Sunday was our first really noisy thunderstorm of the year. A huge clap of thunder woke some of us up from our afternoon nap. The rain that fell was very welcome, however it was spotty. My rain gauge measured nearly an inch, while others got only slight showers. Smoke from northern fires is with us most of the time.
Eileen and Keith Evans enjoyed having their whole family home for the weekend: Karen and Brian Sjoberg, Brooke, Nicole and Paige from Vernon, B.C.; Kathy and Chris Jacobs, Kaitlyn, Evan and Cole from Salmon Arm, B.C.; John and Calynda Evans, Logan and Charlotte from Calgary, Alta.; and Joanne and Ben Rowlinson and Emma from Kelowna, B.C.
Also present were Eileen's brother, Donald's family from Ontario. Unfortunately Donald and his wife Mary-Anne were not able to be there.
Besides enjoying a weekend together, the family invited many neighbours for Sunday's evening meal. You can imagine all the visiting that went on. The afternoon thundershower settled the dust and eventually cooled off the air which helped make the visiting more pleasant.
