A fun weekend

This was a fun weekend. Ray came up from Virginia Beach and last evening Sam came home from Downingtown to do his wash. Sam was in a mood for something sweet to eat, and my cupboards were absolutely devoid of any such thing, so late last evening found me making brownies from scratch. Ummm - the smell of baking chocolate. They're already all gone and I didn't even get a picture. Today I put peanut butter on top of a brownie, microwaved it a little bit, then topped it with vanilla ice cream, banana slices, and chocolate syrup. Very bad, I know, but oh, so delicious. Now I must go back to being good again.

We have had much cooler weather, with downright COLD nights this weekend. Ray has become a wuss since living in the "south", and just hates being cold. Here's how I found him this afternoon.


I took this picture of him drinking coffee before he left - just for you, Thyda, so you can look right into his eyes!


Dick and Destiny were playing Connect Four. Ray was teaching her some strategies.


Last week I went to Salvation Army to look for some winter clothes for her. I love the challenge of finding just the right sizes and stuff to match each other. Here she is in a pair of pants that are size 7 slim. They are off-white with purple and lavender embroidery several different places. I was tickled to find this lavender shirt to match.

Now she's back home and it's time to focus on my school week again.
