Had some great news about our eldest granddaughter, Keari. She had applied to the University of Toronto, York University and Trent University and was accepted at all three!!! WAY TO GO KEARI - WE ARE EXTREMELY PROUD OF YOU !
Our oldest grandchildren - Keari and Jessie
Now she has to determine which one best suits her needs for what she wants to do - I think it is Early Childhood Education that she is interested in and they all have good programs, but she is very particular, so will have to sit down and decide which one to go to. My wife is still working and enjoying her job, which is a good thing .... really don't need her grumpy and ticked off lol. And yes, before anyone asks, I am doing the "house husband" routine; you know, laundry, etc etc. Guess that serves me right for retiring - and here I thought that once I retired, I could relax at the trailer all day and go pick her up at the end of the day. NOT !
Speaking of the trailer, we are both looking forward to a great summer there. Hopefully the weather cooperates a little more than last year. It was so crappy weather-wise last year, we really didn't get to enjoy it as much as we normally do. At least we only live 15 minutes away, so if the weather turns nasty, we can always go home lol. After all, if we are going to be cooped up inside, better at the townhouse where we have some room, than in the trailer. I also get to put up a new gazebo this year - the one we had finally rusted out and collapsed over the winter so we went out and got a new one on sale. Same size, but it looks a little sturdier.
Talk about blasts from the past. We had some very good friends that we met at the trailer park years ago and got to know quite well. Well, they moved out west to B.C. about 5 years or so ago and we lost touch with them, as they moved and we didn't have the forwarding address. Well, I was on Facebook (yes, I fill some of my time in on the computer lol) the other day and lo and behold, but what should appear? A suggestion for a friend with the same name as our friends. When I clicked on their profile, it was the same people ! Talk about coincidences, karma, whatever. Needless to say, I sent a message and as a result we have gotten back in touch with them and are in the midst of catching up on goings-on over the intervening years. We still miss them being at the park - we used to have some good times visiting each other (our trailers were only 50 feet apart).
Well, not much else I can think of to say at present. If all things go well with the weather, I probably won't be back on until the fall, when we close up. So with that, I will sign off for now. Have a safe and happy summer and we will see you later ...................
Grandpa out ......
