May 23

Over the last two weeks, I had the chance to spend. a lot of time with my Luv Bug.  Mary had rehearsal for Evita on May 14, so I had Luv for the evening.  On May 14, Luv had a sleepover at Grandpa's place.  I attended Evita on May 15.  The performance was excellent.  Unless you have seen a Fireside production, you cannot comprehend the professionalism of the Fireside singers.  The talent level is second to none, in my opinion.  Morgan was in Lloydminster for a practicum; therefore, Mary and Luvisa came to the lake with me for the long weekend.  Mary and I opened up the trailer and set up the site for a summer of lake time.  Haley and Dustin opened up their cabin on the long weekend too.  We had some quality family time.  This week was on Tuesday and Thursday with hockey sandwiched between on Wednesday.  I also slipped in two very long bike rides in this week.  Last night, we had the 3rd Annual Saskwest Teacher's Association get together.  My buddy, Rick Gosselin and I organize the get together.  We invite everyone who was associated with the former Saskatoon West School Division.  The gathering is a good time to catch up and reminisce with old colleagues.   Summer is here.  I am enjoying my happy place on the deck in my backyard.  The flower pots are full of annuals.  The bird feeder is busy with 10-20 varieties of songbirds.  Yes, life is good.
