A beautiful rainy day!

I don't know if I have ever said that before and certianly not when I was living in Costa Rica without a car.  But today it is beautiful because today is a day where I can stay home where it is warm and dry and don't have to go anywhere...yup, beautiful and rainy can be used to desribe today.

So I mixed up some cookies and I'm thinking a batch of brownies would be an inviting smell for my kids as they jump across the puddle as they get off the bus. 

On the other hand if you stopped by and begged for coffee and a brownie, warm out of the oven,  I would certianly give you one, but you would then also notice that my house is not as beautiful as the rain.  A thick layer of dust has settled as the carpenters work on making my windows air tight and rain proof.  So cleaning right now is like shoveling snow while it is stilling snowing.

But I'm happy, happy to be loved and apprieciated by my family and happy that I have a kitchen aid mixer and happy that I am blessed with so much. 

Enjoy your day, I'm off to find a good brownie recipe.
