Long weekend

Guy and I had a productive but long weekend. Guy's mother is in the process of remodeling her kitchen. We drove down to the Delta Saturday to visit and see the progress. Her kitchen makes me completely jealous. While there, we snagged Louise's old dishwasher. As soon as we can get a plumber, electrician, and handyman to the house, we'll be washing in style (no more dishpan hands for me!). We returned to the house after driving through the most beautiful rainstorm. The rainstorm was one of teh most beautiful ever seen since it has been about six weeks since we last had rain. The storm even made today's temperature completely bearable. Mabry got to play outside. I spent most of today doing typical weekend chores--paying bills, baking muffins for the week, ironing, laundry, and grading the dreaded papers. It only took four hours to grade seventy essays. Not too bad! Hopefully, the essays will get better as the year progresses and not take as much time. Anyway, until later!
