Jack.

Later girls,

BB
