Raining Here

Today is a rainy day here. Ron says he loves to hear the rain beating on the skylight.
The only skylight we have is in the main bath. Both of our office rooms are adjacent to that bathroom hallway, so we are able to hear the rain hitting the skylight when we are on our computers. It is pretty neat I must confess.

We just had some unexpected guests! Ron's sister Ann and her hubby Rich stopped by on their brand new Goldwing motorcycle. Boy is it ever a beauty! It is so good to see them again. We ride together a lot. I just love them both. She is this tiny little thing. He is this BIG Italian. They've been married over 25 years. She has worked for Boeing for years. This tiny little gal works on big jetliners! He seems to change jobs throughout the years. He was a manager in a Casino awhile back. Now, he is studying welding and doing construction work. I always figured him for a salesman, tho.....he is sooo full of shit! They have had no children together. He has a daughter from a former marriage, however. Ann has never had any kids. They are on their way home from Winthrop which is just on the other side of the North Cascade Pass. Seems they spent the weekend in a motel by a river over there.

They stayed long enough to dry out, rest up a bit, and watch part of the football game with us. The Seattle Seahawks are playing the Arizona Cardinals in Arizona today. So far the Hawks are losing. Not good.

The rain has not let up, but they headed home anyways. They have to go clear to Whidby Island so they have a 2 hr. ride in the rain ahead of them. I hope they arrive safe and sound. At least it is not a downpour. No one likes to ride in a downpour. Ann says they have heated seats to help keep them warm. Talk about spoiled rotten!!
