The First Weekend

Well the first weekend of summer just ended. We went camping with Rick and Clair, Tracy and Jason and the kids. It was alot of fun. We went to a lake out at Hope and it was really nice they had a great set-up for the kids, little trails, playgrounds, lakeside the whole bit. The weather co-operated for the most part as well a little bit of rain on Sat. and rain at about bed time on Sun. The kids diddn't seem to mind they just played in the rain and they all played together really well. We even went swimming both days the water was a bit cold but my freak children jumped right in.

If that's the way the summer is going to start I thnk it's going to be a great summer.

Hey Hey Hey

I pulled my toenail out. As I wrote last week I did in my toe.... well the toenail came most of the way off so I helped it along a bit and ended up pulling the whole thing out. It does feel better though.

Well Prince George flooded yesterday. I heard that the day of reckoning for us in the 28 of May that's how long it will take the Fraser to flow from PG to Chilliwack. A friend of ours out here told me that this is where they brought the cattle for the big flood of '48 so we should be safe but we have an evac plan just incase.

Works going good. I'm starting to get my place in there. I was out on my own all this week some of the guys were impressed I diddn't totally suck and when I had a small problem with my truck I was able to deal with it myself. They all know I've done this for years but I guess they are "the proff is in the pudding kind of guys". Monday I start working on the roads dept. (that's where they put the garbagemen when they have a few to many). I'm looking forward to it, I've never done road work before I have no idea what they may have me do it should be fun.

that's it for now

oh crap and other stuff

Well as I said before my first day was on Monday. It was great but the guy I was working with drove like an idiot. For the first time in 12 years I got thrown from the truck. I put my foot out to stop my face from hitting the road and promptly put the nail of my big toe into the steel plate in my boot. Now I think I broke my toe!!! It's been feeling worse and worse but the pain today was unbelievable. I can't wait until tomorrow!!

in other news......

That friend I spoke of before seems to be coming out of their funk. I don't know what snapped them out of it but it seems to be doing the trick. It's nice to see them back again.

Sadie has decided to try out for the talent show at school. She is going to sing!!! When I asked her what song she is going to do she said, "I don't know". Lorna then informed me she was "practicing" an original composition. As I have said before she is the toughest kid I know!

until next time..
