I am going to buy a big canning pot with a liftable insert, my double boiler leaks water everywhere on the stove.
Afterward, I took Paul down to Cobban and Ray's house to play in the pool.

The monsoon is in full force and it is raining a lot in southeastern Arizona. Everything was so lush and green and the wild sunflowers are blooming.
For supper I had made pimento cheese wraps and Ray made a nice pasta salad. I ate too much and got a little acid reflux.
Rainbow!
It was a nice way to spend the day, domesticity and friends.
