drip drop

We live in a part of the United States that gets quite a bit of rain. We're not too far from Seattle. Believe it or not, there has been such a dry spell that we've had a burn ban, but today it rained. Hard.
My friend Karen has been prodding me to start a blog. I'm doing this one as an experiment. I'm sort of a private person, so I wasn't sure what I would write, or if I would even want to post pictures.
Another friend of mine tried to start a blog and ran into trouble, so I'm trying it out to see if the same thing happens to me.
I'm going to ramble about some things.
We like a brand of fruit preserves - Danish Orchards. I've bought it for years. Then one day I was in Costco and saw a good deal on some jelly. You know how that goes. That stuff lasted for months and months.
For those of you who are actually reading this and don't know, Danish Orchards came in a little blue tub with a white handle. Part of its charm was that you were getting a tiny little bucket. Once we had eaten all of the preserves, I washed the tub out and we used those cute little tubs for all sorts of projects. Namely fruit picking. We have picked huckleberries, cherries, and raspberries with those, and they are just the right size.
So we finally ran out of the jelly I bought at Costco, and I decided to buy Danish Orchards again.
They changed the tub! There is no cute little handle anymore. Oh, they put a really pretty picture of fruits on the lid, but there is no handle.
I've noticed I can't tolerate potato chips like I used to. They're too salty.
We haven't had much summer weather, and I don't want to think about the clouds drifting in again. I have done well here, until this winter. It seemed it would never end.
Gas is still over $4 a gallon here, though it has dropped by a few cents in the past couple of weeks.
Did you know certain gas stations put a hold on your account when you purchase gas with a debit card. I assume it is the same with a credit card. I think this should be illegal. They not only put a hold on what you actually purchase, they add more on. I know Costco holds $100, and 76 holds $75. You could easily have an overdraft on your bank account because they are holding your money.
"Nobody suffers like the poor baby."
That's a line from a movie. I tend to do that a lot, when it fits.
Time to see if this works.
