Just returned from a super fun party weekend in GP. I went to Dauphin's National Ukrainian Festival with my madre on Saturday. The weather was somewhat less than co-operative. The afternoon grandstand show had to be cancelled bc of the rain and then the evening show performers got about half way through when ominous clouds came in from the west. People slowly began to retreat to the top of the hill. Then dark sheets of rain became visible and more people began moving. Finally, big, slow drops started falling and literally hundreds of people started making the dash for cover. Except it was Dauphin, and this was the Ukrainian festival, so it was hundreds of senior citizens slowly but hurriedly shuffling their way to shelter. Mom and I (and everyone else) got completely soaked.
But at least the cossacks got to ride in on their horses before the rain started, because that's always the highlight of the show anyway.
And, as my parents always say, now that the festival is over, summer is gone.....it's kinda sad.
On a brighter note, I got to spend some time with my niece, who is growing and sooooooooo cute. See the pic her very mature daddy took after supper at mom and dad's house on Sunday. And I had a super fun time at games night with Jo, Bean and the BSM. We played a farming game and I didn't come in last place!
All in all, a perfect weekend.
