A lot of business

We finally are pretty much all feeling better. Although I still do have a nagging cough that is lingering and tonight I seem to have a bit of a sore throat. Here is a recap of our last week and so.


On Monday Oct 13 we went out to Maxime's for a supper celebrating my dad's birthday. It was a good evening. I hasn't a big fan of my dinner, I could hardly eat it, I just had it boxed up and brought it home. Richard tried eating for lunch the following day, but ended up throwing it out. However, I must say, the cake they served was absolutely devine!

On Tuesday Oct 14 I went to vote and was very happy that the NDP kept their seat in my riding, but was thoroughly disapointed that the St-Boniface riding (the French Quarter and my old neighbourhood) became Conservative. That riding had been Liberal my whole life!! I still can't get over that. I am glad however that the Conservatives only managed to get another minority government despite all the monies they spent (2:1 compared to Liberals).



On Friday Oct 17, We spent the afternoon raking the leaves and we had a surprise visit by Pepere and Memere (my dad and stepmom). The kids were very excited to have them here. It was nice. I need to make arrangements to visit with them more often.

On Sat Oct 18, we were back to swimming lessons. Xavier is still in the Starfish/duck classes that are parent assisted, which he really enjoyed. Emma graduated to Sea Turtle, but she had a little trouble adjusting to the fact that it is not parent assisted. We'll just take our time and hopefully next Saturday will be better.


On Sunday Oct I went to my friend Eva's bridal shower, which was really nice. I had a good time. It's not very often that I get to go out without the kids for leisure, I just wish sometimes I could go for more than just a couple of hours.
Today we went out for lunch with Chelsea (my Goddaughter), and it had been a long time since we last saw her. It was a great time and hopefully we can arrange more times to get together.
