Whoa! I have been a shopping whirlwind today! First I shopped with our daughter for boots and a sewing machine for her birthday, then we hit Target and Bev Mo, then we unloaded at home, and my husband and I went to Trader Joe's and the pet food store. My mind is wired from my separate lists: birthday, holiday party, Christmas gifts, dinners, finishing cards, stocking stuffers etc. It will all get sorted, as it does every year.
Our daughter took pictures of us and the dogs for our holiday cards. I'm getting closer and closer to the cards being ready to mail out. On Monday we're getting the tree, which will set off another flurry of activity. I love it!
Last night we watched "Red Dust", an excellent BBC film about the truth and reconciliation commission in South Africa in 2000. Chitel Edjefor and Hilary Swank star in it. We thought it appropriate after Nelson Mandela's death. The movie is powerful, beautifully acted and educational. It asks powerful questions about forgiveness and history.
