SLEEPLESS IN LAKELAND
I finally slept a few hours this morning after 6 a.m. I have a sleepless night about once a week but this week there have been 2 already and the week isn't over yet. Sleeping this morning means that I missed my usual Thursday morning activities at church and another group that I attend. That really messes up my week.
The day wasn't a total loss because my friend Marty dropped by around 4:30 p.m. and I made dinner for us. I have been hungry for black beans and yellow rice with sliced tomatoes. Since I was fixing it for company I also made hamburger steaks. It was a splendid repast. We had peach mango sherbet for desert which was the perfect ending to our delicious meal. Shortly after dinner our friend Denise and two of her daughters showed up for a visit. They were on their way to walk Lake Hollingsworth but got rained out so we got to catch up with each other for an hour. It made my day.
One useful thing that I did today was to petition my senators and representatives to stop the government from withdrawing financial support from the PBS and NPR stations. As a fan of both I am appauled that they could lose government funding. I invited several of my friends to participate with me in trying to keep this from happening. I don't have much faith in the present administration in Washington to do anything that is good for the common man but we can still hope and do what we can.
Speaking of PBS and NPR, tomorrow the movie, A Prairie Home Companion, opens in theaters. I hope to be one of the first to see it since I have been a fan of Garrison Keillor for about 30 years. His satire on old time radio on Saturday nights on NPR has always been a delight to me and my family so I look forward to the movie. I think it has earned 4 stars. I have been to two of his shows and they have been absolutely delightful.
I hope to settle in shortly with my current reading and expect that sleep will come soon--at least that is my wish. God bless us all with sleep that refreshes.
