It is finally raining today. It is also cool and a little windy. There has been a drought in this area for many months and we are still way behind in rainfall. So, every time it rains we send up a little prayer of thanks. No matter how BAD the weather may seem, we are always glad to see the rain. Fall is fast approaching, the leaves keep falling on the ground and into the pool, and Joe can't keep up with them.
I will be working this weekend, but on Sunday we are going to celebrate Daniel's 15th birthday here. When I was in Germany with Joey and his family last month, I brought home some breading mix to make "schnitzel." Since Daniel loved Germany when they were there this past summer, I will be making german food. I don't know if the kids will like the german potato salad and red cabbage that has to go with the schnitzel, but it should be authentic. Maybe I can find some real "brochen" at the Whole Foods bakery tomorrow to add to the authenticity. I weakened at Sam's this week, when they handed out samples of an absolutely delicious pumpkin cake. I tried to resist, but in the end acquiesced and bought one on the excuse it can fill in for a birthday cake. Hope everyone likes as much as I did. If not, there's always vanilla ice cream for this gang. Happy Birthday!! Daniel.
