date

Hun & I went on a date today after church, its been quite a while since we spent one on one time, usually our outings include little girl, so hubby made sure during the week that one of the big kids would be in charge of little girl, so big girl took on that responsibility and her & Jeff took little girl golfing, Jeff still had his first set of golf clubs so that's what little girl used. She's quite a determined golfer i hear, i'm sure the next time the boy or girl will mention golfing she'll be wanting to go again too. I would have loved to see her golf. This week she asked me where dad's golf clubs were and i told her i wasn't sure, so off to the shop she went and came back with a T and ball, so she put the t in the ground put the ball on top and kicked it and kept going till ball was at house. i wasn't too keen on her finding the golf clubs as that may mean something like baseball inside, golf towards windows?? we don't need that kind of help on the place, so hopefully she'll be satisfied with little clubs for now.
Anyway, hubby organized this during the week, like i said he has lots of time to think on the tractor, well wouldn't you know it, this morning i said to him, hun, i'm just so tired, after church we just need to go right home and i need to sleep, i'm so tired, so he had to tell me his idea, to which of course i'm not too tired with a date with my hun, but we went out for an extravagent lunch (wendy's ) lol!! actually its one of my fav places to eat, fairly quiet, reasonably priced, of course he needed to treat us to Dairy Queen ice cream, so i made sure lunch wasn't too big, then we went off to the cabin, had a snooze and walked down to the lake and watched our neighbor family on the jet ski, and their daughter try her hand at water skiing, she did an excellent job, for first time, took maybe 4 tries in freezing cold water to get up long enough to ski. They are a wonderful couple who are pastoring south, west of Brandon, we are so fortunate to have many Christian family up at the lake as neighbors, we are slowly getting to know them, for years we kept to ourselves, now we're getting out and meeting people and enjoying everyone's company. Then we went down to the river to see how the fishing was doing, well it sounded quite slow, as fishing season opened but the water has been running for about a month already so spawning must be pretty much over, so maybe we'll have to bring boat up when we go up next. Hubby has just got to get it spring and fishing ready yet. Oh, then we went out for supper, i wasn't too keen on these more extravagent restraunts as they are so noisy so we decided on Smitty's we had a nice quiet spot, food was ok, but i didn't have to cook for hey!! it was great. All this sitting there watching waterskiing, reminded me of when hubby & bro in law dwayne went waterskiing no wet suits, just swim trunks, may long and br... it was cold, i really don't know what we were thinking, then the boat which was new to us at the time, all of a sudden died leaving poor dwayne mid lake, oh brr... we laugh now at how silly we were, maybe we're just wimps now, as another time we went May long up to Duck mountains and tented again at freezing temps, with our little ones, ice had just gone down, no waterskiing that weekend but br.....
Anyway i head to wpg. tomorro for my lymph node drainage so we'll see how that goes, hopefully do a bit of shopping ahead of time and head home, my baby sis (good thing she'll read this after we get back lol) is coming along so if i get too tired she'll drive IF i let her.
anyway, pic is of the kids (neice, nephew & little girl) having a blast last summer at the lake, little girl is always in her glory at the lake with "new" friends or on the boat fishing or tubing.

Pray for neice Karla this week as she and a group from Miller are suposed to be going on a missions trip to Germany, but British air ways is talking about striking so pray that they don't so they can go spread the word to kids and families in Germany
continue to pray for my neice Jennifer as she waits for her results on May 31 for her CT scan and her EEG
well i'm off to la la land, will try and update more tomorro

  1. I tried your cinnamon bun recipe that you posted on Wanna Lick the Spoon. I don't usually have good luck with cinnamon buns but these actually turned out! They didn't look anything like yours but if I try a few more times, they will look good AND taste good! Thanks for posting!

  2. sounds good, that has been the best recipe over here, my sis makes half the batch and gets 24 i don't know how she does it, but i always get 24 with one batch go figure. As long as they taste good and are soft, doesn't matter.
