Could it really be the 14th of June? The calendar says it is, so I guess I shouldn't be so shocked! There is loads to catch up on so I'll get started!
Many people have asked how the first day of the farmer's market went. Well, between the torrential downpour, the gale force winds and the hour-long episode of hail, Dee and I managed to have a ball! We sold a few pieces and made our money back for the table for the summer. We bailed early though because we were just so bloody cold! Hail at the end of May.... good grief!!
The poor weather continued into June (and has been crappy to average up to yesterday - what would we Canadians do if we couldn't bitch and moan about the weather!!!). I had to head to Kingston for some meetings for a couple of days that first week, so Erin and Gord were on their own. Erin got to help Gord pull the trap machine at skeet shooting that week and got to eat at McDonald's so it was a good time for her!!
Friday was Gord's day to be in Kingston as he met with his surgeon again for a check up on his heel. The doctor said the heel bone is stronger than it was before his fall (I imagine the steel plate and 9 screws help the strength a little!!) and he doesn't have to go back to see him until January. It still frustrates him to not have the range of motion he would like to have, but I keep reminding him of how far he's come in such a short time. After all, it's been less than 6 months since his fall. It's pretty amazing that he's walking as well as he is.
That same Friday, Erin was dropped off and picked up by Richinda and the girls had a royal time of fun, as they always do. The fun turned into dinner and a sleepover much to Erin's delight!! Mind you I had to pick her up early the next day for gymnastics, but she didn't seem to mind too much after a night of fun!
Gymnastics has continued to go really well. I can't believe how much Erin enjoys it! The coaches are really good, so that helps. I think Erin wants to continue into the summer session and she's hoping another one of her buddies comes with her, but either way I think she still wants to go! Later that Saturday, we decided to fire up the pool heater and invited Emma and Erika over for a swim. We had the whole lot of them over for dinner as well, because frankly, we need to enjoy the nice days when we get them! (there goes the weather complainer in me again!!)
The second farmer's market day was only mildly better than the first. The steady downpour of rain kept people away, but we were happy to munch on cinnamon rolls and samosas from the market! Erin came with us and although she was pretty bored by times, she was really good and just enjoys being out with the girls!
The week that just passed felt so busy, but there was really nothing out of the ordinary that we did. Yesterday was Erin's last gymnastics session for the spring. The summer session starts in July. She was absolutely bouncing off the wall so we called the girls next door to see if they wanted to come over for a swim. Emma was at guide camp this weekend, but Erika was a willing participant! The girls worked off some energy and tormented Gord in the pool for a while before Erika had to go!
Today Erin and I made blueberry and strawberry scones, and Erin made blueberry jam - yes grampa, we are saving a jar for you!!! We will be leaving shortly for our first sunny market day! Yeah!!!!! Hopefully things go smoother this weekend!
So, not much is up this week, but next weekend will be busy with Sparks camp. That should be fun! We are back on Father's day, and grampa is coming! Monday the 22nd is Erin's graduation, so he is coming down for that!
Have a great week!!!
