Sigh. Monday morning...who knows what this week will bring?


It poured all day yesterday. Ray and I walked a little in the morning, when it was raining but not pouring, so I guess it didn't pour all day. We had French toast for breakfast, but only a slice each.

I sang in choir and ray was the sound engineer. The service was excellent--about not expecting everyone to be like you. there were 10-20 visitors; I have no idea why. mostly young couples. We had our 4th sunday lunch afterward. Ray made tuna-noodle salad (it was the men's lunch).

Then we rushed off to see Avatar--a really fun way to spend 3 hours on a rainy Sunday afternoon. The matinee was only $9 for 3D. The movie draws from Terminator and Star Wars, as well as Fern Gully and the Great Kapok Tree (? a Dr. Seuss book?), and is even reminiscent of Ice Age 3. It is a fairy tale with a love story and a happy ending. But there are some good messages and, as others have said, it is groundbreaking film making. The hero is a paraplegic, which is nice. since I generally only go to happy movies, it is always depressing to leave the fantasy world and remember how flawed our world is--getting moreso all the time.

Of course, we knew the danger--it seemed like we did nothing all day. I made supper and thought about the meals for the next few days. After supper, there was a tornado warning so we went down cellar and played cards for a few hands. There's an old card table down there that we set up under the light, with the least broken chairs we could find. We had to make forays upstairs for paper and nuts to keep score with and thought how ironic it would be if a tornado hit just then...how did your father die? well, he was getting the paper to keep score...

Then I read some, because it was football on TV, and went to bed by 10.
