Happy July and Happy belated Canada Day!
The week that just passed was one full of fun and one that sucked. It sucked because I found out definitively that I will be losing my job by the end of the year. Not much I can do about it, but take my time and find something else fun to do that's close to home. I'm not overly worried at this point. I'm sure something will turn up when the time is right.
Well away from the crappy stuff......
This was a short week for us as Canada Day interjected a holiday in the middle of the week for everyone, and Erin and I took the opportunity to make a long, long weekend of it by taking Thursday and Friday off as well! Canada was spectacular! Dee and I spent the afternoon at the Canada Day celebrations in Oxford Mills selling our fabulous glass jewelry!! We actually had a great day! The weather was wonderful to boot! Gord and Erin took in some of the Canada celebrations in Merrickville, did lunch, and had ice cream! Fun! When I got home, Erin and I jumped into the pool for a couple of hours to cool off and enjoy the evening while Gord went skeet shooting for a bit.
Thursday and Friday were both pretty rainy days, but Erin and I did some running around in preparation for the bbq we were hosting on the weekend (today in fact!). Our nephew John spent the night with us Friday and was a big help getting stuff ready on Saturday morning.
We had a great day! The weather cooperated with us in terms of not raining, but boy oh boy, was it ever cool! Imagine, wearing fleece jackets in July! Crazy! It certainly didn't deter the kids who had a blast in the pool! Of course Gord heated the pool to 90 degrees F, so it's no wonder the kids stayed in for much of the day! We had some good food, drinks, and lots of laughs. The sun finally decided to show up late in the afternoon. At that point we decided to move the party to the back of the house where Gord started a bonfire. We broke out the marshmallows and everyone made s'mores! The mosquitos finally broke up the party around 10pm, and Erin crashed about 30 seconds after the last of the group headed home for the night!
Not too much is planned for tomorrow. Gord's sister Allison came down for the bbq, and will christen her new shot gun at the skeet shooting club tomorrow. I think Erin and I will join Richinda and the girls for breakfast in the morning, and Erin may join them for church. I'll finish cleaning up the house and get ready for the market. Allison is joining us for dinner later in the day to help us finish up leftovers from today!
The week will start up again and I'll be back to work and Erin back to daycare. One nice thing is that I'll be back to working 4-day weeks through the summer, so Erin and I will be off Fridays again starting this coming week. Yeah!!!
Anyway, I am falling asleep so I'll sign off.
