A double rainbow this afternoon - breathtaking through a light rain - took me back to another amazing double rainbow. On our first day of vacation this May, I'd just driven through a squall and Sandy said, "Wow, that's amazing." I thought she was talking about the rain, but she pointed - and there it was, a stunning rainbow. We could see the full thing, from one side to the other. And then a second rainbow appeared. We were both giddy.
We'd just been to the fake Stonehenge in Maryhill, and we were approaching Pendleton, Oregon, where we stayed that night. Sandy had had some nausea earlier but we were pleased with ourselves for actually getting the car packed and hitting the road that day, and we had no idea nausea was to be her norm. It was the first flush of vacation; we felt free and excited. We took the rainbow as an indication that this was a special day - and that good things lay ahead.
