Somewhere over the Rainbow

Last evening it was approaching dinner time so Shawn and I decided to have a picnic dinner on the beach. We got our delicious dinner of pulled pork sandwiches, watermelon and coleslaw all packed up and ready to go when wouldn't you know it began to rain! I ran to my handy iPad to check the radar and saw it would stop within 20 minutes and that the sun would come out again. We waited and sure enough the sun came back out and brought a faint rainbow along with it right over the beach. I looked at Shawn and the kids and reminded them that when we were on vacation in Florida in January we also saw a rainbow. I announced that maybe it was a sign from Papa Jim and he is letting us know that he is with us here on our vacation. Nobody really responded; we went along to the beach to enjoy our dinner and the gorgeous evening. When we returned Molly and Myles were out watering the flowers and rinsing off and Shawn was just walking around picking weeds here and there when he found a dollar. "See", I said "it was a sign from your dad, he wants us to know he is here with us and since you weren't convinced now he is showing us the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow." This thought was intriguing and Shawn reminded me that his dad did indeed love the Dollar Store. Kind of a magical end to our evening. One of those moments that make you go "hmmmmmmm". We studied the dollar and noticed nothing unusual except that somebody wrote "Diane B" on the dollar. We don't know who "Diane B " is or what it could mean some are chalking her up as Papa Jim's new girlfriend!
