Singing in the Rain

When we moved to Nanwalek we brought everything anyone would have ever considered necessary under any circumstances, but I have decided we definitely could have used at least one other item.  After having a great singing our hearts out to some super great tunes session with Mike I have decided that I either need my Daddi or a piano.  If Daddi (yes, I know it's not spelled normally, but my Daddi is extra special so he gets a special spelling) were here we could have a serious pickin' and singin' session (and grinnin' for you "Hee Haw" fans out there).  At the very least, I could get the chords out on a piano to help guide us along.  I am no piano player by any stretch of the imagination, but I can at least find the chords to get a basic guide.  Those of you who know me, know that rhythm was not one of the talents God blessed me with.  For those of you who don't, that person in the crowd who always puts their hands together at the wrong time when clapping is me.  Such is life I suppose.  I don't guess I have much to complain about if one of the things on  my wish list is an instrument I can't even play well enough to be called bad at it.

Having things to do inside has been of utmost importance these last several weeks as it is still raining daily.  We had a short break yesterday, but the forecast is calling for rain every day the rest of the week.  I've gotten so used to rain that I'm no longer considering sprinkling, drizzling, or even light rain as real rain.  Any level of rain that would have had me walking quickly to the door doesn't really get noticed as rain any more.  That's just a regular part of the day to day environment.  I can imagine after a little longer in these weather conditions I will find myself visiting home and asking questions like "What?  Aren't little water droplets just a normal part of the air?"
