Monday, May 15th 8:30pm
Starbucks , Metcalfe and Slater
I know this may be a little later than most would like to go out for a cup of coffee. But, it will be a great evening. One of our favorite authors will be in town to promote her newest books and will only have an opportunity to meet with us on Monday evening. Ann will be coming in around 8pm, so I thought I would suggest 8:30, which could give you enough time to get your kids tucked in bed and make it out for a cup of decaf. You could always arrive a bit early and get a couple of chapters of your latest book in before Ann arrives.
Hope to see you there!
The end of our visit is almost near, but we have had a really great time. Another visit to a farm yesterday led me to ask “How many adults do we need to take a toddler to a farm?”. The answer was four, Opa, Hubby, A and myself.
“J” is stocked up and ready to go. He has another new bike. The first one wasn’t quite right so Opa decided this one was much better. He loves it that’s for sure, all it is missing is a cup holder for Mom and we would be all set.
We also took a trip to the Science museum, “A” & “J” had lots of fun running through the Nortel tunnels and bouncing in the playroom. I was sitting watching all the families at the museum and was wondering if one day any of those kids will actually be hanging around with “J”. There were also quite a few cute little girls, which made me think, anyone of those could end up being a girlfriend for “J”. You just never know.
“J” and I are taking a trip!! We are packing our suitcases (which are sitting on hold at Winners as I type) and heading to Regina! Now, hold onto your hats, Regina may not be the most exciting stop on the World tour, but it does have 5 very important things. My Sister, Brother-in-Law, two Neices and a Nephew. This will be our first big trip without Hubby and it will be the longest Hubby and I have been apart since we have been together (that is 11 years, folks!) I hope we can make it.
I have been to Regina before, but never for this long. The good thing is that there is lots to do with kids. Due to their usually harsh winters and sometimes scorching summers, there are many places geared towards bringing your kids to get them out and about. I am very excited to see some of the places my sister has talked about as well as perhaps MooseJaw. I stopped there once on a bus ride to Banff, apparently they have some awesome hotsprings. Thank goodness, my sister just had a baby and I won’t feel bad about being a little jiggly in a bathing suit. But, will be working on it starting today.
So May is turning out to be a very fun filled month for me, I only hope that June, July and August prove to be just as exciting!
And no luck with Opa yet, but am working on a second fall visit. The bug is planted.
