I Lied...Sorry

And busy isn't an excuse, I know...so, here I am today (well, tonight) going to post some pictures from the last month or so...they are in no particular order, but they might be entertaining...some even breathtaking (of course those are the ones with me in them...HA! Just kidding) No more typing, onto pictures!


Alrighty then, here is me in a banana suit. Kevin and Nathan took me for a wicked boat ride a couple of weeks ago and it was quite wavy coming back which made it very cold and very wet...but we (well, they) were prepared!

This is Halfway Lake, not sure if it is acutally halfway or what it is halfway between, but that's the name...
This is a picture of Ile A La Crosse Lake, beautiful....look on a map of Saskatchewan, you'll find it!
Another shot of me in my banana suit, I know, who could resist?!?
Still ice on the shoreline, in May...welcome to the North (but then again, nothing compared to the entire lake still being frozen like Great Bear Lake! LOL)

Okay, I'm getting pretty wiped, I really do think about blogging...I've got a lot more pictures to post, so don't give up on me yet!

It's Been Awhile...

May 6th - Michele's 40th Birthday Party
From Left to Right - Carol, Mabel, Rosalyn, Me
Dorothy, Michele, Evon
(women I work with)

The Grade 12's
(most of them)


My apologies, but life has been busy and even though this computer sits in front of me everyday, it seems I just don't get around to it. But, after receiving many "update your blog" messages, I thought it's about time.



We're on the last couple of days of classes, reviewing for exams, getting exams created, doing marks...its busy....the time flew by. The kids are amazed at how fast this last month has gone... Grad is on June 1st...then we're officially done the school year for 2006-2007...phew...



I've signed my contract for next year, so no changing addresses and schools for me this year. Quite a relief. I had wanted to travel this summer to Vancouver but after my stressful summer last year I think I'm just going to hang out between here and Saskatoon. I want to enjoy the summer of fishing and camping -- an advantage of living in the north! Which is funny now to say north as its really not as north as I'm used to but you get the drift....lol



What else? I've been enjoying quad rides and boat rides and being busy with work. Ummm...haven't been doing to much scrapbooking or sewing -- winter things I suppose. The weather is too nice.... I'll be moving upstairs in June which will be nice as there are two bedrooms so I'll have room to put people if they come visit.



I've taken a lot of pictures lately but haven't put them on the computer yet so as soon as I do I will post them (tomorrow maybe?!?) But for now, you get a few odd shots of the graduates of this year...next year will be different without them... I've gotten so close to them teaching them all year...but I'm sure I'll say the same thing next year...until next time ...(which I hope to promise won't be as long) take it easy!
