This past weekend we were lucky enough to have a three day weekend, and it was fabulous! Monday was a holiday, Victoria Day, better known as May 24 (that's not May 24th, but May two four!). The weather can be a little sketchy on May 24, but this year it was AMAZING! It was in the high 20's all three days, and it was great to have all that heat and sunshine.
Saturday we got an early start to the day - we went to Kingston to do some shopping and run some errands. We made two stops to do some shopping, Golf Town and Costco! Curt and I each got ourselves a little gift - he got a new putter and I got the Anne of Green Gables 5 Disc DVD Collection. I've picked the box up at least two other times when in Costco, but both times decided to put it back...but not this time!
And, from Costco it was on to a former co-workers house to pick-up some furniture and stuff. One day at lunch, she was mentioning that she was going to list some stuff on Kijiji...she went on to say that she was getting rid of a desk and an elliptical...so, I told her that Curt and I would be interested in taking them off her hands! Well, when we got to her place, we ended up with not only those two items, but also a storage cabinet and a wooden box. The wooden box isn't much right now, but we have big plans for it. A few months ago I saw this on Pinterest, showed it to Curt and asked him if he could make it for the basement...he said he could, but that was the end of it....
Once we got home, the rest of the afternoon and evening was spent working around the house - Curt was doing yard work, and I put our new storage cabinet to work in the mudroom. It has become a place to store sports equipment - mostly golf related, actually, mostly golf balls!
Sunday we had plans to meet some friends who were camping at Sandbanks, so, we got up early and went to church in the county, that way we were closer to the beach when church was over. It worked out well, and we ended up having almost four hours of beach time. I didn't actually go for a swim, but did spend some time in knee deep water throwing a frisbee around with Curt, and the water was surprisingly warm.
We had to cut the time short because we wanted to be home for the annual neighbourhood bbq and fireworks. This year, Dave and Sarah and the boys, and Kevin, Susannah and Stella came for the fireworks.
One of our neighbours is a volunteer firefighter, and he always takes the lead on the fireworks display. This year, some of the other volunteers came early and brought a truck with them. All the kids had a great time climbing in, and on, the truck.
We enjoyed another great fireworks show, although little Stella wasn't too sure about them...she thought they were too loud...quote of the night, Stella in a serious voice told her dad that she thought she should go home because it was 'almost past her bedtime'.
And Monday, after sleeping in, we had a pretty low key day. Curt played golf in the afternoon, and I spent the majority of the day reading on the back deck!
After proof reading this post, I feel like it sounds like a rather boring weekend, but it was actually perfect in my books!
