Happy Canada Day
What a whirlwind few weeks it has been since I last posted. We hosted our annual Canada Day Party and Washer Toss tournament with our biggest crowds yet. 16 teams of doubles plus many others who didn't play in the tournament. New additions this year to the event were Nancy & Alan who had never been to our house, Donna & Jack, Chris & Aislinn and kids and a few of Cheryl's knitting crowd as well.
Bob & Wade beat Vicki & I in the final of the tournament again this year to reclaim the green jackets.
We also hosted a Wartman family jam on July 7th which turned out amazing. Lots of good music and food and we filmed much of the day so that it can be passed down to the next generation. I am hoping to compile the entire series of video clips and have it ready for everyone for Christmas. Olivia was a big help for this with her great video skills and probing questions. The video should turn out well.
I took some time off and just spent some time by myself at home doing some cleaning including cleaning out the barn which was a big chore. Thank god for the van as I took one massive load of garbage to the dump.
On July 14, we had a mini-reunion in Summerside with Kilby, Randy & Jamie, Randy Burrows and Cynthia and Ross. It was nice to connect with everyone but it is really interesting to see the different directions we all headed since high school.
The rest of the summer will be busy as I will be acting Manager for 5 weeks and will be off for a week and a half which will take us to the end of the summer.
Dan & Vicki are having a good summer. We hardly see Dan as he is in Georgetown all week and only home on weekends. Vicki is learning the pitfalls of being middle management having to deal with both her boss and the staff at the Cornwall pool.
