ONE MORE FOR THE ROCK COLLECTION

We have a collection of heartshaped rocks. When we're beach combing it's always fun to find one or two of them to add to the collection. You can find these rocks on our front porch, the back patio and sometimes in various places in the house. While not exactly heartshaped, here's the latest one that's being added to our collection.

We were up at 5:00 a.m. this morning to get Candace on the road back to Redding by 6:00. Grace is picked up by 12:30 each afternoon and leaving by 6:00 left her plenty of time to get home. I can't remember the last time that the alarm was set for 5:00 a.m. but I do know that it was in another life.

In contrast to yesterday's weather and certainly the picture above, today is overcast with periods of rain. Now this is the coast I know.

It seemed fitting to make soup in the crockpot for dinner. Cold, overcast, moist outside days makes for great comfort food. Split pea soup is just that.

So tonight along with split pea soup the order of the evening will be Monday Night Foodball, the next episodes of Weeds (on Showtime) and Gene Simmon's reality TV gig on A&E (good for 30 minutes of ear-to-ear grinning). Please don't call because I'm going to be much to busy to answer the phone (unless your name is Candace!).

It's only 2:00 and the dog is already staring me down in hopes that she can have her dinner. Since Jilli was fed early this morning feeding her now would be a good thing. Oh Jilli?
