I missed writing yesterday. Toward evening I tried to finish re-reading Patricia Briggs' book, because her new book just arrived in the mail. Anyway, I didn't get it done, and I was still just getting to bed when Brittany got back from Fullerton at 12:15 p.m. This morning I did finish reading it, and now I can start on the new one maybe tomorrow. We met Karen for a picnic lunch at the beach about noon, and the sun was shining, but there was a cool wind. We walked about a block and then back to the car, where we met her. We were parked in the first row, next to the beach, so we had our lunch in the car. On the way home we stopped at a grocery and bought frozen dinners and some other things. when we walked out of the store, it was raining hard! It came up very suddenly, from clouds that were hovering when we went in. At home we rested, and watched the news, and then we had dinner. Brittany joined us, eating her meat-free food. After dinner we skyped with Kaye; it's so much fun to do this new thing, that we spent more time than we meant to. I'm tired tonight, so I'll stop and get ready for bed.
