I’ve got to run to the general store in a bit-the electrician I work with is bringing the replacement A/C unit for this place and I’ve got to pick up some stuff for the installation. Garage guy can pay me back if he wants the thing when I leave-if not, I’ll take it with me to install in the cottage/cabin I build for myself...

You were thinking xsbaby passed? Drivers ed will be in July. Xsteen’s lease is up. She’s getting another rav 4, more features and less per month so she’s happy.

This week I watched “Saving Mr. Banks” and “Philomena” - both were sadder than I expected, although Philomena was just heartbreaking. I have “lets go fly a kite” stuck in my head!

think i saw previews for those in the theaters. i will not purposefully watch something sad. i cry far too easily to set myself up for something like that. i will watch the Flyers-Rangers game tonight, and that may be sad, but i at least won’t bawl about it! LOL!

I think I’ll watch Star Trek again tonight-everything else movie-wise looks either cops-vs-bad guys or blood drenched-either way, that is depressing...

I got the stuff the electrician asked for, and I’m kitted up with my trusty toolbelt to be his helper because his isn’t available today-now he is late-but he hasn’t been here before, and the neighborhood is off the beaten track...

Two years ago, there were two young Mormons in the village on mission. My son befriended them and I fed them lunch one day. Charming and sweet, they did not try to preach to me. They had volunteered to help him with a project in the yard.

Saving Mr. Banks was not what I was expecting! The writer of Mary Poppins was mean and emotional and odd. Disney was after her for 20 years for the rights to make the movie and she only relented at the end because she was completely broke and about to lose her home. Even then, she had a lot of veto power and didn’t seem to like anything they were doing. At the end they played a real tape of her during one of the meetings (she insisted on taping every single meeting) and she sounded like an old mean school teacher, correcting every statement and word choice! lol
