Today is Friday. The Hawaiian print tablecloth is quilted, waiting for the finished edges. I bought the binding fabric for the batik quilt. I had lunch with a couple of friends on Tuesday. Randy and I went to see "Love & Friendship," based on a Jane Austen story. The heroine, Lady Susan, was no Elizabeth Bennett! Yesterday I bought a new cell phone. My old TracFone is 2G, and by the end of the year AT&T will have upgraded their service in this area so my phone will no longer work. I bought another simple phone and transferred my phone number and remaining minutes from the old phone to the new one. Last night as I worked on my new phone Randy watched "The Water Diviner," with Russell Crowe. He was recording the Warriors' game 6 in the NBA Finals, but when we hadn't heard any fireworks from Oracle Arena by 9 we figured they had lost. We may yet watch the game, though. This morning I have done laundry and vacuumed; this afternoon I plan to sew.
I am reading Fourteen, by Stephen Zanichkowsky, one of fourteen children. Subtitled "growing up alone in a crowd" this memoir is hard to read. There was so much unhappiness in this family, lots of physical punishment, no affection shown by the parents to the children or by the children to each other, just over whelming fear. I can't read too many pages at one sitting.
Tomorrow we will go to the A's game with some friends.
