It's raining!!!! Yeah!!!!! Seriously though, after all the snow we had it's hard to believe the ground is so dry. We are in desperate need of a good soaking. The rain started last night a slow steady rain perfect for soaking in. What's even better is the fact that we planted most of our veg. garden yesterday. Perfect timing.

Last weekend Margaret and Dom and Alix were here. Alix stayed an extra 3 days. Sunday after D&M left and after Alix had her nap we went to the Dairy Queen where Alix had great fun in the Space Gym. On Mon we went to Zellers and Winners and did some shopping. We actually went so Alix could have a ride on one of those kids rides outside the store ( you know the ones your kids begged to ride on and you wouldn't let them, but with grand kids its different ) but it was broken. We compensated with another trip to the DQ. On Wed. we met up with Dom in Kingston had dinner and we went back to our respective homes.

Rob called me on Saturday. He sounds so happy. What a wonderful feeling for a parent, nothing is better than knowing your child is happy. He passed his final exam for Hydro last Mon. with 82%. I am so proud. He was telling me that this position he has with Hydro is well received around the world so there is no end to the possibilities. However he has is eye on the Saunders Dam in Cornwall. To quote Robbie " I think it is much healthier living in Glengarry and cheaper. So it looks like he plans to return to his roots.

Emma and Derek left this morning (5:25a.m.) for Sackville NB. Emm is checking out the Uni and possible job opportunities. It is also a wonderful chance for her and Derek to get away . They have both worked hard at school and at Home Depot, they deserve a holiday.
