Go Away Rain

The plan for the day was for us and the Osmonds to go up to French Harbour; Eileen was going to the fabric store to see if there was some unique material for quilting, and then we'd hit the big supermarket to stock up.  However, Betty had a bad night with some of her bug bite reactions and since she was out of a certain medication, our first trip was to the medical clinic in Sandy Bay.  That went pretty good, Betty got in to see the doctor pretty quick but there was only one pharmacist on so the drugs took some time.  The biggest surprise after all of that was the total bill; $3.00!!  Doctor consultation and four bottles of pills.....
Back home, picked up Osmonds and off we went.  Stopped at the bakery to pick up the bread we ordered.  Haven't tried it yet, but it sure looks good.  Judging by the pastries that we Glen bought that we ate on the road, it's going to be good.  Fabric store was a bust, groceries were picked up, and a stop at the bulk beer depot to stock up.  Lunch at the Blue Bahia in Sandy Bay (great burgers). 
Got home and unpacked. Everyone is getting cabin fever from the rain so Eileen, Glen, and I went for a walk (we'd already passed the girls when we drove home, they we're on a walk and Mandy wanted a nap).  This walk was Glens first trip down West End, and about every couple of hundred metres we'd run into somebody we knew, so we'd have to stop for a chat.  This place is so small townish, one of the main reasons we love it here so much.  On the way back, we ran into another couple we knew who asked us if that was our red car at the blue house.  We said Yes.  They said they went by and the horn was blaring non-stop.  Oh Oh.   Wonder how Mandys nap is going.....Mandy couldn't get it stopped but Betty and Dylaina got home about 15 minutes after it started, got a wrench from the security guy (who was holding his hands over his ears in his little house) and then got the battery disconnected.  We called the rental, he came, found the fuse for the horn and pulled it out.  There must be a short in the wiring from all the rain or something.
We had a couple of drinks on the deck, the rain stopped, it brightened up, and off we went for Valentines supper at Besos.  About half way there the skies opened up again.  We should have left five minutes sooner.  Those little travel umbrellas,,,,,,pack one for eveyone, don't expect to share......Mandy had rain down one crack, Dylaina another, Glen went to the bathroom and wrang his shirt out.  Great restaurant, the meals were super.  They even had Clamato juice for Ceasars.  It rained hard through most of the meal, so Glen and I took an umbrella each, and headed home.  There were rivers in the streets but we made it fairly easily.  I jumped into the hornless car and went for the ladies.  Good Valentines move there....although I'm not sure that I would have passed any breathelizers.  However, maximum speed on the way there and back would rarely exceed 10 kpm. 
We've been in touch with our Catamaran people and they are going to reschedule our trip to Friday.  We were supposed to go tomorrow but as you can tell, it's not the best Cat day in the forecast.  These guys are so accomadating.  The forecast for Friday is really good, so here's hoping.
