Where did the last week go?

Let's see.....

Came home from Kayaking/Camping last Sunday and went through a full regular week of work waiting for the end as I knew I was going to be on holidays the following after. I hate working knowing holidays are coming up and the summer is coming to an end.

Mon. Aug 8 - Happy Birthday Jayna Parker!!! Sarah is still in Newfoundland. Monday comes and Monday evening comes and Tuesday is coming quicker and I know Saskatchewan is coming to town this week to play in Ottawa. Why has Mark not phoned me, does he not know that there is a ball game here this week???

Tues. Aug 9 - Sarah is still in Newfoundland. Ho hum, another day at work. I better phone Mark maybe he does not know there is a football game this week, nah, he would know! Oh my god...Did they enjoy their week camping with Andy and Tawna so much that both families ran off on 2 more weeks of alone time? Nah... They better be ok!

Wed. Aug 10 - Sarah is still in Newfoundland. The phone finally rang. "YES, let's go to the game tomorrow! Yeah, uh-huh, ok, that's great. We will pick tickets up there. Yeah, uh-huh, ok, see you then. Yes, it will be a great game! Your family? Oh yes, good, glad all are well and had a good vacation. Yes, the lower seating would be best, awesome, ciao!" Just kidding. I was truly glad to hear most of the Sweitzer's vacation went well.

Thurs. Aug 11 - My cousin, Lisa, had a baby boy at 6:20 p.m. Eight pounds 3 ounces, his name is Jacob James. Congrats to the family! Sarah is still in Newfoundland. Went to the football game, beautiful night for a game on Bank St. It was an exciting game, check it out here. Not much else.

Fri. Aug 12 - Sarah is still in Newfoundland. Head up to my father's after work to work on the new deck. Ok, will work on it tomorrow, as it is too late by the time we get there.

Sat. Aug 13 - Sarah is still in Newfoundland. Woke up, in my tent, went to the Hotel for breakfast then worked on the deck all day. We all (2 brothers and 1 father) critiqued, joked, and ridiculed each other all day, but the first half of the deck got done. Went to bed in my tent.

Sun. Aug 14 - Happy anniversary Jeff and Melanie Whiskin! Sarah is coming home today! Woke up, looked at the deck...Find a few errors. Leave to get Sarah at airport.......yeah!!!!! Drop off Sarah's stuff, feed lizard, head to Home Depot, and back to lake to finish weekend work. But when we get there people have left and work is done. So we relax and me and Sarah crash in the tent. As she wants to practice sleeping in it before we head out this coming Wednesday for 2 days of camping at Pleasure Park.

Mon. Aug 15 - Happy Anniversary Scott and Holly Parker! Spent the day lazing around the lake as it was just simply beautiful lazing weather. Got Todd up on the wakeboard, even with a sore back. Wrestled with a chipmunk with a peanut on a string. Tear down tent and collect wood and camping crap for this weeks small camping outing with Sarah.

So, that's a quick wrap on the past week.

We all want Rona to have fun in Scotland when she leaves this Thursday!

Looking forward to the Parker's shared birthday party this Sat. Aug. 20 at 3:00!

Unfortunatley, there are NO new pictures as I forgot to bring my camera (for the past week) with me.

Let's talk soon...
