Keeping Busy


I dropped by Dave and Sharon's new place on Wednesday evening to help paint. A MOST enjoyable evening, being useful, singing along with well-chosen Cd's and enjoying a fine burger. The plumber-guys came to remove the old tub from the bathroom being renovated. It was a 1949 vintage unit that weighed 3,123,232E+ pounds. (I may be exaggerating, but it took three very sweaty guys to get it downstairs and outside). ... It was the least I could do, to observe and criticize. :)

The evening was capped with a glass of scotch, and a bicycle ride home along the lake. (i.e. Through the fish flies). Boy did I sleep well Wednesday night!

Art in the Park, and more!


What a great, full weekend. It started out Friday night with a Roast the Rector event. Fr. Kevin was dealt many blows by our fellow parishioners, but came away smiling and looking like he could have taken more. :)

On Saturday Janet, Cathey and I went to Art In The Park, to participate in presentations being done throughout Willistead Park by the Windsor Folk Society. The heat & sun really took it's toll afterwards, but I really had a great time, as always, singing with Dave Light.

After an afternoon nap, my cousin Peggy came for a visit Saturday evening. We talked for a couple of really enjoyable hours. She'll soon be moving soon, and I'm really going to miss our infrequent but invaluable get-togethers.

At coffee hour after church today I got the guitars out with Christian and Bob and we played most of our East Coast repertoire for the folks having cookies. That was followed by a great brunch with Jane Cornett and her Mom, and Fr. Kevin and his wife Catherinanne.

The rest of the afternoon/evening is a blurr...
- I talked with my sister Mary, planning our vacation to B.C. this summer,
- Janet's boyfriend Keith came for a visit (and wouldn't get out of the pool even though he was chattering from the cold),
- Ami brought Sage over for an overnight visit, because Ami has to work at 5:00 a.m!! - Cath's Uncle Andy called from Dallas, TX. He made me commit to updating my blog... Here it is!!! :)
- Derek came home around 9:00 p.m. for the first time in 3 days. He was exhausted after three sun-filled days with his girlfriend, going to Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio one day, helping her through a midnight to 8:00 a.m. shift at Tim Horton's, and enjoying family visiting from Quebec.

So now I'm trying to type quietly, and reflect on a full, wonderful weekend and some of the good people in it. Especially Cathey. I don't deserve her, and she surely does not deserve me!

And now I think it's time for a good night's sleep.
