Rain, rain and more rain

We have been have torential rains. Not the flooding of Georgia, but a good inch or more each day for the last few days. The lawn is mushy and in no condition to be mowed other than the grass is so high. This morning I'll be spending time in my front garden bed, weeding and trimming. I've a hibiscus that's growing over my driveway, causing me to hit it when I pull into the garage. I'm actually glad the lawn can't be mowed, because Hubby will spend the time in the gardens with me instead of us working in different parts of the yard. Our weeks are jammed packed and I feel like I never see him anymore. He obviously felt the same, as he called me yesterday afternoon, asking me to go out with him last night. With the rains, a walk along Bayshore was out, so we hit the mall (forgetting that it's teenage hangout on Friday nights). We managed a brisk lap around the mall and then headed to Walmart for a new toaster oven as ours died this week. Doesn't sound overly romantic, but I don't need romance, just time together. Of course the best part was getting a good back massage when we got home.

I got a call from my niece yesterday afternoon. I felt really special that she called me just to share some good news. I can't believe she's already a junior in college. She's got so much going for her...poise, beauty (inner and outer), common sense (usually), and a great heart. It hard not to still see her as a little 10 year old. I'm glad I'll get to see her over Thanksgiving weekend.

The Singer is coming by today to get help with her computer programming class and to discuss her plans for a new major. The Imp is off to the movies and shopping with a girlfriend. They love to go and try on clothes. She'll buy nothing but loves trying them on anyway.
