43 Years and Counting

43 years ago  we were married in my home church. Wow, it seems not that long ago, but 43 years is a long time - a life time ! It has not always been easy - unemployment, illnesses, drama , but this hass been our life.. We have four children and three grandchildren that make everything worth it. 

Nothing special is planned; in fact my plan is for leftovers for supper ! Tomorrow is Canada Day and our daughter has a big party and there are fireworks and lots of food to eat. So today we will tackle weeds, some fertilizing of plants and planning for camping.

I took my Personal Day for the last day of school. I didn't have to sit through a staff meeting and then go to someone's house to have a ' make your own bunwich'. The whole time everyone is there, everyone is wondering when they can leave. Instead I sewed, we did some grocery shopping, picked up sone plants and two blueberry bushes which all were on sale. We came home and Hubby mowed the lawn and then we ploanted the new purchases. I was able to pick up three new perrenials for the back garden and some more ageratum to put in the fr ont beds. They were so dry !! It looks like they have picked up with a good watering. The yard, flower beds and vegetable gardens are looking good. As soon as I finish this, I will water and fertilize the vertical planter.

YGS did very well in school this year, a report card filled with exemplaries !! Tonight is his last night of baseball which he has just loved. And good on my two sons who coached. The egg donor now owes $ 23 808 plus interet and penalties. No word of course which suits us all just fine !

We are taking him camping along with ED to William Switzer Park. As it is so close to Jasper we will make a couple of day trips into the national park. It was fun to see Jasper on Amazing Race Canada as we know the park so well. We might even take YGS up the Sky Tram ! It will all depend on the weather. Hubby altered the upper bunk and make a removable rail so the boy will be safe up on that narrow upper bunk ! 

I am still plodding along  with my hexagons. Later next week I will pick up some wool to work on my stocking order. Knitting will also give my poor pricked fingers a break ! 

well they are calling for storms soon, so I'd best get out and get the vertical planter done.
