Naval Gazing

Following the progress of my woman in a garden is a bit like naval gazing. Or browsing around the Internet. Karen pointed out the lovely tribute to John Lennon on the Goggle home page. Which led me to other song clips and the blog on the Washington Post. Which led to, which led to... It's unending. I'm so happy that I don't work so I can follow these loose threads for hours.

What I was working toward was sewing more loose threads on my needlepoint. If you have been gazing at my update pictures of the ladies shawl I've been creating, you will notice that the bottom flower is missing. It was misplaced. Later in the day I was removing some brown on the left side that I had goofed on. I'm surprised it looks so pretty despite all that ripping out. It looks like a picture window on the right side, but that's just how I've been doing it. Some day you will see she's out in her garden.

I finished Freedom. I'm pretty sure I listened to every word. Sometimes two or three times. This will sound silly, but I think I liked it. It's not really my genre, family turmoil. Non-fiction and mysteries seem to be more my cup of tea. How can you deal with all this angst when you know someone is not going to be murdered and their case solved by a favorite detective? For a long time I wanted the murdered someone to be Patty Berglund. But she eventually grows up. What a trek it was for everyone to just grow up. Still won't recommend it, unless you like this sort of thing - emotionally immature people making their way through a very complex world. Heck, I live that stuff, why would I want to read about it?
