Ruth Chris!!!

I was on course in Edmonton... for a couple of days staying at the Sutten... and on Tuesday...I was treated to the most AMAZING supper!!! at Ruth Chris.. I would recommend it to anyone!!!! the food is like no other... started with crab stuffed mushrooms... followed by Chicken w/ Madagascar peppercorn sauce, asparagus w/ holindaise sauce, garlic stuffed potato's and potato's Au gratin!! along with some wine... finshed by a blueberry tea!!! I was so stuffed I could barely move!!! the absolute best... the decor was awesome.... very famous people eat there.. and the only famous person I seen was Chanelle...THANK YOU AGAIN!!!!

Last day of school.. can you believe it!!! I am most excited for the fact that I don't have to make lunches any more!!! The kids are off to the big egg @ Veg.. to have lunch and a swim... (can you believe my oldest is going into Jr high


Ma and Pa are coming out for a visit...should be good... the last time they were here was Thanksgiving..

Klondike Kate!!!

I am constantly working, as most of you know, on my genealogy!!! just one of my favorite past times... When at our annual family golf tourney.. my sister-in-law... wanted to know when I was chosen as "Klondike Kate".... gotta love the 80's

Family Golf Tourney!!!

Had a fabulous weekend... Oma and Opa..made there way out on Friday... and of course, we had some social drinks.. followed by HOT weather... cleaning.. and visiting...gotta love that Oma...

We had about 15 in for a family fun golf tourney... or should I say a "wet" golf tourney... well.. you gotta swing when the opportunity presents itself.. so needless to say we had 3 dry holes out of 9.. but still had a good time... and the best part was the comment's I received when I cracked a drive at the 9th hole..and the ball landed right in line with there drives...One of the comments I heard was "get back in the kitchen"....

The food was amazing...and was all preppared when I got off the course... I only had to clean the kitchen...

Happy B-Day to my beautiful 10 yr old...

My girl is 10!!! can you beleive it... I love that she is still so excited to get gifts.. so excited that she started counting down the # of days..about.. 10 days ago... and she loves her ipod... She opened her gifts early as dad is away on course this week.... but.. before she went to bed last night we loaded the sims game, all her Drumheller pictures and a few songs onto her ipod... luckily she still went to bed at a decent hour!!! Tonight we have plans to have a friend over for supper and plan her party..

The weekend was great!!! soccer was fun.. the kids play excellent and the camping was even better!!!! nothing beats sitting around an open BBQ and drinking a few cocktails... (what ever happened to the days when you could have a fire.. and not to mention deal with the dangers of roasting marshmallow and dropping them on your couzin's feet... to watch it stick and blister...(see.. I'm still having nightmares of such))

T played his last hockey match.. and had a wind up.. we were also pleased to have a special couzin show up (her foot has since healed...may years later.. hopefully the scare is also gone)

Not sure why.. but I started a herbal cleanze today.. I should probably wait until after hotdog season... but we'll see how long I last!!! no sugar.. not yeast.. and not dairy.. and yes NO bread!! can I survive... I'm not sure.. is hotdog a protein???

Weekend

Off to Millet for J's soccer tourney... it's supposed to rain all weekend...how much fun will that be??? We're taking the trailer.. along with a couple others.. so it'll be fun..

Dad's golfing in a Golden Bear's Golf tourney today...hopefully he stays out of trouble this year..

T's last game and wind-up tomorrow...what will I do????

J went to Drumheller on a field trip today..

Had a great time!! and she got home at 7:00pm... Wel this is the last weekend for Hockey and Soccer.. ask me how excited I am.. what am I going to do with all my free time??? weed the garden??? not..... Clean the house??? not... but I'm sure something will keep me busy...

Kidlins...

T - Gets braces

After a busy weekend in Airdrie... we headed to the city today to get braces.... oh.. my.. talk about bringing back memories... and for some reason I had a huge "flash-back" when the lady brought out the WAX... (that is used if your braces are irritating or maybe the braces have cut the inside of your cheek).... not sure if Big "C" had the same "flash-back" when her daughter got braces...oh..ya.. probably not.. her cheeks didn't get cut up... JUST KIDDING!!! I still love ya!!!

Now.. about the weekend.. everyone should have a weekend without their husband.. since dad had to work...I headed to Airdrie on my own. Without Wilderness at our side made the weekend very very busy but VERY RELAXING!!! .... It was a great tourney.. we had very close games and the competition was excellent...a bad tourney for Wilderness to miss... especially since his boy got a hat trick and scored 3 out of the 5 goals Friday night.... with the game ending in a tie...I wasn't able to make it for that particular game but had play by play commentary via cell phone...while I was on my way...

Now... J had a great weekend.. in the pool and on the water slide every minute possible...she would rather swim than shop!!!! good for the pocket book!!!

Went for a walk tonight... the first one since our run... still have an ache leg.. hoping it gets better with rest!!! I am going to try to have a personal goal of running at least 2X's/week with a distance of 10-12Km/week and walking and riding my bike when ever possible...

The count down begins to summer holiday's..........and NO MORE LUNCHES!!!! Last week the seniors made lunches (a fund raiser for them) but... I think I would pay them every day to make my kid's lunches!!!

Pictures are on their way!!! Prommis!!!

Pictures of our 10K run!!!

Silly Willy Brings a Hawk!!!

Get home from the soccer game and there is a Hawk on my front lawn!!!! can you believe it!!!! then.. W has to point out that he couldn't hold down his supper and there were regurgitated mouse feet/legs on my front lawn.... He.. can't see the harm...in doing an "act of kindness" for mother nature!!!!

Wasn't able to get my hair cut yesterday after a long anticipated appointment... dad had to work (so-called work) past quiting time!!!!! re booked for the 19th.... should be nicely streaked with grey highlights by then!!!

Planted my garden finally... g-ma would be disappointed... by time is of the essence... .. and now leaving it to mother nature.. to produce the rest!!

Official time 1:10:38....

Proud as PUNCH and still on cloud NINE

We did IT!!! & Happy 40th Sis...

My sis turned 40 today and I ran my 10K run... not sure who's feeling worse!!!

There was about 3000 other participants... fantastic feeling...the adrenaline was very high!!!!

I kept saying to my friends, they better be ready at the finish line.. because my goal was not to finish last.. and should push come to shove.. I was planning on tripping them at the end.. but.. we finished far before the last runner... We haven't gotten our official time.. but it was better than I expected... I felt strong throughout the whole race... It was quite and experience.. emotions were running very high at the finish line (and a few tears were shed.. throughout the race...as well..) and I must say!!! I am so very proud of my friends... and very honored to have them as my running partners!!!!

I will keep you posted on our official time.. once is posted via runningroom.ca....

T had a fabulous game as well, scoring 2 of the 3 goals... I think he was out to impress his Uncle Sward!!!!

J went to dad's company picnic today and had a lot of fun!!! and of course she loves to hang at Channel's
