It was quite mild yesterday, at least in the woods it was. But it turned cold again last night and this morning it's -15, but feeling more like -19. It's not going to get a lot better later on: -9 but will still feel like-16. BRRRR! But we DO know that spring is on the way - Brenda and I went out to Dalvay to ski yesterday as we had to try out her brand new skis! On our way around the trail, we saw a robin. So, it is coming - eventually, but you wouldn't know that this morning.
It was a busy weekend. First, we had pizza and beer at the VanGaals on Friday evening. (I think we may have a new Friday Feast tradition brewing). Then on Saturday after work, Lloyd met me in town and we went out to visit our friends Charles and Laura. They have a few sheep and all are due to give birth any time but one had her babies at the end of the week. She had twins and oh, my gosh they are so cute.
After spending the afternoon catching up with them, we headed home to spend a relaxing evening in front of the TV with something to eat. Sunday morning Lloyd was up bright and early so he could head off to Holton, Maine with our friend Richard. He needed a ride to go and pick up a car that he's purchased in the US. It was shipped to Maine, just across the border so the trip to pick it up was planned for Sunday. Bernie was a little bummed out that he couldn't have gone along but I'm not sure they'd let the three of them into the US if they were all together! They are a dangerous lot when left alone as a group. I haven't seen Lloyd yet this morning but he is home, so it looks like they had a safe trip. I was at the VanGaals for supper last night and The boys were on their way home when Richard called Bernie to get Lloyd's cell phone number, and then Lloyd called Bernie to get Richard's number. Good planning guys! Good thing Bernie keeps track of everyone.
And last, but certainly not least, a big congrats to James. He received a plaque last week that was meant to be given to him last year. He missed the event when they were handed out and I suppose it just got overlooked. He was chosen Best Drill Team Member for 2012-2013. Well done, James! Not that any of us are at all surprised. He is really doing well in Cadets and seems to really enjoy it.
His little brother Tristen, had a sleep over at the Scout camp on the weekend so I'm waiting to hear how that went. They are all growing up just way too fast!
