Birthday Visit

Today was Lauri's birthday. Lynda and I drove over to Memphis yesterday to have an early birthday supper with her and Jeff. I had asked Lauri earlier what she wanted me to fix for her birthday, so I cooked Steak Parmesan, and a flan. I also fixed a lemon congealed salad that is one of her favorites (she didn't know I was fixing that). I asked if she would make some mashed potatoes and we rounded things out with asparagus and some bread I had baked the day before. Over all, it was a good meal and a very good visit.

Some Rain

We had a pretty good shower this afternoon. I'm not sure how much rain fell, but it was welcomed. We had no rain in June, a little in July, and there was none in August until today. I had the water on in one of the flower beds, but I didn't turn it off until it stopped raining. So maybe the roses got their fill this time.
