Day 7 of May

Well, we are into the last week of May.  It is less than a month until Patrick and I head off to Winnipeg to see Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran.
  Yesterday (Sunday) was a very productive day. On Saturday night, I had decided I would go early for my Sunday training walk.  Bill said if I waiting until he got back from the gym he would join me.. I always love the company, but didn't want him to come for the walk if he had something else to do.  So I mentioned this concern, and he assured me, he wanted to do the walk.  So I wake up early Sunday 6:30 a.m. (I know it's Sunday, but when you go to bed at 10:30, what does one expect)  So as Bill is leaving for the gym at 7:00 he asks me if we are taking Maya with us for the walk... Ahhh, I see his plan now.  What am I going to say, No.  Personally I think 10 k is going to be too much for her little legs, but....  So Bill gets home at 9:00, Maya and I are ready to go - I've got her treats, water, a little jogging shirt, poop bags (this is almost as bad as having to pack a diaper bag)  We head out.  The walk was great - a little slower than what I'm used to; not quite as much talking as I'm used to with a walking partner; and a few too many breaks (Maya would walk, and then need to be carried, walk, then carried - you get the pattern)  As for the talking that did take place,it was Bill checking his new GPS watch - 3 km, 3.6 km, 5 km.......  I think next week I will try and sneak out at my normal 6:30 time and put in the ear plugs.  But overall, it was a good walk.

   After we got home, we cleaned up and headed out in the bullet for a little dim sum.  I have warned Bill that he cannon wear sandals and socks in my car - but he doesn't listen.. We actually had to wait about 10 minutes for dim sum.  If we had a larger group - maybe 6 or 8, we would have gotten in right away.  We're not used to just going the two of us.  While we were enjoying our food I text Patrick that we were bringing him dim sum home for supper.  He wanted to know where we were and who we were with.  Again, it's not usual for just Bill and I to go alone.
  After the food and a couple of pots of tea, we headed over to Ray and Linda's for a short visit.  Ray was the best man at our wedding.  We don't get together nearly as much as I would like, but I'm hoping to change that over the summer.  Their daughter Sara was showing me some charms she had made with clay.  Now Sara is going into grade 5 I think, and some of these charms were very impressive.  I ordered about 6 of them.
  We get home around 2:00 and I think Maya was still sleeping when we got home.  A quick nap (OK a really long 2 hour nap) and I was refreshed again.  After Patrick got home I headed out to the garden to transplant my two plants (they have yellow and orange flowers - damn, I have the tags somewhere) and I also got my sweet pea seeds into the ground.
  By the time bed time rolled around, I was ready to close my eyes.  But after a short discussion with Bill, I had a difficult time falling asleep.  And here is the reason why.  I was asking Bill if he would like to go see the Rolling Stones.  He said he already seen them.  When and with who was my next question.  Apparently the last time they were in Calgary and I was his date....  I swear, I don't remember every seeing the Stones.  I have on my wall, framed photo's with ticket stubs of concerts we have been too - they include big names like Garth Brooks, Madonna, Cher, to smaller names like Paul Revere and the Raiders - but no where on this wall do I see Rolling Stones.  Here's my dilemma - one of us is losing it, and to make things even more difficult I can't solve this problem with google.  I did google and the stones were here in 2005.  I will continue with my detective work - "really, I've seen the Rolling Stones" - why can't I remember something like that.......
  To be continued......
