Rainy Sunday

Rainy, cool day—it rained off and on all day—Ms Emmi was not pleased that she had to go outside in the rain, maybe she thought she would melt??? 

We took periodic walks throughout the day when the rain would let up a little, the rest of the time we were cozy in the rig with the heater going!  Yep, we are in Florida with the heater going, what’s up with that???

I bet all of you cooks out there have a drawer, notebook, or space of some sort filled with recipes you scratched onto a scrap of paper, tore from a magazine.  Me, I had this:A notebook bursting at the seams, literally!  Filled with magazine recipes, entire magazines (must have liked every recipe in that one), recipes I’ve tried and recipes I looked at today and wondered why in the world I thought Michael would ever eat that???  Each year when we head south I gather all these pieces of paper and think, “this is the year, I’m going to get all these recipes scanned into the computer and organized.”  And each year I bring the same mess back home in the spring.  Well, the tide turned today and the rainy weather gave me a good excuse—all my recipes are scanned into my computer and printed—what a great feeling!  Now, if I can just not collect any more! 

We received an exciting telephone call today, our granddaughter Laci, stationed in Italy with the USAF called to tell us she and Kevin (also in the USAF) are engaged.  She posted a photo of the ring on Facebook—beautiful!  Congratulations Laci and Kevin, we wish you all the best.

Last night when we were all sitting at the Tiki Bar, a woman came out of the bar, wandered over to our table, looked at Michael and said, “I love your hat!”  Women are always telling him they love his hat—his wife loves his hat, too! 

A productive Sunday.
