Rain, Rain, Go Away...Maybe Not

Memory #1 - Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Memory #2 - Playing Games such as Risk

Memory #3 - Tracting in the Rain

Memory #4 - Sitting in Front of the Fireplace

In the words of Milli Vanilli (or whoever it was that was actually singing those songs) "Blame it on the Rain!"  It appears Spring may have finally arrived, at least by the sound of the rain outside.  At least it isn't snow.  I like the rain, really.  I have many fond memories of rain.  My mission for one.  It rained ALWAYS in British Columbia.  Of course, not always, but one area I lived in received more rain on an annual basis than did Ireland!  Rain always brings back fond memories of my mission.  Secondly, the flooded Pipeline.  Pipeline Avenue constantly flooded when it rained.  In spots, they had two foot curbs to corral the rain.  We used to cruise to Pipeline and try and hydroplane, or splash kids on the side of the street, or stand on the side of the street to be splashed!  Fun times.  Lastly, it reminds me of home.  I don't know how often we did this, but for some reason rain causes reminiscing of playing games in front of the fireplace.  I wish we had a fireplace and I wish I had someone to play Risk with.  Oh well.  Happy thoughts at least.
