The rain that woke me from a dead sleep in Detroit on Thursday night and that has been soaking us here in D.C. yesterday and today. This is the most rain we&#8217;ve had since April they said on the news this morning. It is a real blessing to hear it pit-pattering against our windows and on the leaves overhead.<\/p>\n<p>2. While in Detroit last week, I spent a night in Greektown, where I purchased <a href=\"http:\/\/www.astoriapastryshop.com\">four pastries<\/a> to bring home as souvenirs. (Don&#8217;t you love edible souvenirs?) Rudi and I split all four and got to sample godly baklava, a custard roll, a chocolate-dipped coconut bar, and a nut and honey filled delectable I can&#8217;t remember the name of. The young woman who helped me wrapped each pastry in wax paper, placed it in a white box, and tied it with red string. I was delighted and so was Rudi.<\/p>\n<p>3. Since the weather has cooled off, it&#8217;s been a week of wearing fun hats for me. I have two newsboy caps (one in green corduroy and one in brown tweed) that I wore earlier in the week. Today&#8217;s was a cute felted fedora-ish number I bought (at a Gap) in London. If it stays cool, I may break out one of my handknits later this week or maybe a witch&#8217;s hat for tomorrow night&#8217;s Halloween party.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not remotely beautiful to lose a furry friend, but the amount of joy and love they add to one&#8217;s life can&#8217;t begin to be quantified.
