Friday is here and the weather is warm. It looked like a storm was going to roll through the city, but it seems to have made a detour around this time.
Dropped the son off at soccer coaching this morning. Then I ran into work on cards. Got quite alot accomplished. Did both stores and then picked up Claire and we had lunch meeting at Earls. Had this terrific salad. I've been trying to convince Claire to come camping with us next weekend!!!!!! I'll keep my fingers crossed.
While we were visiting, I received a phone call on my cell. I went to answer it and I must have had a little bit too much momentum as when I flipped open my phone (it's an old one), the top went flying off. Now the "logical person" in me realized it was broke, but the "optimistical person" in me still tried to talk on a dead two piece phone. So if I missed anyone's call and it seems I hung up on you - Sorry. I probably will be cell phone less for a few days. Good for me, bad for my son. (he's already texted his sister twice to phone me with messages; he texts better than he talks apparently)
Came home after lunch and cleaned up a little. Not sure why there was so much to clean up considering I wasn't home all day. The daughter was just getting up. I think she had already been up and out braiding horses. Honestly didn't hear a thing last night.
So picked the son up from coaching and ran home so he could change. Then it was off to a soccer BBQ in Bowness Park. I offered to help cook the burgers. It was nice to see the coaches relaxing. As we were cleaning up the city of Calgary guys came by and asked if we needed some wood. We explained we were finished and they weren't impressed we had the BBQ in the camp kitchen. (did the same thing last year and they didn't say a thing) so anyway, offerred them some of the leftovers hot dogs and they were quite happy. Then gave away the bag of recycable cans to a little old lady who was walking by cleaning out the garbage cans. I believe my good deeds are done for the day.
Dropped the son and his friend off at at movie and came home to an empty house. Messy and empty, but quiet. Bill was out golfing (surprise) and the daughter was somewhere. She phoned shortly after I got home to inform me that the young man she has been seeing (but not going out with) dumped her. She said she really couldn't be mad, because they weren't going out; but he didn't think "his god" would approve of him dating a non religious person. My only question: he knew her religious views when they met (about two months ago) and she was even reading some of the "literature" he gave her. Why would you want to change someone if you like them the way you met them??? I was impressed that the daughter took it so well. Did I mention she and a girlfriend were heading down to the Stampede tonight and she didn't know what time she would be home. hmmmmm taking it well.
Well just waiting on the phone call from the son to pick him up. Better get my stuff together so I can get to bed early again.
