It's raining as I type this, a welcome and soothing rain, quieting yet another crazy week. Hopefully it's not typical for most, but I know several people going thru trying times these past few weeks, and I'm wishing for a brighter weeks ahead for all of us. This weekend is a fairly quiet weekend, and one for which I'm particularly grateful.
