It's raining, it's pouring.....

Fathersday......

(Ohhh isnt he the cutest dog in the whole wide world??? I thinks o!!!)

Is there such a thing in the states?? Well yesterday was fathersday/mensday here. Basically all men celebrate, they dont necessarily have to be fathers! Normally the men meet and walk and walk and walk for hours and drink! Yeah... does not sound like fun!!
I am not a father, nor am I a man but I still thought it would be nice to walk and walk and walk and drink.. Haha... just kidding! If you know me, you know I dont drink! So we had a much better idea!!

The weather had been quite nice the last couple of days. We only had thunder storms and rain in the evening. We decided to invite some friends over (early) to bbq. Nicole, Momo and I sat on the balcony in the afternoon waiting for our friends and the rain started!! We just sat there and watched it and prayed it would stop later..

Friends arrived and it stopped..

So we decided to get the grill started!! This is Susis way of starting it!!

Well someone had other plans for us!

The rain came down and wouldnt stop! I watched from the dry balcony and said things like these: "Ohh look, it's looking nicer over there, just a couple of minutes and the rain will stop!!"
"I think the sun is about to come out again!!"

I think I jinxed it!

It got worse...

and worse.....

It took forever until we could start eating!! But finally around 8:30 we were done and we brought out the game!!

Peter and me!!

He had to draw something wearing orange glasses and drawing with an orange pencil!! It was so funny having to guess what he was drawing, since he couldnt see anything!!

We were really enjoying ourselves!!

Now it was Susis turn to make something out of the green string! And I was guessing like a crazy woman!! I look so stupid in this pic!!

The others were watching as well!!

So that was what we did yesterday!

I really was lookign forward to a sunny afternoon in the back yard with cold lemonade and brownies! I was looking forward to my friends and the good food!! I was looking forward to the fun we would have!!

Sometimes we have to stop looking for the perfect things!! It just frustrates you...
Sometimes the things that we dread, are not as bad as they may seem in the end!!
It just depends what you make of them!!

We really had a nice day... The rain gave us many good laughs!! Everytime it almost stopped and we went outside, it would start all over again!! Everytime it stopped and someone made a thankful comment about that, it would start all over again!!

We made the best of it!!
