Rose and I are alone in the house tonight. This has become a treat when it's just me and my girl, and a couple of magazines. But I think our solitude may be short lived. I hear Mr. B's key in the door.

It was so hot in Houston today. I think the temperature reached 80+ degrees. And it's early February. I hope it's not time to put away my scarves. I don't really have winter clothes in Houston. I just add a scarf around my neck to stay warm.

Today I'm creating newsletter articles. One of our neighbors gave us some homemade granola. I've been eating it out of the baggie. Yummy!
