We had thunderstorms overnight and a steady rain fell most of today.  This was the first significant rain we have had since we returned home and more showers are predicted for tomorrow.

We slept in a little later this morning and after breakfast John headed into town to gas up the Honda and take care of a few errands.  He picked up a couple of new tomato plants to replace we lost to the frost last week and got them in the garden between showers.

I spent the morning working in the bathroom grouting the top edge of the tile around the tub and sink, got a few more tools put away, and some cleaning up accomplished.  

This afternoon we had to be up at the school by 3p.m. to pick Sam up and take him to Bemidji for his doctor appointment.  Sara had major dental work done this afternoon and Matt was working in Bemidji, so John and I were recruited to get Sam to the clinic.  Matt met us there and went with Sam to his appointment.  

John and I headed off to Home Depot to return the extra tiles, grout, and several other items left over from the bathroom project.  We also stopped at Gander Mountain and picked up our 2012 fishing licenses.  Matt called and said he and Sam were done at the clinic, so we met them at BK for a quick bite.  The doctor was very pleased with how Sam's fingers were healing and was optimistic about the outcome.  He is to return to the clinic in three weeks and is allowed to get the fingers wet when showering.  The doctor also wants Sam to start using his hand more, but he has to be very careful.  Sam can shoot a basketball, but cannot play the game.

We made several stops looking for a new mirror for the bathroom, but couldn't find the size we needed.  Hopefully, Home Depot will get the size we need in sometime next week.  Our final stop was Wal Mart for groceries and then we hit the road to home.
