Lots of Happenings!

It's only been two weeks since my last post but what a time it has been! We've said goodbye to another school year, I watched my nieces graduate from elementary school and attended the graduation of another group of high school students that I have followed their entire four years.

The chocolate wonder wiped me out on a wet, slippery boat ramp a week and a half ago. She found a bigger stick and came running at me from behind....BOOM in the water I went, goodbye iPhone 6 that was only a year old, hello scraped knee/elbow and a pretty badly sprained ankle.  I had to hobble over to the ferry dock and borrow a cell phone from the ferry captain to call home. Rather than stay home with my foot up I went into the city to reactivate my crappy iPhone 5, buy Harlow a new crate liner and a new bed.

Sunday was interesting as I had the trolley wine tour previously booked with my mom. It was a very hot and sticky day which didn't help the fresh ankle sprain but I managed to hobble around and enjoy our tour. Two wineries, a distillery, tastings at each, lunch and appetizers made for a fun full day. Purchased a bottle of wine and coffee flavoured whiskey that is to die for...I am not a whiskey drinker but boy is it wonderful.

I did it, I booked my bucket list trip! A seven day self drive tour of Ireland has been booked complete with deposit and some Euros already purchased :) Will apply for my passport and start checking out flights in the fall.  My goal is to purchase some Euros every month so I have a nice little chunk saved up. Really looking forward to throwing my camera in the car and just wandering out on my own. Seems so far away but I know it will be here before I know it. Another bonus is the breeder is going to take Harlow for me free of charge while I am gone.

Summer vacation is delayed by three weeks for me this year as I applied for a summer learning camp through my school board.  Quite a jump as I went from working with teenagers all day to kindergarten to grade two's. Day 2 and I am enjoying the change although see me definitely sticking with my teens.
