Thank you for the beautiful sunny skies and the warmth although it was a little too hot yesterday but today it is perfect!
Started out the long weekend with a good 1.5 hour walk with Speedo first thing in the morning. Did my first College Park and Glenayre look for this first time in ages. Got home and Darcy was just getting out of bed. We went for lunch and some small Chinese Restaurant and it was so MSG-laden we were suffering all afternoon. Went to Uprising bread to get bread and then off to T & T for chinese groceries. For good karma we donated to the China earthquake fund.
This was going to be an extremely busy aftergrad workload day. I had made up the Grand Prize Draw tickets and all the numbers on labels for all the prizes that needed to be organized, wrapped and listed with values. I also sent to printing those little draw tickets that had to be cut up and that was the most tedious job ever. I brought home the skookum paper-cutter from work and that was a godsend. Anyway, Sharon was hosting a worker-bee for the prizes and this was the best opportunity to collate the full list that Nadine wanted me to send to Anne Fabbi this weekend for the gaming license to run the casino games.
Anyway...started at 5pm and did not quit until 11:00 p.m. Had a very quick dinner break as Darcy and Tino BBQed for everyone. It was intense and by the time all was cleaned up and we headed home by midnight. In value just over $17, 300 to give away and 116 little jars for the kids to stuff with those little tickets. I am glad its the last time I do this but already Andre has already asked me to help out when his turn comes.
This morning...was going to go for a walk but then we got side-tracked so I did my window-box gardening and Darcy is cleaning Walter and fixing for him to get sold..he needs to go...must go. Darcy invited Ryan and Robbie over for BBQ - chicken. Chrissy works at Bosleys a full day today but we really have not seen too much of her this past week.
Anyway...off to enjoy more of outside...glad we still have tomorrow off as I haven't tackled laundry yet for this week!!!
