Singing in the Rain Part 2

(It's hard to tell, but there are 6 umbrellas hanging here)

Unfortunately the umbrella Granny purchased from the Dollar Tree malfunctioned. So rather then having a dome shaped umbrella when it was opened all the way, it didn't expand all the way and had a dip around the center, which would of course collect water. Granny was very disappointed and so decided it was worth her time and effort to take it back to the store to get her dollar back. Which of course is very involved and I much would have rather have just given her a dollar. For Granny to go to the store it means getting her walker down the back steps, to the back gate which is padlocked, to the garage which is padlocked, open the garage (not automatic), unlock the car, put her walker in the backseat, put the seatbelt around the walker, get in the front seat, back out of the garage, get out of the car, shut the garage door, put the padlock back on the garage door, drive to the store, get the walker out, return it the umbrella and the repeat the process.....for a dollar! I know that the economy isn't doing so well, but seriously? The good news is my gracious big sister bought her a new pink umbrella, which I'm pretty sure cost more then a dollar. Granny was all aglow when she saw it, especially since pink is her favorite color.

It's now the middle of October and still, no rain.
