Exactly what you'd expect...

It is raining! Not too hard, but it is raining. No sliding or flooding though. The ground here has an amazing ability to soak it all up with puddle only on pavement. It is a bit chilly too, but the house we are renting is very insulated - I can't even hear the rain and our very old house is very cozy warm.

The big news of the day...??? I finally have a dryer again! We left our old gas dryer in CA knowing we couldn't use it up here and we just haven't had time to find a new one. The strange thing about Oregon is that they use so many electric appliances rather than gas. The only reason we can come up with is that the power generating dam is very close by. Anyway, we bought it off Craig's list so that we didn't spend too much in the RARE, but possible event that the house we buy will have a gas hook-up. I'd get going on the heaps and piles of laundry, but now the washer needs the packing bolts removed and to be hooked up....darn! I guess I'll have to wait until tonight.

Later today, K has her first woodwooking class with an artist from the Artisan's Guild. Should be interesting. The class is very focused on individual projects, so each "tween" or "teen" will be doing their own thing. I'll have to let you know how well it goes.
