We are getting the rain today. It is coming down in big slanted sheets.

It has been a gloriously lazy day. Some of our friends who live overseas came and played this morning while they are here in the states. It was a blast. We had grilled cheese sandwiches Anna Style-that means loaded up with sauteed onions, peppers, tomatoes and cheese and potato chips.

We've been playing movies all day long. A real treat around here.

All the lamps and candles have been lit today. It is dark outside and has been most of the day.

The chocolate chip cookies are baking in the oven. Two of the three kids are still sleeping. Tonight we get to go to commutity group which is always a blast.

This kind of dreary day reminds me that I have a tea-pot that whistles on my list of things I want for the fall. Afternoons like this need some good tea.
