November 21, 2011 and I have finally stepped into the world of
blogging. I hope you will find my posts interesting. I am sure they
will develop over time. Right now, I don't really know what to
say!
We had a beautiful weekend here in Shelburne: crystal blue skies, 14 degrees C and windy.
Saturday was a busy day. We had a farewell breakfast at the Lower Ohio
Hall for friends, Phil and Rita who are going to Australia and the UK for 3
months. Lucky them! When we arrived the boys were thrilled to see
the model train display. It took all of their self-control and some
gentle reminding for them not to grab the engines. I had to explain
that when men play with trains they are NOT toys. My youngest, who is 5 could not understand that.
After breakfast the boys and I went on the Shop Shelburne Christmas Crawl and then out to the Christmas Bazaar and bake sale in Ingomar,
where Santa arrived on a fire engine. The kids had a visit with
Santa. S asked for Band Aids and M
asked for a gun. Not really sure why
they would want those things. The Band
Aid request was pretty weird. In the
afternoon we went for a walk around Island’s Provincial Park where we collected
sticks and pine cones for a Christmas craft.
Saturday Night a group of us went bowling at Swansburg bowling lanes in Shelburne
to celebrate all the November birthdays.
I am a consistently terrible bowler, so I was really happy with 130 for
the first game. It took all of my effort
and concentration to make 100 on the 2nd game. More practice that’s what I need.
