Rain Again

I am getting somewhat tired of the cool damp weather that Big River has been having. We have had only a few days of truly summer weather. The rest of the time has been overcast or raining. Although the cool weather is ideal for working (I don't get overheated) it is not very summery and the trees grow on the slow side. So it is time for some sun and heat. Besides, here we are again, trying to stay awake. What is it about rainy days that make you simply want to curl up on the couch?
There has been much discussion about a family reunion next summer. I imagine we will continue to discuss it via the e-mails since I am sure some people are not coming to this page. I know I had a difficult time - remembering my username, remembering my password, finding the posting setting. It is so true that practice makes perfect, or at least capable.
My news? let me think.... I suppose my news is that I continue to practice my fiddle. I am actually going to a workshop this summer. Three days of instruction. I'm looking forward to it, though I really just want to play it, it don't want to have to learn anything. Not the most realistic expectations, but there you have it.
My other plans for the summer include being there when Meadow's new baby is born, and going to a music festival at Canmore. The line-up for the festival is wonderful (as far as we are concerned). Lots of people we have enjoyed over the years. Here's hoping the two events don't coincide. Some decisions can be extremely difficult.
