Excerpt from letter sent to epals:


There is light rain this morning, but we are expecting significant amounts of rain and thunderstorms over the next several days. I haven't had the TV on this morning to hear about Hurricane Alex's progress, but if it gets too bad, San Antonio will also be getting lots of people who are evacuating from the coastal area.

Sis got home Monday night from her week's trip to Colorado and she had to drive through rain nearly all the way, a lot of it heavy. But she did have a great time while she was there, attending a family reunion and getting to see some interesting places on side trips, including the Garden of the Gods and a castle. She was able to spend some time with our brother and sister-in-law there and brought back lots of pictures. I've been scanning them for her and hope to put some of them on my blog photo album. It's a time-consuming process with my scanner so I still have a lot of them yet to do. I got sleepy and went to bed before finishing last night.

She brought home some fresh rhubarb and some home-made mincemeat, the old-fashioned kind with meat in it. Those are two of my favorite pie ingredients, so I am looking forward to some tasty desserts.

Update: She made two pies - one of each flavor and they are just as delicious as I expected they would be.
