Yes, that’s what this week is doing–slipping into history.  It went by so fast, probably because I was so busy with a couple of projects.

This morning we said goodbye to Shark.  Her plans had slipped and she found it convenient to spend another overnight with us.  She said that she would be, “latish.”

We were setting the table for supper when she arrived.  (She had called ahead.)  After the meal and clean-up we sat in the family room and talked well into the night.

This captures the feel of night

Since our friend left for her home, I’ve spent most of my day reading The Fellowship of the Ring.  I love the books much better than the movies.  That is especially true for the volume, The Hobbit.  In print that volume is fairly thin.  The tale is fairly simple, but it sets the stage for the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

I may turn on the TV before going to bed this evening.  Or I may not.  It’s very easy to get caught up in the story.
