Of course, we fell back on movies, as we often do, but we also spent a little time with some watercolor painting. 



The rain let up a little, so we ventured out for lunch. I wanted Darla to have the spinach salad with strawberry vinaigrette and the butter pecan cheesecake at Divot's. She approved most heartily.
