We stayed up late last night watching the Oscars from start to finish! First time in YEARS that I've done that!! I must say it was a pretty entertaining show! Since we were up late that may explain why we slept in til 10:00 this morning! It got down to 14 last night for our low temp and warmed up today to all of 31 degrees!
We left the hot water dripping in the kitchen sink last night but the cold water froze up on us.
How do you keep things from freezing up North?? I can't even IMAGINE!!
It was a nice slow Monday for us!
We had our morning coffee and reading then Louis Dean went off to his music room. He has been working on the song 'Pictures From Life's Other Side' which is a seriously sad song!! He says the sad songs have the best music and he loves them!
We met back in the den for lunch and a movie.......
All 111 minutes of it at one sitting!!
We got a kick out of that play pen!!
Louis Dean was pretty impressed I could sit that long!
(Just between you and me - it wasn't EASY!!)
It was refreshing to see a wholesome movie as opposed to all the grit and grisly ones out now.
Sunday I watched 'My Dog Skip' made in 2000 starring Kevin Bacon that was really good. It was set in the 1940's. Wish they made more movies like that!
This afternoon I baked an old fashioned Sock it to Me Cake!!
I used to make these all the time and they still remind me of Mrs. Swanner at Crestview Baptist Church.
She was FAMOUS for her Sock it to me Cakes!!
I love the way a house smells when you bake.
While it was in the oven I went out to carry the trash to the curb -
LOVED coming in to the warm kitchen and a cake hot from the oven!
Some days Louis Dean and I are so busy - and then there's days like today when we have the luxury of doing what we need to do at a leisurely pace.
It's after 8:00 now so our day is done. Time to pour a glass of wine and sit by the fire for a bit.
But first I must turn that electric blanket on!!
