We had a lot of rain today and Gavin and Patty, for some perverted reason, wanted to go out every five minutes.  I soaked all my shoes and waterlogged every jacket I own.  Dripping jackets hung from every kitchen chair back and coat hook by nightfall.  Our weather forecasters have proclaimed that this winter we will have more rain than snow.

     That is when it hit me; I don’t own anything that’s even remotely waterproof.  DH has three waterproof jackets.  I could borrow one of his jackets without him complaining.  Nevertheless, wouldn’t it be better if I had my own?  You bet. 

     I hate to shop.  However, it looks as though I’ll have to start hunting for the perfect waterproof jacket.  While I’m at it might be a good idea to find some rain boots too.
