May Day Weekend (Apr. 26 - May 3, 2015)

Apr. 27 - May 4, 2015

This past week has gone so fast! I spent the week, getting myself back to reality. A challenge to say the least, but all is going well. I got my taxes done, a Condo Board Meeting finished, and then up to Collingwood to have a great evening and weekend with Julia, Shelley, Sheila and Scott. 

We all met up at Julia’s on Saturday. We saw her lovely house, and all the progress she made on the house since I last saw it. There has been so much done to it, and it is looking so incredibly swanky and nearing the finish line. Scott has done most of it himself and it is the best work, cleanest lines, and precision craftsmanship that you could ever desire.

They still have some minor finishing things to do, but it’s amazing, and super comfy. It’s also really big with the high ceilings and open concept. I love it and am so happy that they are finally able to live in the house, and begin to enjoy all the labours of love and frustration. Well done guys.

Anyway, we made some delicious food, hung out in the back yard while the sun shone, then built a fire when it got dark and chilly. A lovely afternoon and evening. We didn’t go to bed too late, as everyone was already tired. We missed having Rachel, Sandra and Wendy up too, but somehow the date and planning didn’t go right, and we messed up on their calendars. Anyway, we will do it again soon, and be sure that everyone is free to come!

Happy today!

Shelley and Sheila stayed over on Saturday night, then left after breakfast on Sunday. I hung around until Tuesday morning, with Scott and Julia. It was so nice to catch up with her. It’s been so long since I’ve seen her, and it felt good to see that she is doing well and moving forward after the year of heartache that she’s had. 


So, that’s what I have been up to since getting back,…….was it just a week ago???? Wow, it seems longer, yet shorter. I’m not really adjusted yet. It’s nice to be in familiar territory though.
