May 2 to 11, 2009

Where does all the time go. Here we are, already at May 11th! We have hardly been at home since we arrived. We did briefly meet with Sandra and Gordon whose blogs we have been following for a couple of years now. I thought it would be nice to sit down with them and share stories, but there has been no time. Maybe sometime soon.

I did pick up my motorcycle so that was a super happy day. The weather has not been too cooperative recently so it has just sat there waiting to go out and play. I guess I'm just a warm and sunny weather kind of guy:-) I did take it for a spin today as it finally warmed up a bit. Tonight is supposed to go down to 1 degree celcius (34 F?). It's hard to imagine freezing temperatures at this time of year. I'm sure it won't last.

Tonight is only the second evening we are actually going to have dinner at home. We've gone out to dinner at restaurants so much lately I think we're getting sick of them (restaurants, that is!). There have been a lot of birthdays in the family and that usually means picking a favourite place for dinner. Also, we've spent quite a few nights at our daughter and son-in-laws for dinner and socializing. Of course we like to do that so I won't complain any further.

I played some golf the other day, my first time since leaving Apache Junction. I can't believe how much I've forgotten in just a few weeks. In addition, it rained for most of the last 9 holes and put quite a damper on our spirits. However, like one of my friends always likes to say - a bad day of golf is so much better than any day of work.
