Date: Saturday, December 12, 2020
Weather: Overcast, Misty, and Rainy: High 56, Low 50 Degrees
Location: At Home in The Cottage, Falmouth, MA
It rained all day. The rain was light in the morning, heavier in the afternoon, and back to a little lighter in the evening . . . it was a completely wet day. Ollie and I made granola, I canned chicken broth and made my mainstay veggie soup, and we did laundry. I don’t have a washer or a dryer other than my bathtub and an outside clothesline, but since Shirley has offered to let Heather work next door in her house, today we ‘borrowed’ her laundry facilities.
In between all of cooking and laundry chores, we found time to get my Christmas tree decorated and we watched two movies. In the late afternoon we watched ‘Claus’. It is an animated Christmas comedy telling a version of how Santa came into being and we all really enjoyed it. Then tonight the boys talked us into watching another animated film, ‘Spies in Disguise’. It is a James Bond spoof starring Will Smith. In the beginning I thought it was going to be too violent for me. But the character of Walter saved the film. He is a techie nerd that finds non-violent ways of fighting the enemy. Again, we all really enjoyed it. With the combination of a rainy day plus the family separated and the boys all missing each other, a little entertainment was most welcome today.
