Just a little bragging here. Carolyn's Silver Medal Crew at the recent North American School Boys Championships at Henley got a little write-up

Nick's and Matt's Grad

It's been a while since my last post. No real good reason for the absence but we'll try to change that.

Nick graduated on June 19 from Grade 8. I can't believe he's going to high school. Paddy now will be the last remaining at Canadian Martyrs. More pics

Long Lost Memories of Les Miz

If you have been following the Susan Boyle storyline that I started on the my last entry, you will understand why I have been lost in the listening of the wonderful music from the Les Miserables musical on my computer. The music brought back fond memories when Julie and I saw the production live when it first came to Toronto. Now how long ago was that? Pre-kids I suppose. If I recall correctly, we went with Morgan and Francis (thanks!) who, I believe, both bought the tickets for us ... anniversary present?

Now to come think of it, we also saw the Phantom as well ... what happened to that cultured couple?

Listen to This

I heard about this lady named Susan Boyle on the news and decided to Google her. It led me to a You Tube video link and it was quite inspiring to learn and hear about her. Here's the link to her You Tube video ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY

Yard Work

The weather has been terrific, sunny days but a little on the cool side. Friday was spent dethatching the lawn, fertilizing it and then pumping the water off the tarp and scooping the leaves - what a stink! All I can say is, "My aching back."

This morning, I took Mom to the bank to take care of her banking needs and all is good. I also visited Mom early this week and took care of her cell phone. Apparently her phone wasn't working. She ran out of minutes so it's topped up now until Apr. 2010. 

Hope all is well with everyone. Have a great Easter Sunday.
