Weekends are definitely more enjoyable when you are working! Although other people don't seem to feel the need to be doing something all the time, like I do.

Unfortunately, yesterday morning was misting. It was quite pleasant for walking, but too wet for the gardening I had planned. Today looks perfect: sunny, not yet hot, but looking like it will be. The garden will probably enjoy some hot sunny weather to get things ripening. I have been thinking for weeks that the blueberries would be ready soon...and wondering if the birds would eat them instead of us. Mind you, there is only a handful.

I was a little reluctant to go to "Spa Day" at Janna's. Her friend Nancy got to talk about how much she liked the Beauty Culture (maybe that's not the name) line of skin care products. Debbie V., Becky, Pat W., and Alice B. were there too. It was fun to see them all, but you know I have little patience for that kind of thing. It all felt great, but I didn't buy anything. Janna seemed to be enjoying it and I'm sure it would be good for me, but I still have the stuff I bought the last time she did this with some other brand, about 20 years ago. No point in buying stuff you won't use. Soon we will see if I start looking older than her from not using skin care products all these years! Debbie V.'s hair looked great--it is still really curly, but she has stopped coloring it, and it is shot through with gray; looks like highlights. Sam has graduated but has not found work as a landscape architect. Then Janna made a salad bar (lettuce from our garden, spinach, arugula, peppers, cucumber, toasted nuts, two kinds of cheese, etc...). We also had bread and butter. It was good, but you know I always want dessert...I kind of wanted to stay and do something else and go out to dinner and the movies, but I went home.

It was really too hot to do much outside, although Ray went out and stacked some wood. I worked a little on the Bender video; must get it to them before Saturday. I don't know what to do for the transitions from one speaker to the next. I guess I need to insert some black slides.

After supper, Ray and Mom and I went to Cine. Debbie V. had suggested they were in some financial trouble. We would all hate for them to close. So I joined ($60 for 2), which means we get $2 off every movie we see, making it $6 each. And we got root beer floats and popcorn and a cookie. Sometimes we get champagne--I had trouble deciding between root beer float and champagne!

It was an interesting movie and I watched the cinematography some...very gritty scenes from the point of view of driving a cab, mostly at night, and living in a cheap motel. Among other things, it's about different cultures.
