Today is mild and sunny - such a nice break after many days of cold rainy yuckiness.

The house is peaceful now as Kyle is doing his math, sharing the sunspot with Otis the dog (AKA Woogie).

Tiger Lilli, Kyle's cat is curled up in a ball on my bed as I do the time entry for the office. Abby was reading this morning, but now she's finally off to take her shower - now that her big sister has, at last, freed up the bathroom. Her cat, Tombo, is sleeping on her bed. Abby is so blissfully happy because we found a volume of the complete Shakespeare at Borders (for 30% off of $19.99 - gotta love that educator's discount and extra coupon).

As this is Jesse's one day off, she has headed off to meet up with her friend Veronica for about an hour, then she'll work a shift at the toy store this afternoon and, at the end of the day, wind up at the barn she manages, feeding Spencer and Cherokee and then cleaning out the barn.
