We had rain last night

Actually a violent thunder and lightening storm but it did come with rain. I was up using the sump pump and glad to see the wet stuff coming down. In North Bay they were having the annual long weekend Summer in the Park festival with top named performers ie Mariana's Trench and Meatloaf. The storm came out of nowhere across Lake Nipissing and blew at the outdoor stage and with fears of it tumbling down, they had to cancel the last act, that being Meatloaf. So the audience saw all but that one group play. We went one year and bought the weekend wrist bands, and attended all the performances and I said "not again" and we haven't been back since. I actually got sick because of the heat and the loud, very loud, music. That year the highlight for me was seeing Randy Bachman and Glen Campbell but could easily have missed the other rock bands and not been sorry. Tomorrow we ahve to go down to the Lake to visit with Harry's cousin who has a lot and trailer set up. They come up from Hamilton very infrequently - wonder even why they continue on with the property but I guess if they can come even one week a year it may be worth it for them. This is the lot that we drive to during the year to check on. Well, time for bed - I have the Olympics on the TV but it appears to be repeats from earlier today. Some exciting events but once you've seen them the first time, the thrill is gone! Take care PS. Cathy, did you get the pool cleaned out?
