Today has been a wonderful day full of surprises and gifts. Â Mother Nature finally gave us some respite from this drought and this heat. Â It has been raining all afternoon and my little thermometer is reporting a temperature of 72 degrees. Â It has been so unbearably hot that 72 degrees feels cold. Â I am going to have to put on long pants before my Chamber of Commerce meeting in an hour.
The rain was not my only surprise today!!
The greatest gift I received today came in the mail from my sweet Aunt Gloria up in beautiful Traverse City, Michigan.  Much to my surprise, the mailman had a package for me today…a book.  In fact, a wonderful inspirational book about a woman who has journeyed from being a nun to being an innkeeper.  The book is full of wonderful prayers and inspirational thoughts.  The book is also full of yummy recipes.  I can’t wait to get my new kitchen in so I can try some of these out.
Thank You Aunt Gloria! Â Your sweetness brought a smile to my heart today!
