Another Sunday, another posting.
So, this is what I have been up to this week.
In addition to everthing else, I am tring to finish the Religion Specialist AQ. I am having a hard time with it. One more week to go. This is going to be the death of me. I am sure.

Have volunteered to coach softball, something I know nothing about. But I want to be outside and this is a great way to do so. Made one practice this week. As we were busy putting the finishing touches on Mulit-Cultural Night a bi-annual event. It was another success. Not as great as the first one, but fun just the same.

Saw Lisa on Tuesday as she picked up a job teaching at my school. It is great to see her. She is such a peach.

We also celebrated the third anniversary of Dad's passing. Can't believe that it has been so long. We had mass for him on Wednesday at the school. It is nice to have the chapel there.

After being at school until late on Thursday night, I awoke at 4am and watched the funeral. And then battled a half day which turns into a long day at school.

Saturday we celebrated Grandpa's birthday with lots of food and goodies. He wanted 86 649 tickets as his present. He got them but only managed to win $20 and a handful of free tickets. I then went to the Wine and Cheese show with the girls. Which was truly a good time. Sarah called and was bombareded with people talking to her on the phone. We desperatl wanted her to come home, but with her starting her new job we knew that it would be selfish of us to ask her to come all the way home. She would have been exhausted and that would not be fair to her.

One tragedy, I went to the "Rinse station" to rinse my glass, and leaned over only to have m beautiful knock off Gucci glasses that I loved dearly, jump out of my shirt and fall into the bin full of rinsed and dumped wine. No I did not try to retrieve them, but I was truly heart broken. Karen bless her soul offered to go elbow deep and fish around for them. I did say no. Nothing is worth an elbow deep of sludge. And then there was the almost incident with the Fire Fighter. That thank God I managed to avoid.

Saw my friend Sue as we competed at the Breathalizor station. Haven't seen her in forever. She is such a happy girl. Love her to bits. Breathalizor, that was quite fun.
We went for dinner and then a few more drinks until we called it a night before midnight.

Had an early start to the day as I had to develop some pictures and wanted to get it done before the crowds started to throng.

I bought my fab neighbours a new bench for their front lawn. Theirs broke in the fall when their buddy sat on it and fell through it. They are so helpful that I wanted them to have a great place to sit.

And as the weather is soooooooo nice today we all caught up on things that have happened over the winter. I accidentaly last summer started friday night cocktail hour, and the ladies (bless them and their motherly ways) are anxious for them to start again. They have purchased citronella candles and are read to go. Think that I will make us al wine glasses for the occasion. I read somewhere that you can put stickers onto glasses to personalize them. Sounds like something that I might like to do.

Lorina emailed me today, and invited me to play Poker with Jenn and Mandy on Friday night. Me and the three married ladies. But I better learn to play Texas Hold'em quickly.

This afternoon I have been struggling to mark some long overdue papers, only motivated by the fact that they are turning in more articles tomorrow.

And the y key on m keyboard seems to be acting up.

Until next week.
