rain

It's raining again today.  Yesterday Rory and I braved the elements to walk downtown to run several errands.  We were to pick up Rory's new hiking backpack, but they'd reserved the wrong one for us and they didn't have the right one.  So no new backpack for Rory to hike in.  She was a little bummed.

That was our last stop.  Before that she was walking and I was pushing the stroller.  She rides in the stroller downtown and then home, but I let her out to walk while we're shopping.  I've discovered and love the Asian grocery store -- okra and edamame yesterday!  Both things that you just do not see at the regular Norwegian grocery store.

Not sure what we're going to do today.  Probably go out (in the car) to buy a new coffee pot.  The one we have now has been getting stuck.  It makes a few cups and then I don't really know what happens...it gets loud and the rest of the water just steams out.  Annoying.  Especially because I then have to turn it off to stop the steam and so my second cup of coffee is cold.

We really have not had that much rain lately.  But it did rain a good bit Saturday, yesterday, and it looks like today is all rain.  Cannot complain too much.  It's what I got my wellies for.  But sunshine is better.
