We had another wonderful Sunday morning today. Every sunday, mommy or daddy runs down to the bagel shop to get bagel and egg sandwiches that we eat while reading the sunday New York Times and listen to NPR's Weekend Edition. My sisters lounge at our feet and snooze gently in the warm morning sunshine.
We listen to Will Shortz quiz the NPR listeners as well struggle with the New York Times crossword puzzle. Mommy and daddy are novices at crossword puzzles, so they don't feel any remorse with using a computer and looking up many of the answers. Daddy says he learns a lot from doing it that way. For example, we learned today that "operaseria" is a style of opera that was popular 1720- 1770. We can only get so far before our brains get worn out and we're ready to finally face the day. This usually happens about the time "Prairie Home Companion" comes on the radio, when we are soothed back into a mid-day nap by the dulcet tones of Garrison Keillor and his philisophical poetry of midwestern life.
The NY Sunday Crossword sits unfinished. Any suggestions for a 6 letter way of describing the "British Mail"? (HM Post?)

What a lovely way to spend a Sunday morning- you are doing all of Ada's favorite things...the NYT's, and listening to to NPR. "Prairie Home Companion" is my favorite show and I think Garrison Keillor is talking about your family when he says "...where all the women are strong, all the men are good looking and the all children are above average." You are certainly above average in every way- Ada noticed from your wonderful picture with your sister Skye that you are already holding up your head!
Regarding the 6 letter word to describe the British mail- at one point the British mail was referred to as Empire (specifically British air mail).
Have fun with Gran!
