Sunny Long Weekend

I will be the first to admit I miss the snow, and we probably won't see any of the white stuff for 3 more years. Still, when you get the kind of day we had on Friday in the middle of February, it kind of offsets it a little bit. Very warm, even for here, so we packed up the crew and went off to the boating lake (i.e. duck pond) for a picnic. On our return, a good nap gave us the energy we needed to mow the lawn! (Actually, Laura did that). We miss Grandpa's lawn mowing effort's that's for sure... Yesterday Miah was looknig out the window at our neighbour across the way mowing the lawn and was saying "Grandpa! I miss Grandpa..."



It is really easy to get outside, which is nice when you are carting a 2 month old around. Tomorrow we will head off to the Eden Project... it was once a decrepid strip mine, but has been converted to a series of bio-domes with flora from all around the globe.

In other news, we have some Canadian's who will be up to see us in May, and we are really look forward to that! Uncle Clay, Aunty Ev and the whole crew will be putting on some serious miles to see us (please bring some Clam juice, rye, KD, etc..:). Should be a good time, and whether it is warm enough or not, Clay and I will have to go do a bit of surfing. Or, we could alternatively rent "Point Break" and drink a few beers... either way I am happy. It will be great for the cousins to see each other again... it will almost have been a year at that time.

Oh yes. Something also very new for us here in Cornwall. Music. Nice Music. The type of music that reaches into the depths of your childhood soul and makes you want to dance, but especially run. Run and chase. Chase the....... ice cream truck! That's right, the ice cream truck. Coming to a neighbourhood near me, every day. I am guessing the Ottawa ice cream truck business would be very jealous.

Hope this finds you all well. M
