    If you meet a lost Italian navigator, wish them a happy Columbus Day. :) 

    We got almost 3 inches of rain. Big Smile  Muddy mess in the backyard since we've got no grass.  Dogs love it.  Humans, not so much.

    I'm delighted that you've got a muddy mess, Jackie.  Not so much fun, but, thank goodness you finally got some horribly needed rain.

    Bright and pretty here today, still on the chilly side, but temps are supposed to climb all day. 

    DH has to work today and I don't so I'm thinking I'll finish up moving the dead veggie plants to compost and maybe actually finally do some pressing.  Not one of my fav things to do, but, if I can find something mindless on TV it won't be so bad......

    You're so right, I swore I'd never complain about the muddy mess if we could get some rain.  lol

    So glad you got some rain Jackie. We might get some later today too. Our high is only going to be 70, so cooler than it was supposed to be. The rest of the week looks beautiful at this point.

    Today is the last day of my 10 day break. I've really enjoyed it but I'm actually ready to go back to work tomorrow. Hopefully I won't find a ton of work waiting for me.

    If anyone meets a lost Italian, send him to me.  I could use some real Italian cooking!  (and I do mean food)

    Just food? Why waste a perfectly good lost italian man with just food?

    Its a bit overcast here and i miss the blazing sun already! However, today is rest day so i guess its ok to be overcast. The most i plan to do today is the gym, laundry and maybe clean the car since i have all the dog crates out anyway (for my bike). Oh and i need to go shopping. My diet coke stash is empty.

    Has anyone dehydrated apples before? I am on hr 14 and they are still kinda mushy. I dont know how long this is supposed to take or what the final product should look like.

    Woo hoo for Jackie getting rain!  Did you dance in it yet? 

    It's Monday but for some reason I keep thinking it's Sunday.  My days are all messed up.

    <----wants to be a lost Italian now!!!  Wink

    ETA:  Julie....it would likely depend on the thickness of the slices.  I dehydrate all the time but never tried apples (yet).  Let me know how they turn out.

    Johnny - LOL!  You are silly.  Stick out tongue

    Julie, I didn't think it'd be appropriate to imply I only wanted the other.  Remember me - Angel?  ROFL!

    Tina, I got lost for a little while.  I was trying to find a picture of a lost Italian navigator and found myself in a fantasy world filled with rugby players of the Italian type.  They all look like great cooks. Big Smile

    ETA  this is where we're going for our anniversary dinner.  :)  We haven't been there in years and we're really looking forward to it.

    Jackie - when is your anniversary? Our 10 yr is on the 18th. A nice dinner out sounds like a great idea.

    Okay - with modern technology, i.e. doppler radar, don't you think it should be easy to predict rain within the next hour or so? When I watched the morning news, they said we *might* get sprinkles later this afternoon. By 9 AM it was pouring here and doesn't look like it'll stop soon.

    We have 2 squirrels that frequent our bird feeder but rarely at the same time. One is now up in the tree feeding from the feeder and the other one is on the ground grabbing what's dropped. I have a feeling they didn't expect the rain so soon either Stick out tongue

    Jackie, Tina's right -- it looks right and I'll bet the food is incredible.  Altho -- when it's time for dessert can I sneak in and have the strawberries & ice cream drenches in the Grand Marnier & whipped cream??  I'm drooling here!!  (and I'd imagine the pecan pie is to die for, but man I DO so long strawberries, cream and Grand Marnier.  I'm not a drinker but ahhhhh!!)
