Time flies...

Hi there,

It's been a while since I blogged. I was going to put something here simply to say 'Hi', and that I'm still around, and that there hasn't been much to blog about lately. But then I stop and think about the things I've been doing instead of blogging and I suddenly have blog-worthy tidbits. Depending on who you are.

1. End of the kid's school years - Derek's slugging through Grade 11 exams right now, with no real plans for the summer except to get away from school for a while. Janet's graduating Grade 8 on Monday. There's a whole blog to be done on the excess related to celebrating Grade 8 Graduations but I'll leave that blog for others. Suffice it to say we've spent the $8 trillion on the outfit and other gear necessary to be allowed out of grade school. She'll look fantastic. Pics in a future blog, I promise.

2. New vehicle - The Windstar just rolled past 250,000 kms and is showing signs of wear. We want to go away (somewhere, sometime) this summer, so a new van is in order. Voila, a 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan with 33,000 kms.

3. Work - I don't want to spend my blog time & space on this subject, but it must be said that both Cath & I spend 8 hours a day there, and more emotion than we really should.

4. Summer!! - Mowing, weeding, pool cleaning, bicycling, house fix-ups, etc, etc, etc. I don't know where it all goes, but it sure seems to trickle away.

5. Volleyball - Every Tuesday night. Sand ball. Mostly with the same team of people as throughout the rest of the year. Excellent!

6. Music - Church choir, practices, and the final Lug-A-Mug of the 05-06 season. (This pic must be from late in the evening. I need a good night's sleep!) It seems like there's a lot of music in my life, but it also seems like it's never enough.






So I think that's about it since the last post. Stay tuned. Hopefully the next one will be more satisfying for both of us.
