The weatherperson said it was supposed to rain today and it did. But not as much as we thought it would. It was a misty day, mostly dry, but no sunshine. Rick compared the weather here with where we will be fishing in 6 weeks, and it was about 15 degrees warmer there! I think he was trying to make a point about heading for Montana, but I'm not finished with the Oregon coast.
It rained enough so we were able to test the windshield wipers. No, we didn't drive, we just turned them on to test them. They work fine, but we don't plan to drive in the rain if we don't have to.
The cool (cold!) weather has prompted me to use the slow cooker to make piping-hot soups and chowders. I mentioned this to Rick's sister (in the SoCal area) and she said she was planning meals that are light and refreshing. Today I made clam chowder, couple days ago it was potato soup similar to my Mom's. And a french onion was real yummy. Rick enjoys cooking on the BBQ grill and I enjoy it when he does. But it's too cold today!
It's been a day for organizing photos on the laptop (I need to post some from our recent drive up the coast) and working a little on a crocheted blanket. Rick has been fiddling with computer stuff - GPS POIs, Streets & Trips, and final notes before our appointment with Guaranty RV, our motorhome dealer.
I'll finish off this post by letting you know the wind is picking up, the big puffy white clouds are ripping by, the electric heater is on, and the clam chowder is ready.
