Nice trip down in the sunshine with Silky and made it to the ferry by 4:45...minimal lineups and right onto the five ferry. Of course, it was only four days after the fairs were hiked back up! The kids and kidlets were so happy to see me...makes your heart go pitter patter! I am sure that Maddie has grown a full six inches since fall and Kaleigh is slimming out and really looking like a full fledged teenager...I have already inheirited a pair of her runners that she doesn't like... We have the same large sized feet...a little scary...since mine weren't this long at her age, but I think she came upon it honestly! Both girls played the piano for me... and they already sound so professional! Brings me to tears when I hear them! We had a busy Sunday with a birthday party for Maddie's 11th birthday. Her friends came over and helped decorate the dining room in balloons and fancy tablecloth and placecards...and guess what? Of all the girls here, three were named MAddie! Different spellings, because some were Madisons, but they all get called Maddi in one way or the other. That was pretty cute! The kids all went with their dad and mom down for a go at the climbing wall for a couple of hours and then followed it up back at the house with pizza and two flavours of cake...chocolate and yummy lemon. Sonia and MAddie were the lemon lovers,as was Kaleigh...and myself...Say no more ...a half cake of lemon was all gone at the end of the party!
While the kids were out climbing, I found some time to work out in Sonia's flower-bed, trimming back some vines and dead heads and will try to get back out this afternoon to do a little more. I now have gardening gloves, thus it will be a little easier on the hands ! Sonia is working, so I did driving to school and will pick up MAddie and then get dinner ready for when Sonia comes home.
Annette is off work today and has a million things to do. I will go with her to drop off some stuff to the Sally Ann and pick up her food basket that she won at a silent auction...Yum... sounds delicious already! The weather is supposed to go back up to 16* ! Yea! I will go back out for more gardening fun!
Hope you are all having a brilliant day!
