Me I hate silence in the house it makes me melancholy for some reason.
95% of the time I have the tv on if it's daytime I turn tbs on for the back to back shows of Bones and Castle I've seen them all it's just comforting to hear the voices. Or A & E For criminal minds . Unless there is a padre game on then that is on. I don't quilt to football I get to wound up and make to many mistakes so I put my sewing away and just watch.
If I'm feeling nostalgic I listen to old county music Waylon Jennings, Dolly, Merle, Kenny, Loretta Lynn, Glen Campbell, Patsy Cline Johnny Cash (still an all time favorite of mine) wow i got started and the names just kept pouring out, I could keep going. That is what was always on in Moms work room where I learned to sew and spent hours upon hours helping with her business and making cloths for my barbies from old samples.
