Loved your blog today, sounds like you are having fun. Not much new around here. Bob is coming home Monday so getting his room ready. Went out for dinner tonight with a couple of girls I used to work with. We eat at the Cactus Club in the NE, very tasty. Work is going good - lots to learn but really enjoying it.
Love

Sounds like you are into some terrific weather and really enjoying yourselves. Good on you! Hope you are taking a lot of photos and that we get to see some posted soon.
If the weather holds for this weekend, I will be heading out to the campground (Willow may come for one night, Carol will be in Winnipeg). The Motters and Howells may also be coming out.
