911 Again!

What is it with the men in my house and calling 911...? We have this old phone in the kitchen, Graham pressed one of the buttons on it that holds a preprogrammed number...well, guess which number is preprogrammed in...yes, that's right, 911! They called back and he answered and told them it was an accident but of course, they still have to send someone to the house to make sure he's okay. He was in a panic, so he told his sister and then I pulled in from work and he told me so we waiting for the RCMP. The officer was great, she explained that he was not in trouble that she just wanted to check on him and to tell him not to be afraid to call 911 should he need it. The drama that is my life!!

On the weekend we went to Risser's beach with the Ross family. It was the most spectacular beach day, the sun was shining, the waves were awesome, the company was great...only problem was the temperature of the water...holy freaking cold!! I have never been swimming in water that cold! It was that painful type of entry into the water, the type that goes right into the bones and takes your breath away! David Ross thinks they used to take prisoners to Risser's to throw them in as a form of punishment! Perhaps we will try warmer water elsewhere...the hint should have been the wetsuits on the lifeguards. Mike and I have decided we are no longer packing a big cooler to listen to : "can you get me this" "can you pass me that"...each person will get a cooler pack and be responsible for what they put in it (it will have to pass the mother inspection) and they will have to carry it.

Sunday was soccer. Graham has his last soccer of the year, he scored a couple of goals and had lots of fun.

Now it's back to baseball. Apparently we may be having two double headers this weekend that were not scheduled...as the lady who runs the canteen, from buying stuff to packing to loading the car to running it to unloading it, I am not thrilled!

Mike left for PEI yesterday, he is in charge of the food service for the Canada Games...good thing we are not there with him because he is full out until they get this thing going. We are heading over on the 22nd to meet him and spend a few days there.

My husband is 40!!

My husband turned 40 on Saturday...that's right, I am married to an old man!! Just kidding honey, you're still the 20 something I first met in my eyes. We had a lovely dinner out, just the two of us, we went to the Port Pub in Port Williams. Poor Mike had to work on his birthday, two wedding to cook for and another one on Sunday. I think he was feeling his 40 years last night after working all weekend. Happy Birthday!!
