Ball, ball, and more ball. I'm having a good summer. Last week, I spent three days at the lake...kayaking, golfing, bocce, pickle ball, and walking.
Today, I had a new experience. I entered in a 60 plus track and field meet. I ran the 200m and the 50m. I won both races, but I am thinking the competition had a few years on me. But let's just say I was going up against the best senior citizen runners in Saskatoon. Based on wardrobe alone, I was the underdog. My competition wore spike and had the shorty shorts from The Running Room. I had Walmart runners, a "wife beater", and basketball shorts, but I looked good in a casual sort of way.
The 200m was a load. The trick is to leave enough in your tank to keep the pedal to the metal in the last 100m. Whew! My next event is on Thursday when I run the 100m. I'm sure you will be reading about the race in the paper.

July 7
Slacking off again...
This is what I have been up to.
1. I continue to play two games a ball every week. The home rums keep rolling, but they have been the inside the park variety.
2. On Father's Day, the girls and I went kayaking at Hopies Lake near Memorial Lake. We spent a wonderful day together beginning with coffee and Bailley's on the deck followed by kayaking and a dinner at The Lark Restaurant in Shell Lake.
3. On June10 weekend, I went golfing at Waskesiu with three good buddies including my family doctor.
4. On the long weekend, I spent Friday and Saturday at the lake with Mary and Morgan. On Sunday, I went to Haley and Dustin's new lake site at Blackstrap Lake.
5. I have been getting in a few rounds of golf, bike rides, pickle ball, and walks along the river.
6. On June 29, I went to Tisdale to deliver an Apple Picture Book to my mom. The book is an album of pictures from the family reunion we had on May 13. My mom said, "I just couldn't believe the how wonderful the family reunion could be. It was like I was in a dream!" I am sure she has already been through the book a 1000 times and I know she has shown the book to most of the residents in her high rise. We took Mom out for lunch and went for a drive to McKague to tour the grave yard where my maternal great grandparents were born. Great day.
7. This weekend I am babysitting my grand dogs while Haley and Dustin go to the Rider game in Regina.
8. In June, Mom's brother who we visited in April passed away in an Edmonton nursing home. He was 92. Mom is grateful she got to see him before he died. The weekend we visited him was the last two days he was lucid enough to carry on a conversation. Seeing their tearful farewell will always be a treasured moment for me.
