March fo(u)rth!
Mar. 5th, 2009 09:45 pmToday is the one day of the year that is also a command!
Well, it was a busy day and a nice one. My friend from school (my oldest continuous friend, actually--we've known each other since we were nine, and we're uh...a whole lot older than nine now) is in the area on business, and got to drop in for dinner tonight. It was great catching up on everything she's been doing. For dessert we had chocolate strawberry shortcake, which I can only recommend.
Before that, I got to deal with the termite inspectors. No termites, but apparently a pipe is leaking under the house. Again. The plumbers just came out to replace one pipe--a freshwater one--but this time they think it's a drainage one. Ugh. I'm just glad it's not me who has to climb down there and replace it.
Also, another friend brought over some old German letters from her ever so great grandparents for us to help her decipher. They are very cool! But in that horrible 19th century handwriting. It's extremely neat, almost like a computer font, but in a style where all the letters look the same as all the other ones. Still, it will be fun to figure out what they actually say.
And, I got to finish watching the second Anne of Green Gables (Anne of Avonlea?) with my girls tonight, which was fun. I'm glad I have boys AND girls. It's nice to be able to watch a girl movie with people who don't stick their fingers in their ears and say lalala at the kissing parts.
