downpour

Ahhh...rain. Heavy rain that will force us to stay indoors today. But there is plenty to do inside. This past week was beautiful and we had the windows open everyday. From the screen porch, living room and Pat's office the smell of lilacs was heavenly. And from our bedroom window the breezes carried in the subtle fragances of the roses. And lots of pollen. Must dust today.

Mom and Dad gave us some shelving for our garage, so that is another project we can tackle. Filling and organizing the shelves. We have almost lived here a year and we still have stuff in boxes on the garage floor. Not much - but it will be nice to get it onto shelves. Thanks, Mom and Dad!

After posting yesterday about Twitter, I laughed out loud when we received our weekly newspaper from up north. Joe Heller, a cartoonist for the Green Bay Press Gazette, captured exactly what I was thinking about Twitter.

The scene is an internet cafe. A young couple is at one table; an older couple at the next. The younger gal is texting, the younger man is typing away at his (Mac) laptop.

"I've got a blog, videos on youtube, a facebook and myspace page and with twitter I continually update everyone on what I'm doing!" says the young man.

"So, what are you doing?" asks the older lady.

"I just told you...." replies the young man.

Hope you have a great weekend and find time to step away from the computer, the cell phone, the television.....
