It was a dark and stormy ...


It's supposed to be cooler and (hopefully) dark and stormy today. It has rained off and on this morning. Love it love it love it.


I finished THE LOST SYMBOL by Dan Brown last night. Overall I enjoyed it. People love to bash this author but he is no better nor no worse than a vast majority of writers out there. He is not professing to be Shakespeare, he's just telling an entertaining thriller-type story. And it delivers. The end discusses "new age" philosophies that may turn some people off but others will nod their heads and find things they've known for some time.


Though I finished this book, I hope to dedicate this day to reading. I have so very much to read it's ridiculous.


This is the kind of day -- if it continues into the evening and I hope it does -- that soup and grilled cheese sandwiches would be good to have for dinner.


Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet. ~Roger Miller


The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain. ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


The best kind of rain, of course, is a cozy rain. This is the kind the anonymous medieval poet makes me remember, the rain that falls on a day when you'd just as soon stay in bed a little longer, write letters or read a good book by the fire, take early tea with hot scones and jam and look out the streaked window with complacency. ~Susan Allen Toth, England For All Seasons

Much love,
