July already!

I can hardly believe that I have not written on my blog for so many weeks!
To catch up...well, Canada Day has come and gone. We spent a weekend at the Golden Spike Swim meet to volunteer with the Port Moody Aquarians just for old times' sake. It was fun in a way. I did leave earlier on the Saturday because I had a Cantonese Opera Concert at Glen Pine to oversee that night.
The Cantonese Opera night was a success - the Great Room was packed with over 100 people and it was like being in a Hong Kong variety show. Hot water...I cannot believe how much hot water jeannie, heather and I were pouring out. It was fun because we had helga with us too cutting and plating the wraps and making the fruit tarts.
Darcy and Speedo left for the lake on Canada Day to get Caiti settled in as she was starting her Grand Forks hospital stint. Guess there are some big projects to get done as well.
Chrissy and I spent the week on our own.
On Thursday, it was my turn to get my hair done so Chrissy could get some marks for cutting and styling during friends and family week.It was actually fun going downtown and getting the full salon treatment. I posted my pics on facebook in an album called Hair by Christina. First I had a shampoo, cut and a straight style and then it was on to the the Farrah Fawcett curls which were very nicely done! This photo of the curls before they were styled out. Those curling irons are amazing that she owns. Her entire bag of tools travel with her and so she can do hair anywhere. She has alrwady made an offer to volunteer her time and services next grad to any girls unable to afford to get their hair done in the morning of grad with Ms. Tsui if it is required.

Then this week, I was also found by my Grade 6 friends...and it brought back a flood of memories that had remained dormant for 34 years. The old class photo made me smile and it was such a thrill. So, today, the sunshine is back and I have a summer sizzle Hawaiian Luau dance tonight to run at Glen Pine so its working tonight.
