Richland Bliss

There are many reasons to love Richland and one is the weather. Here is today's hourly forecast.


And here is a snapshot of today at 9am. Heaven. Sure, it might rain later, but Richland rain is just not the same as Portland!

Today Christian and I went to Walgreen's to get in on some deals that I had forgotten to do in Portland. We got the following loot pictured for a grand total of $1.77* (The asterisk takes into consideration Register Rewards. If you don't know what Register Rewards are, all you need to know is I essentially paid $1.77!). The cashier at the make-up counter was the most helpful cashier I've encountered. When I started looking at make-up, she said to make sure I told her when I was checking out because she had all sorts of coupons. I immediately knew I was in the presence of my own kind! When I actually did check out, she split up my purchases into two separate purchases to maximize my savings and my Register Rewards. A real gem!


So far we've been hitting all our new and old favorites. The Bookworm at its new location, where I got our new bookclub book, Little Bee, for $3 used. I also picked up two canvas totes even though I have about a million of them at home. Good old Hanford High School, which has had a total renovation. I barely recognize it! I picked up a sweatshirt and jogged through the campus. The Richland Public Library (where we currently are) which has also had a total renovation. And Winco, site of an extraordinary bulk candy selection.

Never get tired of sleeping Leelee photos. Open dirly train book.

My new Vibram 5-fingered shoes that I never thought I would get.

A moment of boredom last week. Leelee in a ponytail.
