sunday morning mish-mash

 

 

 

It's a very kicked-back Sunday at our house today. Listening to music, coffee, conversation...

It's a beautiful deep autumn morning w/blue skies, sunshine, low/coolish temps. Jeff, as per usual was up way before me. When Anna Chan and I sauntered into the writing room together, me carrying a demitasse of French roast while Anna made a beeline straight to my club chair, jumping up onto the large, cushiony back pillow rest then deeply burrowing in, curled up, assuming her napping position, Jeff was already multi-tasking at his desk. This week he's been revisiting 2 of his fav books; The Works of Julius Caesar, The 12 Caesars, while watching Rome on his portable DVD player. Jeff's in the process of researching Claudius' invasion of Britton in 43 AD.

I, on the other hand, am not multi-tasking-- I'm doing one thing at a time. Sipping coffee, putting coffee cup down, scrolling through facebook postings, then clicking on to Jane Austin Unbound; a hidden objects online game (I have to say, I am not a games girl. However, I read, a few years back where online video games, et al, are really beneficial to our brains as they create new neuro pathways. This fascinates me as I've arrived at a place in my life, where memory would actually be a good thing. It began w/ going to look for something, waiting a moment to remember what it was, then locating it. This has evolved in to me looking for something, walking into another room to locate it, or better yet, while on my way to locate an item, I forget what it is or where it's at... waiting a moment doesn't help. Now, I have to keep on walking and hope it comes to me. Sometimes it does, and sometimes it just doesn't happen).

We've had breakfast. I love Sunday breakfasts. This morning bacon/scrambled eggs were on tap. Jeff has already started his laundry and is now in the process of digging up 2 of our crepe myrtles that never really took off along with a vine and several pryrcanthas Our summer heat is intense and although plants are recommended for our area, they do much better in the backyard than in the front yard where there is no shade in front of our house in our walkway to protect them at intervals throughout the day.

Another thing I love about Sunday's at our house, any day really, but, especially, Sunday morning is music. Today's top pick is Mississippi blues... thought I would share one of my fav bluesman, Michael Grimm, with you-- love his voice.

                            Enjoy your Sunday, whatever you're doing... have fun!
