Rain, Rain, lovely slow, steady, lovely rain! Most all night and then again this morning. Stopped sometimes early afternoon. We certainly needed it! Just the right kind, also. Not one of those flash, boom, here and gone, but a gentle soaking rain! Thank you, Lord!

Fingers are still sore but much better -- Sweetie made me put a thumb cage on yesterday evening -- wore it until after church today. It protected my thumb -- I had been hitting it and not only did it hurt but it would start bleeding again.

Was posting receipts and check today -- cleaned out my purse and WOW -- found a Barnes and Nobels gift card that was a Christmas gift! Remember, my Mom broke her hip two days after Christmas so that wiped out any memory I might have had of receiving it and we had totally forgotten we had it. It is for a considerable amount so we will go and shop and be happy! Love books!!
