Leave the Umbrella at home


Yesterday we had some unexpected rain. Well, unexpected to a girl who never watches the forecast, but this rain came with the sun and that is always a surprise to me. Anyway, Carsten and I were out running fun errands and the bottom suddenly fell out. I saw women scrambling for their umbrellas and a few that already had their plastic hair protectors securely tied on. I looked down at Carsten in the parking lot, and he was smiling ear to ear with his hands raised high to the sky; I had someone to share the rain with, someone who enjoyed these unexpected drops. So we stood outside with our mouths open wide -ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. Soaked and giggling we waddled into the store ready to do some shopping. -----One of the many lessons Carsten has taught me about life: leave the umbrella at home.
