"I've wondered before what it would be like if Elizabeth turned out to be a genius."

Friday, Nov. 22, 1991

     Yesterday Shirley kept Elizabeth while we went to the movies. We went to see Little Man Tate. It was pretty good. I've wondered before what it would be like if Elizabeth turned out to be a genius. Hopefully she'd have friends; the little boy in the movie didn't.

     Ez. did just fine with Shirley. She ate a good lunch and fell asleep on Shirley's shoulder while she was talking with her sister, who came by for lunch.

     We looked around the mall some and each had a cookie after the movie. There was a store there called Colbyeo Woodcrafts. They had lots of bunnies painted on things. I fell in love with the toy boxes. They were very lightly stained blue and different ones had bunnies & teddies & combinations of them with roses on the borders. They were adorable. The one I liked most was also a bench and there were heart shapes cut into the back & end slats. I wanted it so bad but as Guy pointed out, there's no way we could get it back to VA. Plus, it cost $150.00! Sure makes me wish I was rich. Maybe I could find something like that in VA later. Barb was telling me about the new Crafter's Mall that opened at the far end of Baxter Rd. from us. She said it's like a permanent craft show where all different kinds of craftspeople have their own individual booths. She said she spent 2 hrs. going thru the whole thing. Sounds neat.

     Kenny & Lori came over for supper last night and visited for an hour or so. Mary Lee wasn't with them. Elizabeth did really good with everyone, even though she didn't get her early evening nap.

     We'd sent a copy of the video tape to Randy but they don't have a VCR. We put it in the camera to see how it looked & it played it at a different speed - fast - so we won't be able to hook the camera up to their TV.
