Yes, we have been on the road again. This time it was a one week trip to Newfoundland. The weather was cool, rainy and foggy. This made it hard to keep a sunny attitude towards The Rock, hence the reason to say home at last after such a short time. To give an idea of [...]

Of course, when you’re retired any day can be like Friday. But Friday is special because of our favourite gym class. I call it the Triple because it is three half hours, each with a different focus… aerobics with light weights, arms and abs, and flexible strength. It’s great and we regulars look forward to [...]
Tired…

I didn’t get to the gym today for pump class because Mike and I decided to go golfing. We just did nine at one of the very hilly local courses. Parts of my game were quite improved but my chipping and putting were definitely not among them. Mike had a good game with some great [...]

After step class and tea with the ladies some of ventured into the mall. Danier Leather was having a half price sale that we had to check out. Although I didn’t buy anything it was fun to help the others select items. No names given to protect the spenders… … one of our [...]

Yes, it’s Tuesday which is ladies league golf day. My first nine was not too great but after a brief stop for lunch and for the rain to pass over, Susan and I went out for another nine in which we both cut six strokes off our morning score. We were pleased with that of [...]

Not much to report today. After a brief workout I made my first visit to a digital photo lab to print about four months worth of photos. I decided to try this instead of the slow route of printing them a few at a time on my own. Now I have a pile ready for [...]

We spent a fairly quiet day gardening and having Mum over for dinner. Yesterday was busier for me with workout, tea with the ladies and a scrapbook crop in the evening with Elizabeth. Mike’s Dad was also over for a special lunch yesterday in lieu of a Father’s Day outing.

… but only for the season. Tonight was the last of our QFA films until the fall. It was a members only showing of the Canadian film, “Breakfast With Scot”. We thoroughly enjoyed the movie which was thoughtful, funny, uplifting and definitely Canadian… a great way to end the season. Everyone also enjoyed the catered [...]

The ladies’ league golf game was cut short today when the horn sounded to signal us off the course because of thunder. We hadn’t yet finished the fourth hole. After we dryed out over coffee in the clubhouse the weather had cleared and Susan and some of the others went back out to do nine [...]

We saw the new Indiana Jones movie last week and he had a reprise of his “I hate snakes” line from the earlier movies. Mike and I had cause to borrow his line this weekend while we were off visiting. We were greeted by our host who was trying to get his daughter’s black corn [...]
