Seriously - we've been spending lots of time up there. I've gotten my turnaround time between coming home from work and pulling out of the driveway for the lake to about 20 minutes ... all I need to do is throw some clothes in a bag and grab a few things from the fridge.
I've got a long weekend coming up, and then two weeks before summer vacation. I'm really looking forward to the break from work. I'm not enjoying my job much these days, and it's not just because I wish I was at the trailer. Oh well, this too shall pass.

The boy is done school. He was Master of Ceremonies at his Grade 8 grad last week. Pictures to come ... haven't uploaded them yet. High school in September! Wow!
.
The girl is taking a summer class at university ... she was thinking she might pick English as a minor, but now she's thinking maybe French. She did amazing in her first year, by the way ... A+'s and A's.

In the ongoing saga of whether to buy a 2nd boat or not, happy to report that the husband bought a 14 foot aluminum with a 9.9 motor yesterday. Because having just one boat is like having just one pair of shoes. It's do-able, but it isn't much fun.

I survived my week at Ivey School of Business - surprisingly, despite my questionable attitude about whether I really needed this training, I learned a lot and actually feel like I understand the raison d'etre of my department a bit better. And I didn't gain any weight despite the amazing food served buffet-style.
.
Speaking of weight, I've started going back to Weight Watchers just to keep an eye on things, and sister M has been tagging along ... she's done great, lost 10 pounds already, which pretty much dries up my source of amazing hand-me-downs ... guess she won't be giving away any more of her clothes :o(
.
Speaking of sister M, she is working in China this week, interpreting for the Governor General's husband ... that's kind of cool!
.
Wishing you all a happy Canada Day ... I hope you were able to make the holiday into a 4-day weekend (I did!) ... and that you have lots of fun. Thanks for dropping by (and for not entirely giving up on me).

Ciao!
