Today we took it easy....breakfast (gluten-free pancakes - yum!). Gladys and I went to the library for a fun crafty program using recycled materials. She made this lovely shadow-box full of Valentine-themed things and boy she has a great eye...it is really quite lovely the way she uses color and layers. I loaded up on new music CDs and a couple of DVDs. I had this nice random interaction with another patron while browsing the DVDs. I glanced at "Hidalgo," and this older white guy says, "gotta love that Viggo Mortenson." I was like - wow, he read my mind. Can other people tell when you are a Viggo freak? Is it the way I longingly looked at the DVD box? So we chatted about his movies, and how good he is, and how violent his movies are. I told him he has a new one out in the theaters about the Nazis. Very nice to connect with a fellow fan. No matter how many years I work in them or how many I visit, it always feels like Christmas in July when I go to a library.
Came home, and I dared to return to the kitchen to cook! Yeah!! I made garlicy mashed potatos with the skins on, cranberry sauce, and Fede made the sage roasted chicken I taught him ions ago. The house smells DIVINE. Too bad blogs aren't scratch n sniff.
They are off to walk and play with Debbie's dog.

count me amongst the ranks of Viggo fans, too. We watched the LOTR saga earlier this week because Jack was home sick (I know it's overwhelming for a 7 year old; that's why we watch it with him). When I watched Hidalgo it was on DVD checked out from the library. When I read King's (Stephen, not ML) Dark Tower series, I saw Viggo as Roland Deschain.
ReplyDeleteSo, yeah.
