Judy left around 2 PM and I read my book for quite awhile before making a small pizza for dinner…Michael had a ham & pickle sandwich (other people call it ham salad) that I had made that afternoon for dinner .  

He wanted to watch MIDNIGHT COWBOY (for me a thoroughly depressing movie, but for him, a classic), so I headed to the studio and got another quilt loaded up on Xena:  

When I came upstairs, Michael asked me where the dog was because she hadn't been bothering him....turns out she had knocked down the back pillow of my chair and was perfectly content on her 'princess and the ped' bed:
