Highlights

So my computer is working for the time being!! But I’m not at all convinced that it will stay working! It has supposedly been fixed quite a few times already!! Now for a few of the exciting things that have been going on:

Morris Stampede – Morris, our home town, is the home of Manitoba’s only Professional Rodeo, so that week Morris is always swarming with people and action! Kelly and I worked on the ambulance at the Stampede every evening, so we got front row seats! Always love that! But makes wish all over again for my own horse! Someday!!

Mom and Wayne Visited – Mom and Wayne came for a very short visit, but we got lots of stuff done! Kenora, fishing, boating, a little hiking, and then back to Morris to where they got to come visit us at Farmer’s Market and see what a busy market is like!! Mom and I shopped after market and Kelly and Wayne went to Cabela’s and not sure what all else. Sunday we went to the park with my East Gate family for lunch and in the evening we went to our ‘family’ here to sit around the fire with friends. And Monday…. They left, after another meal and Mongo’s Grill that is! J Wayne really enjoyed that place. Think we’ll be able to get them up here just by mentioning Mongo’s! lol We had a great time, hope they did too!

Kenora – The last week of July, Kelly was gone on a business trip so I headed to Kenora to be with his family. Brian and Katie and little Eli where there too. (Katie and I were in the unit together and she lived with Kelly’s family) You just can’t beat old friends! Mikey and Tiff brought Kelly out on the weekend since they were spending the long weekend at her Uncle’s cabin. So on Saturday Brian’s and Us took the boat to another lake and spent the whole day fishing! Was so much fun and such clear lake! You could actually watch the fish chase down the hook! And by the way, I caught the biggest one! Not bad for someone who used to not be able to even catch a fish in the Florida catfish ponds! Ha, Ha! Anyways, had a very good fish supper! The rest of the weekend we just did more of the same! Very relaxing!

Tamarack Island – The first week of August I spent at Tamarack Island Wilderness Lodge (check it out) cooking for fishermen! Dad owns part of the fishing camp so we get to go cook when folks order the ‘All American’ Package! Danielle and Jess were there to help too. Had lots of fun and the guys were a jolly bunch so that always makes for some good laughs. The only bad thing was that it was very cold!! I am NOT ready for summer to be over with yet!

So there are some of the highlights…. Hopefully I can keep up to date now, but like I said, Who Knows!
