Climbing the wall

The last day of work before summer holidays and I am climbing the walls! The new grade twelve coordinator had a wind up party at her house and her husband (also a teacher who teaches at Evan Hardy, had installed a climbing wall. So I just had to try it. Friday I'll be up north to check out whether there are any fish left in the lakes up there.

On Gold(fish)en Pond

These pictures are for Amber all because I said that our goldfish are bigger than her goldfish and she said that she wanted to see the picture of them.

At The Barn Playhouse

Ruth and I picked up Jennifer and John Wallace and we all went to see Andrew in the play version of Huckleberry Finn. Andrew played the part of Jim and had the only singing role. Of course he did a good job.

I have already mentioned two of the seven wonders in previous blogs so here is the entire list from our great public broadcaster CBC:

	The Canoe Canada Judges' Comments (0:46)			The Igloo Northern Canada Judges' Comments (0:46)
	Niagara Falls Ontario Judges' Comments (0:19)			Old Quebec City Quebec Judges' Comments (0:36)
	Pier 21, Halifax Nova Scotia Judges' Comments (1:00)			Prairie Skies Canadian Prairies Judges' Comments (0:39)
	The Rockies British Columbia / Alberta

June is soon over

This is from a poster advertising a play called Huckleberry Finn where Andrew plays the part of Jim. He has not been home much because of play practice almost every evening. I have only four teaching days left and a couple of administration days to get my marks in and do paperwork. Then I'll be on a lake up north in a canoe and not on a raft on just a mere river like the Mississippi.
BTW wasn't it great that the canoe made it on to the 7 greatest Canadian wonders?

Igloo collapse

I found out that an igloo is a temporary structure in that it did not last very long. Just a few days after completing, I noticed it to start its shift changing. It was much warming inside than outside so it melted from the inside out. It was nice to see that the igloo made it to the top 7 wonders of Canada. Maybe it is a symbol too of how temporary this life is.
