One look at the forecast reveals that we could go outside at 7:00 p.m. this evening if we did not want to get wet. But, as we all know, Mary has her watercolor class this afternoon at 1:00 p.m.\u00a0 Water Color, m-m-m-m-m.<\/p>\n

No way Jos\u00e9<\/p><\/div>\n

We got up late since we had nothing on the calendar except for Mary to finish her tax returns and me to make yesterday’s planned dessert.<\/p>\n

Remember: \u201cIncome tax returns are the most imaginative fiction being written today.<\/em>\u201d \u2014 Author Herman Wouk<\/p>\n

Remember: \u201cWhat is the difference between taxidermists and tax collectors? The taxidermist takes only your skin.<\/em>\u201d \u2014 Author Mark Twain.<\/p>\n

We checked on the garden since it was supposed to rain all day, and Scout supervised from his perch on the patio!\u00a0 He managed to move his eyes and that was about all!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Fourteen years old and still feisty!<\/p><\/div>\n

I drove Mary to her painting class in Tustin since it was supposed to rain hard this afternoon!\u00a0 I didn’t want her watercolor to get water on it!\u00a0 We stopped by the UPS store as we sent a Care Package to Becky.<\/p>\n

There were fifty-seven drops falling from the sky as I swooped in to pick up mylady prompty at 3:00 pm, that’s when school was out!<\/p>\n

It’s easy to find Mary, she is the one waiving her artwork yelling, “Ooky ooky what I did!”<\/p>\n

Going inside, I carried the painting bag, painting board complete with latest work,and her pallette to the car.<\/p>\n

\"\"

This painting made me want to cook up a storm since sugar is always neeed!<\/p><\/div>\n

After getting home and brewing some tea, we dove into the kitchen like culinary superheroes. I whipped up some banana rolls using puff pastry, trying to channel my inner gourmet chef, but I think I just ended up with a pastry that looked more like a banana on vacation than anything edible. Meanwhile, Mary was making meatloaf and peas from our backyard\u2014because who doesn’t want to add a side of dirt to their dinner? We laughed so hard our dishes almost burned! Just another evening of cooking disasters and moments we\u2019ll never forget!<\/p>\n

I chopped four bananas and put them into a puff pastry sheet, then rolled them up! The roll was sliced and drizzled with milk, sugar, and cinnamon!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Fun must be had all the time!<\/p><\/div>\n

The effort took longer than I thought, but it was well worth it!!<\/p>\n

\"\"

I lined them up, squirted the bananas with lemon juice, and rolled them up for the oven!<\/p><\/div>\n

Into the fire they went for 30 minutes at 375 degrees!<\/p>\n

\"\"

We could smell them as they approached 30 minutes in the fire!<\/p><\/div>\n

We took some dinner over to Jeff and visited him for a while before returning home.<\/p>\n

The sun was setting, and the rain clouds were threatening again!<\/p>\n

\"\"

We made it home without getting wet!!<\/p><\/div>\n

It was 7:30 pm, and we had zero rain!\u00a0 The weatherman failed massively!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It is now 9:00 pm, and there has been zero rain all day!!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n
