rain or shine

Our weekend was rather rainy.  Actually it has just been rainy here lately.  Every afternoon the thunderclouds roll in from the mountains.  Where we live, kind of up on a hill 20 miles east of the mountains, we can watch the storms as they move over the city toward us.  Sunday brought torrential downpours.  Barry is such a good dad– he’s not one to let a little a lot of rain throw a wrench in our plans.

Our little homegrown fireworks show looked like this:

(That’s our new (to us) camper over to the left of the picture set up in front of our house to “dry out” from our camping trip.  The whole drying out thing took a couple of days because as soon as it dried out it rained again.)

He’s even brave, or crazy, enough to hunch over on really skinny tires and ride really fast with a bunch of other guys on skinny tires going really fast on wet slippery pavement.

The rest of us were crazy enough to go watch him.

  1. I’ll have your spare rain Jessica! We’re having a long dry spell here in Britain. Must be the first time ever that rain didn’t stop play at Wimbledon.

  2. congrats re: the camper!! 😀

    we have quite a collection going with a vintage airstream and a vintage vw van. :^P
