June.... half way already?















Well, Kaylyn headed out this morning on her class trip. They are camping for 5 days up near Orillia. Her Girl Guides have taught her a lot, I think she will have a blast. I just wish it taught her how to pack lighter! She always has at least 2 bags! She was very excited. I told her to take tons of pictures. These are the memories! I still remember our class trip to Ottawa. The pictures help, but man, it was like it was yesterday!

Emma's soccer game on Saturday went well. They tied the game 2-2. It was so hot, just sitting there cheering them on we were sweating! Crazy hot! The kids did great though! Emma, Scott and later on the day Kaylyn went swimming at the coaches house (his is a friend of ours as well). I got to go back to bed. Work, work, work!

Kaylyn had a couple of babysitting jobs over the weekend. She was happy to make a couple of dollars to take with her on their class trip. She is a really good kid. It amazes me how well she works with the little ones! She has filled out the application to apply for volunteering at the YMCA for some hours. She needs 40 by the end of high school, but I think she will have them by the end of the year!

Scott's birthday is this Wednesday. Emma and I are going to take Grandma Bishop shopping tomorrow to find something for him. Emma says she will make something special at school for him just like she did for me!

I got the walk way to the front door done this past week. Wow, it looks great! I didn't realize how much it would make the front door pop! I am impressed with myself! Lol! Now, just to get the garage door painted..... it's always something!

June to Start
















Wow, keeping busy doing everything, time flies! I have started the front pathway to the house. It was delayed a week from having to locate the mold to make the cement stones. I looks great! I am half way done, but it looks great! My father helped make (well, I helped him) a cement step to the house. Our house settled over the past years, leaving a large almost 12 inch step. Well, not anymore! The gardens are coming along to. I pulled everything that decided this year they weren't coming back and planted some more perennials. Filled in some spots with annuals, just for Emma to have to pick!
I have started my second course in ASL (Sign Language). It's great! I have found out that the course I want has a prerequisite as of this fall making it a 4 year course. This September is full, but I will see what I can do. If not I will make sure all the ducks are in a row for next September! I am still enjoying it fully!
Kaylyn has her class trip next week. They are going camping for 5 days. Girl Guides has taught her well. She will be fine! She graduates this month. Man is she excited! 2 weeks and a day, but who's counting!
Emma's soccer team has won both their games. She had a goal the first game, but because she was inside the goalies crease it didn't count. We still celebrated it! This past weekend she got an assist. She gets better every time!
Next week Scott is heading to Ellicottville for a golf tournament with work. Oh, the perks of work! Next weekend we are invited to 3 birthday parties celebrating their 40th! Crazy week ahead!
I am back to working 4 days a week again this week. Last week I had a busy week between household chores and building things, I had a visit for the afternoon from Debra! It was great to have lunch and have an afternoon in Port Dalhousie. Hopefully I can head back home to visit everyone soon.
