Where does the time go?
It seems like just yesterday and I was wishing the snow would disappear so I could open the trailer. Well, the trailer is open, and although we have had some weird weather on weekends for the last few weekends, the last weekend was great! (American Memorial Weekend - wife works for an American company so we got 3 days at the trailer - as opposed to the May 24 weekend that she only had the two days). Lots of sun, weather actually pretty decent in temperature and several great meals to boot - who could ask for anything more?

The question about time not only applies to the trailer, but also to our personal life. Again it seems like just yesterday that we were saying our "I do's" in front of the minister and this past weekend we celebrated our 40th anniversary. WOW! Hard to believe that Gail has put up with me for this long. Granted, there have been a few rocky patches in the road over the years, but through it all, the underlying love and understanding is what has gotten us through it all. Not sure if we will make another 40 years (after all, I am getting older lol) but will give it the old college try.

My oldest daughter was up at her trailer on the weekend as well and invited us for dinner. She had done up potatoes, steak, salad and a large cake for dessert. In addition, some beautiful cards from all the kids and family, a mini-statuette for our trailer of a boy and girl under an umbrella and we also got a diamond shaped crystal with the #40 engraved in it. Again, to all - many thanks. Unfortunately, our youngest daughter seems to have forgotten our anniversary all together - not a card or note or phone call or anything. Oh well, not surprised - just very disappointed, but enough about that. Not going to dwell on it - been this way for too many years to count.

Now that the half decent weather has arrived, I am sure looking forward to spending a lot more time at the trailer. Funny how I feel so much more relaxed there than I do otherwise - must be something in the air? Anyways, I may even get around to power cleaning the deck soon too, as winter has left it's usual grime and crap all over it. Will have to sit back with my coffee and think about that - after all, it is called "work" lol. Don't want to start any bad habits now, do we?

Anyhoo, not much else to mention at present, so with that, will leave this for now ..........


Grandpa out .........
