Old Age Day by Day January 4, 2012

My foster granddaughter and I went to a movie yesterday afternoon.  She's so happy these days it's contagious.  We really have fun together.  She has graduated to "people" movies, instead of just animated ones.  She likes "Nim's Island", "Nanny McFee", "Ever After", "Ramona and Beesus", and "Enchanted".  We saw "We Bought a Zoo", and she said it was the best movie ever.  There was a little girl in it her age, and she seemed fascinated by the animals and the idea of living at a zoo.  We rushed home afterwards and her mom was waiting.  It was the one time she was early picking her up.  Oh, dear.

Today I'm having tea with a friend, then maybe my husband and I will do a few errands.  His cold is finally getting better and he can go periods without coughing.  He's sleeping better, too, so, so am I.

The headlines in both papers today are about the lack of rainfall.  Right now, I'm just glad it wasn't rainy over the holidays and either there is too much or too little rain, or snow, or something is wrong.  There is no normal year as far as I can remember.  We're always being whipped into hysteria, but I refuse to go down that road.  Let's see what spring brings.  Of course, I can be cavalier, since I'm no skier.  And without a ton of snow on the roof of our cabin, all we have to worry about is a tree coming down on top of it.  I don't have the best interests of the state at heart.
