Ya'll doing ok? Everyone happy, healthy, wealthy? :)

My son graduates high school in two weeks. I'm feeling both thrilled and old! I am sure I only just graduated myself a few years ago.. so much time could not have possibly gone by..could it?

I have a ton of relatives coming in for his graduation and I have to do things like deep clean the house, shop, prepare a ton of food, make sure all the sheets, blankets, pillowcases and towels are cleaned, and give the dogs a bath :).

Cringe!!!!

I dont know where to start..today all I managed to do was recaulk the bathtub and put up a new shower curtain liner and I was exhausted after that alone. (hate removing the old caulk..but I love putting that pretty shiney new white caulk in)

Ah well..if not for relatives coming to visit this kind of stuff would probably never get done :)

Glad to see everyone still pops in and posts and stays in touch. I still stop in to read this and tb2k almost daily. Not sure why I stopped posting..guess I just burned out on it. I just dont care anymore about anything that goes on in the world..but I find I'm much happier that way (sheep = good) But I still have my K.I. just in case hehehe.. I send hugs to all of you. :)

Congratulations on your graduation ..... (I know he did it, but you're the one that probably worked harder ....)

Our graduation stuff was a week ago, but one year early!

(Jean got done with HS early by finishing her senior year course at the local college, and so now has 41 hours towards a physics degree. The local HS district paid for her tuition, but we had to pay for the books..... Almost 750.00 worth in the two semesters.....)

Yaaaaaayyyyy!

Hi, Kritter! Hope all goes smoothly with your son's grad. Good for him and good for you!

Robert, look at it this way, you'd have had to spend that money on books anyway, and you've saved yourself a year of tuition!

My life is complex at the moment. I've applied for several day jobs, had a few interviews and was quite hopeful after the last one, the interview went very well. However, it's been a week and a half, and I haven't heard a word although they promised to let me know within a week. Perhaps I came in second and they're waiting to confirm with their first choice, or perhaps the mail is just that slow... Working nights is starting to wear very much on my health, so I'm getting more anxious to find a position that is not more than half nights. I hope not to have to go back to doing general duty RT work, but have decided that if nothing else comes up before September, I'll bite the bullet and do just that.

Family life - Carla is wanting to go on a student exchange to Japan next year, but it isn't looking hopeful. She's in grade 12 next year, so it might affect her graduation timing. I'm sure it would be worth it, if it works out. Miriam is doing really well at school and thoroughly enjoying her experience with band. The senior band at that school (in which Carla plays the bassoon) won silver at a national level competition. This is very impressive in a high school of only about 130; they do draw from the junior highs in the same school, but the whole school is less than 500, and the junior highs will have had only a couple of years using their instruments. Mim also enjoys gymnastics, and partook in a gymfest for Western Canada in BC on our May long weekend (the week before your Memorial Day weekend).

Best of all, right now - spring has finally sprung! Despite snow and cold right up to the 20th of May, the trees are now green and many bushes are loaded with blossoms. I pray for rain daily, we are still having a severe drought, and Alberta has had it's largest forest fire ever this month - currently it is about two and a half times the size of New York City. It's not anywhere near here, but we've had smaller ones that have struck near by. On your Memorial Day weekend, I went to Banff for a conference. Although the mountains are always beautiful, spring had not yet broken through, and being in the tail end of winter this late in the year was almost depressing.

I hope all the lurkers here are well, and the posters, too!
