Bouncy castle.

This was us last Saturday, happily prancing through the trees at Bowring Park. It snowed on Monday. But that's Newfoundland for you, and really, who can complain? It IS still May after all. We've been having crazy nice weather this month (I am tanning nicely, thank you for asking).

I spend five days a week at the dinosaur park with my young charges, playing slide conductor and juice hander-outer. And thus when the idea comes up of going to the park on my day off - I usually stay home. But I sucked it up. For the good of humanity and all that.

Life is racing past me and I have nothing to show for it. Except amazing bffs (and bf!) who keep me laughing and riding high in the clouds. I wish I could have a party for them all. Just that handful of people who mean so much to me. Maybe I will this summer. Have a little brunch in my backyard complete with a buffet and mimosas. Hmmm, yes indeed. I'll keep you posted.

I'm going to go race into those clouds again. See you on the flip-side, yo.

We share the cool gene.

What else are you going to do on a Tuesday evening but hang out with your bestie on the side of Mount Scio Road. In the woodsy part of course. The sun is setting, can't you picture it?


She makes me feel happy and grateful and humble every single time I hang out with her. Robyn completes me Jerry Maguire style!

These pictures are so scrapable, Robyn. And not a single one was photoshopped!

Sanity map.

Sierra and I decided to map out our progress into cracked-off land. Where are you?

Fated.

Aren't we painfully cute? Robyn makes me grateful for the little happys of the world, thank you my dear.

As most of you can probably tell, my blogging has slowed down substantially. There are several reasons for this and I can proudly tell you that ALL OF THEM ARE GOOD.

I have taken the lemons of winter sad times and squeezed them into the delicious summer lemonade which is right now. Happy happy.

It was kicking around twenty degrees today (in April, I know, global warming is awesome... for now) and I spent the day outside lying in the grass trouncing the boy at checkers and being silly with my little lady. I do love the curly haired folk.

I visited Mommy this afternoon and she graciously bestowed upon me a new burner for my oven (I might have put a Dollarama oven mitt on a hot burner, oops), a bag off potatoes (to use on the BBQ she gave me the week before, wow my mom is awesome) and a slice of apple pie.

I am surrounded by people who are more generous than you can possibly fathom, for this I'm grateful.

But as it breaks into summer, I'm reminded of the things that need doing. Not chores, for they're too fun to be chores! Scrapbooks that need filling with pictures that need taking. Letters to be written and posted. Books to be read. Paintings to be painted.

Can you feel it? Life is coming back to the city. The BBQ is going every night, stop by with a pack of wieners or a steak and we'll have a chat.

You move like a rolling wave.

I've been living! Spending my vacation with the special ones and loving my independence.


I can't explain it any better than these pictures can.

I lost a blonde snowman making girl this week, the Swedish princess as well. But I'm gaining back my scientist next month. Seeing off two of my boys to their new home a few roads down (yes! Joey is leaving my couch after four epic months, he will be missed).

Every morning this week I've woken late in bed, an unshakable smile on my face.
