We've had a busy three weeks and the time has flown ! ED received her Master's Degree on the 9th of June. We travelled with her to Athabasca to her Convocation which was lovely. The weather on the other hand was horrible. It teemed rain the whole day until we returned to the city ! Her idea of having 'Instagram Photos" with captions w as a hit !! She actually worked until she put her gown on ad then her staff had to take over .
When we returned to the city we took her out for supper at Red Lobster. It has been years since we've been there and the food was very, very good. I brought home enough for lunch the next day. A long, long day but so worth it.
We are so proud of her.
School has been busy, very busy. Some of the kids have had no focus or drive for a month and they are becomig hard ato deal with. It is amazing how some parents believe every single thing their children tell them and are ready to attack the adults who have dealt with them. One mother did admit that she had seen another side of her son and it wasn't pretty! Although I know right now, nothing will change with their parenting!
This weekend I have worked hard in the garden. YS and I built Hubby his rock garden. Even Hubby got into it ! I had already bought some rockery plants before we went grocery shopping so he was able to put them in. This morning I weeded the front gardens [ before 7 am ! ], then I weeded and cut the grass in the wild garden behind the fence. Everytime I passed that garden, I'd think I must get out into it, but lacked the energy to do it. Needless to say I am tired now ! The back garden is in the process of being ripped out. I am tired of it and the campanula has taken over. I want all that stripped out, leaving the hostas , daisies and delphiniums. then I will gradually add in non invasive perennials. The hardest part of gardening ow is that I have to limit myself with my knees. I used to be able to be out all day, but now havae to do it in small increments. I'll probabaly get it all done in time for Fall !
The first hexagon quilt is beginning to take shape. However I am already fiddling with the design of the next one ! Forotunately for me, I have been invigilating some provincial exams so have been able to do some handsewing while the kids write. My fingers are so needle pricked with a few thorns added so they are sore !!
The family is coming over for super. ES is cooking-- just hamburgers, corn on the cob, macaroni salad and veggies. We''ll be having birthday cake as we left our daughter's party with all the grandkids before cake was served. I bought a chocolate cake for the masses and lime cheesecake for ED and me :) We'll be eating early as Game of Thrones and Outlander is on !
Just 8 more days of school !!
