It's my youngest daughter's 20th birthday today, and it's so hard to believe. She's not at her apartment right now, and she's supposed to be getting a package, and some flowers, so I guess that they'll have to wait for her in the front office. DRAT!

I was supposed to go visit my lifelong friend this afternoon (we've known each other since we were 3-1/2 years old), but it was postponed until tomorrow. Her first grandchild (19 months old) is visiting from New Mexico until Monday, and I missed seeing her the last time they visited. (I'm taking her a simple little doll I made.)

It rained all yesterday, and just poured again about a half an hour ago, but the sun looks like it's trying to come out, without success so far.

My oldest daughter (the one in North Carolina) called to say that she had finally made my salmon recipe last night, with great success. This morning, they're without power because of wind. Since there's not much to do at home, she's going to go catch up with her boyfriend (who works today at a museum), and then catch up with some office friends later. Loren (the boyfriend) was a drama major, and has hooked up with a community theater group down there in Raleigh. They were celebrating last night because he was just cast in one of the starring roles (Axel Magee) in "Don't Drink the Water" (by Woody Allen) that will be performed later this spring. He's actually been doing very well with his acting, and just recently co-directed "Othello" with another theater group. We're all rather proud of him because it can't be easy to find work as an actor!

I've only had my morning coffee, and nothing else yet today, so I think I'll go grab a snack. I see the sun is trying again too...!!!
