Good afternoon GH. It is just past 3:30 p.m. in "The City." Sometimes a blog waits for just the right time, which is now. The current temperature according to the weather station is 61.9° with rain and a total overcast sky.

Another successful visit by "The Kids", Steph and Adam, yesterday, and today. They came, they saw, they conquered, well at least they conquered STWD's usual disdain for their visits. In fact, the intrepid weather dog actually snuggled up to Adam on the couch. She has been especially needy the last few days, so maybe this is a manifestation that resulted from that neediness.

We had a great dinner last night crafted by Mary and to a small extent by yours truly. I did some peeling and chopping, but Mary was responsible for the majority of the preparations. The results were an excellent vegan "Roast Beast", roasted butternut squash, dressing, mushroom gravy, and for me, jellied cranberry sauce from a can. In all cases, the meal was vegan.

Otherwise, not much was happening. With the assistance of both Adam and Steph, I placed a few more pieces in my jigsaw puzzle.

I also edited more with Mary yesterday and then we stopped for the day, because "The Kids" arrived. We just finished that editing and sent the index on it's way.

I have no additional plans for this afternoon. Perhaps some TV, reading the Grand Haven Tribune, and that's about it.

As I am writing, the Lions and the Bears are losing, so I haven't wasted my time watching those disasters.

The sun rose this morning at 8:07 a.m. and it will set in less than two hours at 5:10 p.m. Ciao.
