Erie

Sarah and Ali came over to our new house for the whole long weekend and helped Barb paint and take down wallpaper. 

Meanwhile, I drove to Erie Pennsylvania to watch a ball tournament.  On the way home on Sunday night, I was driving up the QEW from Niagara Falls and was watching lightning flashing in the sky on the Northern horizon.  I realized that I was heading into a major thunder storm.

I got up Highway 6 to the 401 before I got hit by the thunder storm.  It rained so hard I could barely see the road ahead on me.  Many cars pulled over.  The ones that were driving were driving very slowly with their flashers on.  I didn’t even know where the button for the flashers was in my car.  I punched a number of button and finally the flashers came on.  The rain stopped just about where I was to exit the 401 to get to Kitchener. 

I got back on Sunday night of a long weekend, but even though we had a holiday, Barb was sick of painting and we just drove home on Monday.
