What a difference a day makes

Wow. I guess the mad scientists decided to turn the dial to "Awesome" on the weather-controlling machine today. All week the forecast kept calling for a lovely, sunny weekend, but it was a little hard to buy, what with all the rain. But whadaya know? They were right. It's soooo nice out right now. All sunny with chirping birds and people who really shouldn't be wearing shorts in public. Tomorrow morning we're heading out to Penticton to check out my brother's new home. He used to live in Regina. So I imagine he's really enjoying this turn in the weather. If you've never been to Regina, you can't possibly know how icky it is.

Hmmm, the early news is on right now and warning of severe avalanche risks due to the shift in the weather. So, if you never hear from me again, it's because we're trapped under a pile of rocks on the highway some where.

I'm putting my alcohol hiatus on hold for the weekend--I'd decided to jump on the wagon in preparation for getting knocked up, but that can wait a few more days. No future child of mine would begrudge me one last long weekend of balcony drinking in the sun. I've already conceded New Years and St Patrick's Day, if need be, so this May Long is non-negotiable.

You know, I had a bunch of things, fascinating things, to share with you today, but who can concentrate with summer beckoning. Have a lovely weekend.

You went through hometown and didn't stop?

You're dead to me, you hear?

I even had beer. Which actually helps in conceiving, if the anectodes of most of my parental friends are to be believed.

Technically, we never went through Kelowna. We took the number 3 through Princeton to avoid the rock slides and camper convoys.
Man it's hot out there. Luckily there were plenty of pubs and ice cream stands. What more could you need?
