St. Helen's erupted. Like most pregnant women I used the bathroom often. The moment of the eruption coincided with one of my many toilet flushes and the resounding boom made me think the plumbing had burst! Imagine all the way to Vancouver. The result was a few hours of "false" labour, followed by the real thing a week later and Andrea Rebecca was born. About 18 years later, I hiked to the top of the crater which was an intense physical workout leading to a breathtaking view. Andrea celebrates her 30th birthday this week.

Mother's Day should be everyday... :) Anyways, the volcano blew up on Canada's Victoria Day long weekend. We were camping up at Pitt Lake, British Columbia on the beach and heard the blasts numerous times. Not sure what it was at first, other than wondering if the mountains surrounding us was going to crash onto us. Scary! We found out later that Mount St Helens exploded from the other people that returned up to the lake. Erie feeling though, especially when our dog was barking and was going nuts moments before 'we' heard the loud blasts. Animals with better hearing give us humans a warning too. :) Mother’s Day was the week before on May 11th.

I do remember it well. We were all loading into the car on Mother's Day in Surrey. Even that far away we knew something big had happened. You even shared info on this post that I had not formerly known. Very interesting overall. Thanks. Oh Rebecca, you have written a wonderful remembrance of the MSH’s eruption. I do remember it well.
