Rain, Rain, Go Away...

It has been a very rainy November with lots of flooding in this area. The rivers are swollen and overflowing, blocking several roads around here. We are wet, but not flooded or even leaking. This is pretty typical for November. The month probably won't end without a wind storm that brings down lots of branches and a few trees. That seems to be the pattern for November in the Pacific Northwest. I recently put a small weather and time widget on this blog right under the map. It shows the current temperature, time, and weather indicated by the picture background.

On a brighter note, Drew has been on a job assignment in Sweden for the past two weeks and is returning home today. He has a 4-hour layover at the airport before catching the last leg of his flight home, so John and I will be going to the airport later today to have dinner with him while he waits for his connecting flight. It's also Sarah's birthday today, so he is getting home just in time. The children were wonderful and remembered her birthday on their own. JJ set his own alarm so he could get up and make breakfast for his mom. Hannah had made a necklace for her mom which she presented to her first thing this morning. We really do have the BEST grandkids!
