Stephanie and I went to see Amazing Grace today. It's a great movie if you like things that are revolutionary time period, historical, moral, and surprisingly accurate from what I am now reading about it. The story is about William Wilberforce who was the MP in the House of Lords who worked on abolishing slavery. It took him from 1791 until 1807 to get a bill passed that abolished the slave trade. What a lesson in perseverance! Slavery was completely abolished in England one month after he died in 1833. Just think, we took another 20 years to do it here in America...
I also took some time out today to plant some Verbena. Since my back door area is covered with rocks and my front door is surrounded by tree stumps that make it hard to plant things, I've taken to pots. This might be good considering my skills anyway.
