Anne made her stew today! It was built around buffalo meat and included potatoes, parsnip, carrots, rutabaga, onion, celery, and turnip. Everything but the kitchen sink! Of course, that's what makes it so good! And, yes, it was delicious! Heck, I had three helpings, giving Anne the cubes of beef that snuck into my bowl!
While Anne was doing all the peeling, chopping, slicing and dicing I was picking up after Lady, cleaning up the leaves in the back and front yards, and changing out the incandescents over the sink in both bathrooms for compact florescent lights. The old bulbs I gave to Sun and Amy, next door, to use in their three bathrooms. Sun said that they've changed several of the bulbs in the past and it was a welcome gift to have spares.
After dinner Anne wanted to watch a movie. She had three that Justus had loaned her and we settled on "How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days" with Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey. It was a fairly cute movie and Anne seemed to like it, but I left her to it about 20 minutes in and ended up plunking on the guitar in my office instead.
After the movie, Anne came back into her office and found the Kennedy Center celebration of the Mark Twain award for Tina Fey on PBS. I joined her and we laughed at many of the clips from Tina's days at Second City and Saturday Night Live.
Then the news and it was off to bed for Anne and Lady. I, on the other had, had work to do. Putting out this email was preempted by a video on my iGoogle home page about "Living On One Dollar-A-Day". This was intriguing and, as I suspected, it was about the impoverished. But, what I hadn't expected was that it's setting is Guatemala!
Check out the videos and see (or remember) where Anne's family grew up and the life-style of the people they were attempting to help. Notice, also, that despite their abject poverty these people are still happy! It makes you wonder why so many have so much and, yet, cannot seem to find happiness within themselves.
Hold someone you love and feel way it lifts your spirits,
Don and Anne
