Good morning GH.  Well, this is a change, Mary is still in bed, Sugar the Weather Dog is still abed, and I didn't get up until about 8:30 AM.  In fact, Mary complained that she was awake all night, instead of sleeping like an army private on leave.  Currently the view out the Weather Window is kind of gray, and the temperature on the desktop is a chilly 31 degrees, a dramatic change from the 60s and 70s we had over the weekend.  Mary and I enjoyed a trip to Pentwater on Sunday, only to discover that the cook's store there was going out of business.  Oh well, you can't expect a twice a year visit to keep them in business.  We were able to stop in some interesting antique shops on the way back, and some interesting small towns, so that was good.  One town even boasted of having an historic district, but it wasn't much of an attraction, even if you consider that they had a "Future Historic"  building on the site.  Hey, when you think about it, any building is a "Future Historic" building, and anything is a "Future Antique" if you wait long enough.  In that way, I am fast approaching being of historic significance myself.  Gosh, a whole new avenue of development opened up.  Yesterday, we went to Holland and bought some "Future Antique" baking and storage pans, some "Future Historic" spices and a lot of things that could be of value in the future.  At this rate, I can see why people collect anything, because they know it will become valuable someday.  I should mention that in the process of doing laundry on Sunday, that I pulled an Adam, when I found all the money that Mary had left in the pocket of her jeans as I pulled them from the dryer.  I "made" a total of $24.00 in the process.  What a country.  Today, more reading, more music, and maybe some raking.  I got the lawnmower and our bicycles into the basement yesterday, and that was enough for the afternoon activities.  Today, is a day for dong nothing, as I want to save my energy for the balance of the week.  I have a meeting tomorrow evening, a tutoring session on Thursday, and a dentist appointment on Friday.  I feel just like /Eleanore again.  So, until I discover more value in the tings around me, it is...Tea time.
