Sunday Afternoon

So today after church I decided to go out to the pool and finish Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, which I did and can't wait to start book #2, but Garrett said he wanted to stay in the house because Gus isn't allowed in the pool area... Well just look and see what took place...



Gus is a great little swimmer and Garrett is so proud of him. Truly its like a son. At times I am worried we have become those weird people who "really love their dog." If you would agree, please help us... How do you overcome the weird dog-owner status? I really don't want to be that woman who incessantly talks about her dog.

On another note, I am loving Harry Potter. I made the mistake of watching the first movie the other day with my brother and sister, and I am very sad I did so. I kept seeing the story as the movie depicts it and I hate that. Luckily, I don't remember much of what happened in the other films. I watched them long ago, and I am not the person who remembers a movie scene for scene... I have been doing some Harry research, with all my free time, and I am wondering why J.K. Rowling calls the Sorcerer's Stone a Philosopher's Stone.... It is an English thing? Also, Nicholas Flamel is a real guy. He, according to legend, did manufacture and Philosopher's Stone, whatever that is, and he was also mentioned in Dan Brown's DaVinci Code. Who knew?

  1. Yeah, I gave in last summer and watched all the movies. I was going to wait until the last one came out, but I was just stuck in that tiny studio with no TV, so I just did it.

    Reading about you reading Harry makes me want to read them again. I'll have to find them! Then we can talk about Quiddich and Voldemort like the dorks we are.
