After taking 5 short holidays since October, I am happy to be in Saskatoon, on the ground, for a few months. My latest getaway was to Cancun for a week at an all inclusive. I thought Spring Break was in late March. I was wrong. I saw things that you wouldn't believe. Luckily, senior citizens like me were housed in the upper floors with the crazies below, but you could still hear people yelling in the hallways at all hours of the night. All kidding aside, the week was great. There was only one torrential rain on the last night of my stay, but there was sunshine through most of the days. The routine was coffee on the balcony at 7, walk on the beach at 8, breakfast at 9, pool time from 10-4:30, shower and change, walk the hotel zone from 5-6, then dinner at one of the a la cart restaurants. To finish the day, back to the balcony to observe the goings on.
Hats off to my wonderful neighbors who shovelled my driveway. On the day that I went to Mexico in January, Saskatoon received 15 cm of snow. The day I left for Cancun marked the beginning of the snowiest weekend of the winter. So while I sat in a hammock in Cancun, my neighbors worked like beavers to shovel my driveway again. The shame I feel is unbearable.
The excitement around the birth of my first grandchild (Peanut, as he/she is being affectionately named) is mounting. Mary continues to have a healthy pregnancy. Mary and Morgan have the crib set up and Mary has all her ducks in a row as you expect from any daughter of Judy.
Haley is enjoying the course work in her master's program. She should be finished her masters by Christmas.
I am back to being a full time athlete. Hockey will be continuing to the end of April. Although I hate to wish my life away, I can hardly wait for summer when I can play ball, golf, bike, kayak, and hike.
