Looooong Weekend
Well it was definitly a long weekend this weekend. Friday night Tanya, Matt, Scott and I went bowling for the first time in like a year it was a lot of fun. I definitly needed a good night out like that.
Saturday afternoon I left for my parents place for the night. Jay and I went into the National Final Program, since Tim was going in and I'm not sure when I'll be seeing him again. It's been years since I've been to one of these programs and I must say I haven't missed it much. I've never been a big brass band fan, and I'm not really into these concert things. But I went anyway to take Jay and to see Tim. As it turns out I also saw quite a few of my "old" friends from the army days. I sat with my bro's and Ian Robinson who was a hoot through out the program.
After the program I ended up talking with Joel Ivany for a while, someone I haven't seen in years. It was acutally kind of funny to talk about the past and the old officers picnic's that we used to have to go to every year. Of course we got into some trouble at these things, Joel reminded me of how we used to break into the school behind the grace and steal cookies. It was kinda funny cause BJ Donais was there as well and all of us used to get into trouble whenever we had these officers things. Nothing beats officers camp though, those were halirous times!!! Matt Banks, Laura Robinson, Tim, Joel, BJ and myself. They were interesting weeks at Lac L'Achigan let me tell you.
It was kind of nice to see them all again and reconnect a little. It's always great to see people you haven't seen for years, see how they've grown, and how they've changed. And hope that they see the change in you as well.
Sunday after church Jay and I took off for Wonderland. It was awesome cause it was a drizzly day so the park was pretty empty, not to many people there at all. We didn't have to wait in line longer then 5 minutes for anything. It was awesome. Just as we were leaving it started to down pour, it looks like we picked the perfect day to go.
We got home in time to help Mom pick up the bread, and have Turkey dinner. It was nice cause Kim and Jeremy were home too, as a surprise to us all. Kim's car broke down just outside of Cambridge Saturday night when they were heading to Ottawa for Jeremy's cousin's wedding. Dad went and got them at 4am Sunday morning and they stayed the weekend. They finally got the car working yesterday and came back to my place for a few hours. We had brunch and had the neighbour Larry take a look at her car and find that it's her alternator. They made it back to Windsor okay, and I think she was taking the car in today to have it looked at.
All in all it was a good weekend. Sometimes I wish these weekends lasted longer just so I can get caught up on my sleep and spend more time with the family. There is never enough time when it comes to spending it with family. Especially Alyssa. That little girl is growing up so fast! And is she ever smart and full of vocabularly. She keeps us all pretty entertained. Espeically with her "leave me alone Papa" I won her a Care Bear at Wonderland which she loved, and I won Scott a Scooby Doo only to get home and give it to him to find out he wanted a Care Bear too. Can never win with that guy!!!
Last long weekend of the summer... what dose the winter hold instore I wonder... Hopefully it'll be much better then the summer that I've had. Hopefully no challenges, no touch decisions, no choices, no obsticals. Just a good relaxing, easy life.... Yeah right!
