August 30: The Rescuers Down Under

Day 112

I worked a long day yesterday. One of my most popular events is a wine tasting class and I hosted one last night. People have fun and it attracts a group of people to the library who don't usually come to programs, but I didn't get out of the library until about 9 PM.

This morning Clint and I enjoyed a cup of coffee on our patio while Zoey ate cherry tomatoes and hunted toads. Fall is definitely on the way. The mornings are cool and it was so nice to relax for a few minutes outside before the day started. Clint was all excited because there were crows in our trees. Clint's favorite bird is the crow, largely because of a man he met in Ireland who mystically referred to himself as the "old black crow." I believe this may be Clint's true ambition in life...to turn into the Old Black Crow man.

My final movie purge of my seven-day streak is a VHS copy of The Rescuers Down Under, which I like better than the original Rescuers movie. This is one of my brother's favorite Disney movies and he once considered Barahoute one of his favorite girl names (Barahoute is the golden eagle). Oh Sammy, I hope you never change.


I have two goals over Labor Day weekend. 1) Organize my purges into boxes and move my yard sale items to the basement and out of our bedroom. 2) Go through all my stuff with a fine tooth comb and purge the heck out of my possessions. It's time to get tough with myself. If I'm not going to read a book again or wear something that's hanging in my closet---its going!
