Long Weekend

We had another great long weekend - filled with lots of activities. It started on Friday night - Scott and the boys went out for Gary's stag, and Carole and I did our annual visit to the CNE.  I made a few purchases including a new flat iron and ....the Tobi Steamer.  I hate ironing and always wanted to buy the Tobi - and there it was at the CNE for a really great price!!  Can't wait to try it out!  

Early Saturday morning we drove up to Peterborough to play golf - I actually got to play with the boys - Bummer, Mark and Scott!!!  They needed a fourth, so I got the call!!  The course was in great shape except for some of the bad pin placements!  A great golf day overall - super hot and sunny!  I shot a 103.  After golf, we headed over to Gary and Jen's Jack & Jill - an afternoon celebration. For dinner, a bunch of us headed to Cosmic Charlies for dinner - then we went back to James and Chris' to continue the partying.

On Sunday, we went to a memorial service for our friend's dad.  He passed away earlier in the week - Jeff Nichols - owner of Nicolini's Restaurant in Peterborough.  It was a nice service - with a lot of people in attendance - everyone knew him!  Our friend Ang gave a beautiful and heartwarming tribute to her dad.  Needless to say I did a lot of crying...and I think I heard some sniffling from Scott too.  The reverend who performed the service made a very important point about "remembering" someone - he said that remembering is about connecting with others and encouraged everyone to continue connecting with each other.  Something that I am going to try to make part of my life.  After the memorial, Scott and I squeezed in a round of golf - another glorious day for golf!!  We were joined by 2 other members - Steve and Don.  I had a better round shooting a 97. 

Well, the last long weekend of the summer has come and gone...summer is sadly coming to an end.  The kiddies are back to school, it's frosh week at UofT right now - classes start up next Monday.  One more month til Scott and I are off to China for our 3 week tour!  I am so looking forward to it!
