Making peanut butter cookies and reading by the fire

A very rainy day....definitely Junuary.    Seemed like a good day to make cookies (these were Don's favourite) and read Alexander McCall Smith's "The Comforts of a Muddy Saturday".   Erna recommended this one and I'm enjoying it a lot.   And Richard sent me a text this morning saying he had arrived safely.   All's right with the world.

While I would rather have sunshine at this time of the year I guess I'm a real Vancouverite in that I rather enjoy looking at the rain.
