Random Update

*  I got impatient yesterday and opened up a Pomegranate. (Marcel gave me a disapproving look).  It wasn't ready.  The little seeds were formed and plump, but they were just now beginning to turn red.  I ate some, and they did taste pretty good - considerng.  Can't wait until October or November. 

*  I will get an extra long holiday weekend.  I am switching my half day with a friend (I'll work her Sunday this weekend - she'll work my Saturday next), so I will be off Friday evening through Tuesday morning.  Yay!!!  I'm drivin' down to Corpus to hang with my honey.  Sierra will have her boy-toy with her at the house for the weekend, so (hopefully) the chickens will get fed and garden watered (crossing fingers).

*  I think I made a post once about a wine called Gruner Veltliner.  I found an article about it in an old culinary magazine and my interest was aroused (I'm so easy).  I did some online research and got even more excited (I said I was easy....).  I've never been a wine buff or even all that interested, but for some reason reading this article captured my attention.  Since I learned about it, every time I go to a wine section I've looked for it.  No luck until Sunday.  I found it at Whole Foods, and Marcel bought me a bottle.  We drank it with dinner (Mustard/Curry tofu w/ brown rice and wilted Dandelion green salad......).

* We are toying with the idea of renting out (or selling - but in this market doubtful) the New Braunfels house and me moving down South.  There is so much that would need to be considered before that happened - but the idea is there (and it's being toyed with....) :-)

Oh yeah - it rained last night (yay)

So it was you who stole the rain before it got here!
