The house is quiet
Our family left yesterday afternoon, and I then rode my bike several miles and washed the kitchen floor. I always feel a bit lonely when they leave, but its partly pure tiredness. Pre-schoolers have so much energy, and the schoolers haven’t much less.
Back to normal, I’m still reading Billy Sunday’s bio, and didn’t realize that he was so involved with prohabition. Our land has gone through a lot of strange rules, hasn’t it.
Also still in Team of Rivals, and didn’t realize that those riots in New York between the Irish and whoever were during Lincoln’s time. I should have though, as i knew the problem was “being drafted” for the Civil War. There was a very bloody movie about this a few years ago, but I can’t remember the name of it.
Our middle daughter and hubby read the D Code and saw the movie, and said they liked them both as a very exciting mystery. I started the book when it first came out and didn’t care for it, so I never finished it. Since its gotten so much publicity I should maybe try again, but probably won’t. I do prefer fact to fiction, but enjoy a good story too.
