I love Sunday mornings. This time of year, I get to have quiet, slow Sundays. I get up by 7:30 AM, put a measured cup of milk on to heat, grab the Sunday ProJo (Providence Journal, for those of you not in the know), make myself some great latte and crawl back into bed. I love the Sunday paper. I know most of it is fiction, but I read it with pleasure. I start with the Business pages. Such story telling should and probably is amply rewarded. I can read of politicians in jail for accepting bribes from huge businesses. I can learn of how well we are going to be doing any second now. I wonder why the business writers never say something like; Haliburton is doing very well. The company bilked the nation (that’s us, folks) of millions more. Oh and jobs…..remember those??

I also read the commentary. Many people are upset because Hillary showed some emotion. Many people are making the primaries a contest between race or gender. Another diversion. God help us if Mitt Romney gets in. He made his millions working for a company that cut jobs, skimmed off the top…let’s face, he’s a smarmy, greedy, job cutting opportunist. Good for him. Bad for the working stiff. Bad for the economy.

I also read the comics. We save the comic pages. That becomes our gift wrapping paper.

We gave a wood burning stove away today. I figure that if I haven’t been able to talk my landlord into letting me install it in 5 years, it isn’t going to happen.

We shot a few pictures of a beautiful hand made babies star quilt. It’s a gently used one, barely used, really That will be up on the site this week.

Right now, my day is winding down. The thermostat is on 54. My room is nice and toasty. Tomorrow will be another working day.

Stop by, see how it’s going.
