I could either sit in silence and wait, or get up and do what needs doing. Washed dishes -some by hand and some in the machine with "warshing powders". Loaded some clothes and added "warshing powders." Always makes me smile. Warshing powders.
A cup of tea sits on the counter cooling its heels. Went with Tazo cinnamon chalet. Mostly for the scent. Always makes me smile. Cinnamon smell. Bet you thought it would be oranges. Not about me.
Turned on the NCAA final four. OU v. Villanova. Sworn to never root for OU. Villanova's nickname is Nova. I like that show. Nova. Comes on PBS. A big fan of PBS our Aunt Val. Especially Downtown Abbey. Also a fan of old time westerns. Reminds me of her and Uncle Don on early Saturday mornings. Always makes me smile. In the old westerns the good folks win.
Driving home from St. Paul on Wednesday night I turned on the radio. Pressed the "2" button for Aunt Val's classical music, but a spiritual spilled out: "Hush, somebody is calling my name...ain't gonna die just gonna steal away...I gotta feeling everything gonna be all right...Lord what will I do?" Reminded me it really will all work out in the warsh.
I read somewhere that favorite musical memories last longer than other types of memories. If so, I hope Claire de lune by Debussey is what her brain has cued up as she moves further down her path. She would like that. Especially since neither the Hawks nor Badgers made it to the final four. Looks like Nova won.
Cue the smile.
