Rain, Rain Go Away...

And stay there dammit!

Why is it that every weekend I have off it's destined to pour rain for the entire time?

My weekend at the cottage turned out to be extremely rainy but for one day, I had this weekend off, and it rained both days. Clearing up only in time for me to go back to work on Monday.

My aunt and cousins are here visiting from Illinios, so we had all kinds of activities planned for the weekend. Saturday we were going to go to the Renaissance Festival. And we did, even though the skies were threatening rain. We had a couple of umbrellas and we were on our way. We got there in time to see The Tartan Terrors, who totally crack me up. They are fairly bawdy and completely hysterical. I was crying from laughter. After that we went to get out of the rain and saw these guys that called themselves the Loudley Brothers. They were acting out the story of "Puss in Boots" for us. Again, hysterical laughter. But then it started to rain in earnest, so we had to leave. And we'd hardly seen anything. So, I'm going to try and get there again sometime....which of course means it'll rain that day too, but I'll take a raincoat and an umbrella, and perhaps some rubber boots....and it'll be fun.

So, I have Friday through Sunday off this week, and I'm going to Vancouver. Yes, from what I know of Vancouver it's rainy city. It's bound to rain. I can't think of a single reason for it not to. Aside from the fact that it'd be nice to have some time off when it's sunny. Also, sight seeing in the rain isn't overly fun. I've done it before of course, but still, totally not fun.

So, right now the extended weather forcast says scattered showers Friday and Saturday and sunny periods on Sunday. With a 40% chance of rain....

How much do you want to bet that it'll be sunny and gorgeous on Monday?
