topped
Our perfect day was topped off with my getting miserably lost. Which isn’t necessarily perfect, just expected. I always find my way back to familiar territory; we just cross a few state lines before we get there. By the time I did finally find my way back to downtown Dwaine was ready to leave work so we just picked him up. Since he was home early there was lots of time for the 3 Lee Men to wrestle before dinner. With yummy soup in our bellies and all tuckered out, we all fell asleep to the sound of the wind knocking on our windowpanes. It was a perfect day in all of its simplicity.
December…addendum
Today was my other perfect day…
The GOP Baby and I listen to C-Span radio in the morning. My favorite segment is, of course, open calls, where the average American gets to spout off on some issue of the day. This morning the main topic is the indictment of Congressman Jefferson (D LA), he of the 90k in the freezer (I’ve checked my freezer; no gifts from the money gnomes).
The surprising thing are all the callers who don’t care about the allegations against the Congressman, but rather, use this as an excuse to rant about Bush, who, according to one caller is the “greatest liar of all time.” Okay, it really is not surprising; I’m just trying to avoid being completely cynical.
Again, the boys and I found ourselves downtown taking a walk and looking for adventure. It was a crystal clear icy cold day and we were on our way to see the National Christmas Tree. This immense tree is on The Ellipse outside of the White House. A few nights ago we had gone to see the big tree, lights and all of the 50 small trees that are decorated to represent each of the states. Typically, I’m not not one for surprise visits but last evening was one of the exceptions to the rule. Last night two friends (Roy Matthews and David Baker) from when I used to live here in the Tri-Cities dropped by around 8:00pm. We visited for about 2-1/2 hours. It was very very enjoyable to have these two gentlemen drop by. I appreciated their visits and look forward to rekindling our friendships.
