England and BBQs

We had our end of the year Fellowship Group BBQ on Saturday. It was a gorgeous day. Charles spent a good part of the afternoon tidying the garden, setting out chairs, getting the grill ready. We were expecting about 30 people at four o'clock. At three fifty I came outside and looked up and then immediately said, 'Charles, it isn't going to rain is it?' There was no rain in sight until three forty five at best. At four thirty, this is what our BBQ looked like through the forty eyes staring out our living room door:



Thankfully, the pouring rain (and I do mean pouring, even from the perspective of someone who grew up with real rain storms and not just constant drizzle) only lasted about twenty minutes.

And Praise the Lord - the rest of our BBQ looked something like this:

Every good BBQ involves a downpour! Remember the time that Tim had a birthday BBQ and your parents were over, and Vern Farewell was outside in the rain? But it looks like folks had a good time once the weather dried up!

Love it. Remember life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It is about learning to dance in the rain. Too bad they don't make skin colored Popsicles or people with bright red skin. What a picture of Theo. Obviously icecream treats don't give him as much trouble as green beans and carrots.
