Miscellaneous Past Events

Well to start the Medieval Times was great! We had so much fun! It ended up being Jamie-Lee, Derek, Jamie’s sister and brother. I can’t wait to go again! Our red knight was cute, though in the end he fought to his death.

Saturday I went to the Leacock Sidewalk Sale in downtown Orillia with Heather as Margaret Atwood was in town for a book signing. I was pretty excited! I got her newest book of poetry, “The Tent”, signed, as well as “The Journals of Susanna Moodie” which she wrote and was illustrated by Charles Pachter who was also at the book signing so that one I got signed by both.


It poured so we didn’t do much shopping at the sidewalk sale, just went for soup at “The Soup Factory” (I love the place!) and then headed home. That evening I went over to Jamie-Lee’s and helped her make Derek’s birthday cake.

Monday night I went over to my sister’s after work to help her finish getting ready for their trip (they went to Germany for two weeks). The come home at the start of next week, and I can’t wait. I miss the boys! I’m making Ty a special race car cake for dinner on the day they come back. I called him on my lunch hour today, he’s so cute! He was telling me all about the boat they went on today and asking me what the surprise was when I told him I was making something special for dinner on Tuesday for him.

Friday night I went to see “Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby” with Heather and Al and then we went back to her place and had a bonfire, enjoyed some drinks, some Scotland chat and stayed up until 6am. I stayed up a few hours longer talking with her Mom who got up as we were going to bed, then I went in and slept for a few hours. Saturday we took Al to Gravenhurst to show him all that he’s not missing and went to Boston Pizza for lunch. I picked up Asili and we took the dogs to Couchiching Park. Sunday I slept and rested.

Yesterday I went to Rotary Mega Bingo with Jamie-Lee in Bracebridge. We had a lot of fun though we didn’t win anything. And I met Jamie at a plaza in town and when I pulled in she was talking to someone. It was our friend Ann-Marie from high school. Don’t think I’ve seen her since high school. She’s married and has an 18month old named Jacob who is so adorable! Huge smile! So we planned to all meet up soon.

There was so much more that happened between my last entry and this one, but I can’t remember. Meh, not really in a writing mood either, so I’ll leave it at that for tonight.
