So, Where's the rain?

The weather "people" warned us that we were about to get drenched with 5 consecutive storms. That was Friday. Today is Sunday, and so far - no rain. The rain Gods must be waiting for Monday, when everyone is driving to work.

I spent yesterday taking down the Christmas decorations - all but the tree. I just can't do it yet. Not to worry, we got past the romance of picking out a "real" tree several years ago when we were living in Texas. My house kind of looks schizophrenic - the living room still looks a bit like Christmas and my dining room is full blown Spring.

Today is my last day to get the house ready for our celebrity guest on Monday. A local natural chef and nutrition educator, Patty James, from Sebastopol is starting a year long journey around the United States interviewing children. Why, you may ask? Patty has created a non-profit organization called, Shine the Light on Kids. org, and she is interviewing children of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds, asking them about health and nutrition. I invite you to check out the website and donate to a wonderful cause.

Long story short, I sent Patty an email, asking her about her cooking school. We've been exchanging emails for the past couple of weeks, and she asked me if I could help set up interviews in San Jose. I didn't hesitate to say yes. So, sometime tomorrow, I am expecting to see her drive up in her 22 foot RV with her sister, Margaret and her 2 dogs.

What's for dinner? We are cooking an Indian dinner together. Rich and I both enjoy cooking and we often cook something Indian; however, we cheat and use prepared simmer sauces. This will be a new experience - can't wait!

Update on mom and dad:
Dad is still in a nursing home. Still very weak and sleeps alot. Mom is starting therapy for Lymphoma tomorrow. I'm worried about both of them. God, please place your healing hands upon mom and dad and watch over them.
