 Good morning and Bonne St-Jean-Baptiste

Our provincial holiday today

Last Monday dh picked up grandkids from daycare and ds and ddil came for supper.  DDIL is on medical leave for a month (don't know the details but she says she is tired)... and she is having MAJOR family drama with her dad... suffise it to say me and dh won't be having a relationship with him from this point on - some words cannot be forgiven even with alot of goodwill.  Mama Bear is angry .

Last Tuesday was in-town work with a picnic with cws outside.  Was very hot but nice in the shade.

Wednesday I worked half a day as I had a lunch for a retirement in town.  DH did errands while I met the others.  The retiree worked 49 years for our govt. agency.  Lots of retired people where there... the ones I first worked with when I started there.  Was great to see how everyone was doing. Then we did some errands and went to Xavier's baseball practice.

Friday kids & grandkids came over for the village summer fest... hot-dogs, lemonade, grilled marshmallows, games and a singer and a guitar player.  Came back around 7:30.  Xavier slept over.

Saturday Xavier had an early baseball practice at the real ball stadium so dh & ds went with him and they came back around noon.  Was a hot day so we just relaxed afterwards.

Sunday was rain all day, so did a few housechores but just enjoyed the quiet time.  It was also our 34th wedding anniversary.

If interested my CIJ blogposts are scheduled to start July 1st.

Looking around the house

Lots of small things to do .  Think I'll do a timeline so things are ready by Friday when sis gets here.

Thinking and pondering

All I'd like to do this week and on the other hand wanting to do nothing 😁

I need to plan meals... been saying that for the last few weeks... sigh..  We are going with friends for a weekend and also when the boys will come to do the roof they will sleep here and I will need to feed them.
