Good morning, Meg.

That graphic is so cute ... Thank you.
So happy that you got that good rain.

Have a nice nap, but come back and chat after that.

I didn't see any of the Olympics last night. What did I miss this time? :(

Well, our gymnast, Nastia, (can't think of her last name) tied with China on the parallel bars, but....surprise, surprise, China got the gold medal and the U.S. gymnast got silver - even though the announcers were in agreement, Nastia's routine was so much better. There is no getting around the fact that thousands of Chinese in the stands chanting every time one of their athletes performs DOES have an impact on the judges.

Our gymnast was not happy, understandably, - after all, she TIED, but then came in second, but she was gracious and smiling up on the podium when she was awarded the silver medal. She should have gotten a gold medal also.
