Bowling, Rain, As We Know It,

I had a lousy day bowling. Don't know what was wrong with me, a few aches and pains, but that is par for the course these days. I didn't throw one strike all day. Matt had two very good games though. Not only that, the owner wouldn't give me my money back LOL Funny really, a kid had been bowling using a ramp so when he and grandpa had gone I had a go at using the ramp. First and only try I got 11 points. Then went and started my real game and got 2. Matt, on the other hand, couldn't go wrong.

It has been raining all day so of course the balcony workmen haven't been around much at all. We haven't had a lot of rain for a while so it is good for the ground - the grass and trees at least, although out back we don't have too much grass any more. Thank goodness we have the park to look at.

I have finished proofing my Carrie Butler's book,As We Know It. What an excellent story. A really good disaster book as well as a delightful love story with a great twist at the end. When it is released in December, I can thoroughly recommend it.

This is full of Kraft products, of course, but it looked really edible to me!! Simple enough to make too.
