Enjoy your day at the geneology place, Nira! I'm hoping to get some time this afternoon to straighten up the house a little bit as I'm getting ready in just a little to bit to go spend a chunk of time at the eye doc's. It's a good thing she called to remind me as i would have blown it off completely. I've got to pick up some ingredients for kathy's tomato soup recipe (which is a family favorite around here) as I have had a special request for it for tomorrow. I've got everything except the cream. I'll probably use half and half instead to cut the fat just a little bit.

It is supposed to rain, but I am hoping it holds off for a while longer. I'd like to walk again today.

Nira, I did most of my plants last fall and they look pretty good at the moment. Well, except for the fatsia I have in the living room. It seems to be giving up. Poor thing looks rather desperate with two leaves left!

Well, I'll check back later! Gotta scoot!
