R3 - Rain - Or What Is That Falling From the Sky?

When Don picked me up this afternoon from the hospital, he said, " I see something
falling from the sky. I don't know what it is. It feels sort of wet."
Very funny, Don. I don't think it has been THAT long since you've seen rain! That is what rain looks like, isn't it?

We did get a pretty good soaking. I don't think things are going to turn green, though. Foilage is very colorful and falling, falling, falling. After the rain the temperature seemed to be falling, falling, falling also. I actually found the winter robe to put on this evening and I'm wearing socks with my slippers. That is a sure sign that the seasons are changing - much more predictable and dependable than the leaves.


This AM we had a treat. When Taylor is through with school for the day, he sometimes comes to find Grandma and Grandpa because we are an easy touch where lunch is concerned. Also Grandpa had earlier taken Taylor an extra set of truck keys, because he had locked his in his truck in the school parking lot. Obviously, school just starts too early in the morning for this boy. No keys ---- no breakfast--no fun.

We three went to Frisch's for lunch. Well, Don and I had lunch. Frisch's makes THE BEST vegetable soup ever. It was unusually thick and chocked full of veggies today.
mmmmm- it hit the spot. Taylor opted for the breakfast bar since he had skipped that meal altogether earlier in the day. He barely stopped to breathe until he had cleaned the first plateful. He topped that off with the best looking French toast.
Then he was off to work off the calories at his job on the farm.

I went to work at the information desk at the hospital in the afternoon. Elaine and I were both working, so we were able to catch up on all the news and weekend happenings. Mark, her son the policeman, has gone back to work as a drug prevention officer with the public schools. They have allowed him to write his own program since the schools are no longer affiliated with the DARE program. Mark was a great officer/counselor/teacher with the DARE program for several years before the program was discontinued. I know he will do a super job, even better with his own program.
And the schools really need his presence. I wish him all the best.

Don went out for Sex in the City. Hmm---maybe I had better rephrase that. He went to the casino and played the slot machine called, "Sex in the City." Yes, it features Carrie and all the girls on the TV show, and Mr. Big, too. It is fun to play, and has very interesting bonuses. It either gives you lots of bonuses and very nice prizes, or takes your money away very quickly. Don reports that the Sex was very good today. Hmmm - maybe I had better rephrase that!
