It's all over but the...

So, it's all over now. Feeling good about this, but it won't really have sunk in until Tuesday because I'm still technically on a weekend. A long one (it's Canada Day), but a weekend nonetheless. In four sleeps we're off to Ontario. Can't wait to get there. My parents will be renewing their vows to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary. I'll probably be singing with Sara. It's kinda wierd to think of my parents doing that. They didn't seem like the type.

For the week there, the kids will be off to Day Camp - YES !! Even Zoë! YES!! YES!! YES!! They are all very excited about that - especially Zoë. It'll be her first time off alone like that. I'm sure she'll have a lot to tell us every day.

So, I'll try to keep up on what's what and what's happening over the holidays, even though nobody's reading this. It might just be fun to know.

P.S. I played the Strat at church again this week. Lots of people really liked it and encourage me to do even more lead stuff. Sounds good to me. For the second meeting, we had a full band. That was wonderful!! Bass, drums, piano, 3 singers, rythum and lead guitars!! WOW!! I'm going to have to practise a bit more to be really good and to put together some real arrangements. We'll keep you posted.

School's out for summer

My wife started this blog and never did anything to look after it, so I'm going to take it over and use it for my own devices. I hopw nobody ever sees it or reads it. I'll just keep it to myself.

School's almost out for the summer. I have 3 days left: one with a little work, one day of compensation which I'll probably spend putting up a clothes line and shoveling dirt at home and one day with meetings and the staff party.

The year was hard, as a year in teaching always is, but the summer will be great. It had better be because next year will be even harder, I think.

We're redoing the backyard right now. The pool's gone, the deck's gone. What I have to get going on is the dirt so we can seed so we can maybe have some grass soon. Then finishing the cement (gotta cut some off and add some on). Then doing a small deck and stairs. Still a lot of work. That'll be my day off (compensation) and Saturday.

I'm looking forward to going to Mom and Dad's next week. It'll be great to see them: I haven't since March break which started at the end of February. It'll also be great to see the kids at day camp. The boys have always loved that a lot. Zoë is going for the first time this year so that will give us some time with Mom and Dad and some time together.

I'm hoping to be able to go to the Montreal guitar show: http://www.salondeguitaredemontreal.ca/fiche_fr.aspx?expId=241 It would be a dream come true. So many wonderful instruments all together to try one after the other and compare. Fun fun fun!!

Well, off to work I go. Hi ho. Hi ho...
