let the summer begin...

No more lunches.. no more alarm clocks... school has finally finished and I am proud to say I now have a grade 8r and 6r... I also have 5 days off with not a lot of plans... so.... maybe off to the city tomorrow.. maybe sleeping in.. whatever it is it's gonna be good.

I'm Back...

Well after numerous complaints... I thought I better get something posted...

It's obvious.. that I have neglected my obligation to keep the family informed.. so here it goes..

Dad..is gone... up to Fort Vermilion to assist with his parents in preparing for their auction sale... Dad... I think is sad.. after may years... this is one chapter he has to partially close... Our trips to the north will not end, but our sleeps in the "shack" likely will... Oma.. would always make us feel like we were on our honeymoon.. cause she kept the kids in the house.. and Dad and I got to sleep in the "shack".. of course.. I was paranoid of the bears and mice.. so I would always have to wait til the weeee hours of the morning (til Dad was done playing cards) to go to bed and by then.. I was too tired... and when my head hit the pillow I was out.!!!! Sorry DAD!!! LOL

While DAD was away... we headed to Saskatchewan... and had some good laughs and chats... the "Thiessen" gang were not home.. they were out "branding" which is WAY more fun than seeing "auntie."

My nefews and niece... are growing... and growing.. soon my niece will drive..she's already hit the "boyfriend stage" (she drove my truck today.. and did a pretty good job)

... if you can believe it she's almost as cute as auntie was!!! HAHA

My nefew's are about a thin as one of my legs... (mustn't be much for food in Saskatcheewan????) one is taller than me... but that doesn't take much..

Today.. was the hottest day of 2009.. and well I'm red... but will be white come the morning (that's right.. it will not turn into a tan!!! you others that experience the same... know what I'm talking about..)

Mid May... I took over the Branch Manager position.. that has a few new/more challenges... but I think I'm going to enjoy the change... (Only now I have to watch my "P's & "Q's"... which most of you know is harder for me than the average)

Golfing..Golfing... Love it... wish I could do it everyday.. sometimes I try... but my mother duties interupt.. I think the hubby is getting nervous.... as my drives.. are getting longer and longer (this may be a direct result of my weight gain... when you use all your weight.. and your hips..the ball seems to fly)

One last thing...
Most of our friends have been praying for Cec... and I'm happy to say.. "to my beleif" our prayers have been getting answered, he doing well.. can not wait to see him... we need to continue to pray.. as there is a long road ahead..
