time spent well
Yesterday doing German was an almost impossibility due to the holiday-like atmosphere in the air due to the tropical storm. All the activities at the ministry were cancelled so Chris and Daniel went to a movie. The pouring rain outside lent a cozy atmostphere inside, and I thought, well I should get a movie, too. So I picked up the 6 hr Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth as Darcy and invited Betsy (Daniel's wife) for a Pride & Prejudice party...complete with chocolate chip and chocolate mint cookies. I didn't know how long it was going to be. So, with breaks and such, we started at 4 pm and ended at 11 pm. It was very fun. I liked this P & P, too...probably because I'm a huge Colin Firth fan.
Today I had to go all the way out to Walmart because it has a fabric section, and I needed fusible web to mend some pants of Chris. I found lovely bits of fabric that were very beautiful, so I bought them to start a little fabric collection, inspired by Grace. I also found a jolly yellow/gold print just the size for a tablecloth. It fits perfectly on the kitchen table and lends cheer and warmth to the dreary place.
