Today was teaching day for Del and major laundry day for me. Sheets are hanging everywhere! I also cleaned out the fridge and did a few other things.
Del and I ate separately tonight because my date with my buddy Levi started bfore he got home from class. I ate dinner with EHJ and had just enough time to finish a touching little book by Simon Worrell called TRAVELS IN THE HUNDRED AKER WOOD before going upstairs. Lovers of Winnie the Pooh, AKA Mike Pukuotukas, will recognize the spelling of aker. Worrall is a British journalist/author who tells how te map and stories served as his introduction to England when he was growing up in Singapore and later as a guide for his son when they visited the area. They were a divorced family with Dad in the US and Mom and son in Germany. It's a quick read, but one Pooh lovers might find moving. I did, but I cry during Hallmark commercials. It's quite a different story with those little bears and the toilet paper commercials. They just give me the creeps.
We got upsetting news tonight. One of the "boys", the group Del hung out with weekly in Akron is not doing well after surgery. He and his family are certainly in our thoughts and prayers tonight.
Levi and I had a good visit. He is nine months old and crawling all over the place. He also cruises the furniture as though he is going to take off walking any minute. He is a very vocal child, and we enjoyed doing the imitation games and the I drop it off the sofa and you pick it up 80 times while I laugh game. I love to watch him point and then look at me to be sure I'm seeing what he sees. Being force fed soggy rice cakes, not so much. Little rascal had the nerve to doze off shortly after 7.
