We finally got maybe one hundreth of an inch of rain last night.
We were hoping for more since I have a bucketful of Wisteria
roots to put out. The ground is so dry. It has been funny to see the grim determination with which Mike has
displayed over the Wisteria. He was determined to get it
out and has leveled the spot where it was and planted grass.
Oh to be thirty again!

I have been having an old movie fest. Last night I watched
The long hot summer and it was so good that I may watch it
again. Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward were at their best
with a good supporting cast and a great story by William
Faulkner. I may watch The Last Picture Show tonight.

The ornaments are put away but I need to get the tree down.
I need to get some lights if they still have them in the stores. Amazing how one cannot wait to get the decorations
up and then the day after Christmas we want them down.

Laura turned us on to DIY network and Ted has directions
for making a cornice board. We miscomunicate about
some things to a laughable degree. The worst we ever did
was on firewood boxes.

Have a happy and safe New Year's Eve. We will be cozy and
at home with a glass of wine. We might even make a fire.
We will drink a toast to the new year.
