It rained today, so nice.  It makes everything so clean.  Did a little work around the house.  Read a book, Destiny of a Republic all about Pres. James Garfield.  A fasinating man, who was asassinated early into his presidency.  An odd fact and I love odd fact was the phrase "Ignorance is Bliss" came about because of Dr. Bliss who treated Garfield after he was shot.  The President would have lived if he had only been left untreated by Dr. Bliss who didn't believe in Lister's antiseptic treatment.

I washed, pulled a few weeds, talked to all the kids and am trying to get to bedtime.  I hope I have a more interesting day tomorrow.  I keep telling myself there are going to be days like this.  Just not busy enough.  I went for a drive to the cemetary.  I guess that the wind had blown pretty hard because some of the flowerrs were on the ground.  I tried to put them back so they would stay.  But you never know around here.

The flowers are beautiful, the rain has helped so much.

Love to all,  Grams
