It was quite rainy all day yesterday, thundering and pouring at times, just incredibly humid at others. Not good for swimming at the pool for sure.

Ray caught the bus and I was at work early. I had a lovely lunch at a new restaurant with Julie M., who is the director of Community Connection. She asked me questions and listened to me and I had a great time. I told her that I enjoy starting up new organizations more than maintaining them and she said she did too. They "incubate" several young and small non-profits and she asked if I might be willing to be a mentor for one of them. I said probably, let me know more.

Meredith had a phone conversation with a consultant from GiftWorks, a programmer who is going to convert our data. She put her on speaker phone and I sat in. Unfortunately, they don't convert QuickBooks files. They have to be exported into Excel, which is not really a problem, but I can convert the donations or the donor information, but so far I have not been able to find a file that has the donations and the donors' first and last names in two separate fields. Today I will ask a couple people to see if I can find a way to do that.

I couldn't seem to get interested in cooking, maybe because there is nothing from the garden that "needs" to be eaten right now. So we went out to dinner. We had pizza and salads and sangria. One of the things we were celebrating was my Dad's good health. He went to the doctor (partly at my request) for a checkup and they said he was amazingly healthy. He hasn't even had indigestion in several weeks.

We found Ratatouille just starting on TV and enjoyed watching it, until I fell asleep about 9.

The dogs (I think Cameron) have been whining for almost an hour. I went down and let them out a while ago. I think he just wants to play. I shut him in his crate, because he has been finding things to chew on when he is not.
