Rain, Rain and More Rain

Our friends Ainslie and Beryl arrived about 11am yesterday morning at the beginning of our rainstorm. Beryl is English and has a delightful way of speaking--we met this couple in Mexico last year. We got their RV all situated in the driveway and spent the afternoon visiting. They brought us garden goodies--a huge box of beautiful peaches, some corn and squash.

It rained all afternoon and most of the night. This morning our rain gauge held 2.5 inches of rain, very unusual for us! It is also cool, we kept a fire in the fireplace all day yesterday.

Today Ainslie joined us on our morning walk which was a little soggy from all the rain. I had planned to go to Billings to have some blood work drawn that the new doctor I saw on Monday decided I needed. Everyone decided to join me for the trip. We headed out about noon, got to Billings, had the blood drawn and then had a very nice lunch at CJ's. A quick stop at Costco and the grocery store completed our Billings errands and we headed home.

Nat loves frozen pancakes that he can pop in the toaster (yuk) and I try to keep him supplied. He prefers one brand, Albertson's, so that was one of the items we purchased and then stopped at his house on the way through Big Timber to drop off the pancakes.

We didn't get home until almost 7pm and Ainslie kept complaining that he was parched because it was way past happy hour time but we remedied that shortly.

Tomorrow we are heading over to Yellowstone Park with both RV's for a few days so no more blog posts until probably after the weekend but think of all the wonderful photos I will have.
