Monday again


This Monday has been, if anything, busier than usual. I did get to swimming and coffee, then came home to start the wash. We took Allan to catch the van shuttle to the Nashville airport about noon. He has called and is back home - even though the plane was two hours late leaving Nashville.

We went to play bridge, and found it had been called off because the facility was being painted. This was decided by the director at the Civic Center where we play. We were a bit miffed that nobody had called us, and even the lady at the front desk didn't know it has been cancelled. But we survived, came home, and got in some much-needed naptime.

We had an early snack-dinner and went to the ballgame. The Lady Mocs easily handled Wofford - 85-63. We also picked up our tickets for the Southern Conference Tournament in Charleston 6-11 February.

I still had stuff to make for a farewell tea that we're having tomorrow for one of our swimmers who is moving at the end of the month. I'm making some exceptionally easy mini-cheesecakes. (Recipe on request) YUM! At least I don't have to get up early in the morning.

Bev touted me on a new blog, Life on a Small Island . It's written by a woman who is renovating an old house on a tiny island in the Orkneys in Scotland. It's a gorgeous area. We loved our time there. Today's photo is of the Isle of Hoy, in the Orkneys.

Sian took us to Hoy when we visited her. You can easily see Graemsay from Hoy. So glad you are enjoying her blog.

Bev, what a great treat! I hope we get to back to the Orkneys today. That was my favorite part of the trip - I do love the standing stones and other prehistoric structures.
