Rainy Monday

Chris and Alice Cooking Scrabble on the porch Potato Soup on the Stove
Lunch Playing Hand and Foot Chris making sandwiches

I heard the rain on our cabin roof during the night, and hoped by dawn it would be gone. We were equipped for the cold weather that had been predicted for our vacation, but rain would put a serious kink in our plans. And, indeed, it did - we woke to a steady rain that did not let up all day.

After a breakfast of pumpkin bread with cream cheese, we played scrabble again on the screened-in porch and resigned ourselves to inside activities. We started a pot of potato soup around ten, then played a game of hand and foot as the delicious smells of celery, onions and potatoes mingled and filled the cabin. We ate our soup with grilled cheese sandwiches, another comfort food since childhood.        Next Page
