We awoke to driving rain yesterday and chilly temperatures.
A day for good cooking, a fire in the fireplace,
and an excellent book.

I put a pork loin in the oven, built that fire that delights the eye and warms the body as well and settled
down with Death Comes to Pemberley by P.D. James. She
wrote this book in the style of Jane Austin and borrowed
Elizabeth Bennett and family as characters and it is the
perfect book for a rainy day.

We are making plans for our family reunion at Thanksgiving.
It will be here because Bobby can come more easily. Sara
and her family are going to Louisiana but that will be the
only absence. Sara's mother-in-law is getting remarried
and that is such a blessing. Anita is a good person and
has been so used by her children that it is nice to know
that she will have a life of her own and someone to care
for her.

When the cooking was done, I took lunch to Ashley and
Bobby. Adrienne got another 7,500 scholarship for
women in engineering and it is applicable to dorm rent.
I think this about does it for college expenses which
is a great relief.
