I was home early from school today, and the sun was shining. I decided to take Lightfoot out for his first ride of the year. We went a mere ten miles to view the Great River but it was very pleasant. I have hopes of riding more this summer.
And speaking of summer–the school term is almost over. Two finals next Thursday and that’s it! Whew! It’s been a long haul.
The high school awards and scholarship presentations were last evening. Someone donate a sum of money in honor of Jerry for a scholarship for a soccer player. Thus, the Jerry Boisvert Honorary Scholarship has been born! I expect it to have a long life.
Ever on…
It’s been busy here the past few weeks. Illness, school finals, weekend trip to Seattle, weekday trip to Beaverton. So! A little catch up blog.
I caught what I thought was a nasty cold. After being a snot factory for over two weeks, Jerry insisted I see a doctor. It turns out I had a sinus infection so I now have antibiotics and am feeling much better. Of course, I was sick during finals week so two of my tests I bombed on. However, I did all right with the final grades.
Jerry, Peggy, Hobbitses and I went to Seattle to see the Eldar. (My dad doesn’t look nearly as good at 87 as Aragorn did.) We had a delightful visit. We departed the City via the ferry to Bremerton. Lots of fun. The Hobbitses had never been on a ferry so the hour voyage was doubly enjoyable. We then retired to a motel with a swimming pool which was utilized that evening and the following morning by the Hobbitses. As we drove the back roads home, we stopped and fed the fish at a hatchery, then we had our lunch in the parking lot. Here’s a small gallery for your viewing pleasure.
Three days later I was off to Beaverton to visit the rest of the family. Very relaxing as the antibiotics had kicked in and I felt human once again. I was able to accompany Heather, Lindsay, and Emery on an excursion to the zoo. Had a great time. I also made a computer recycling run with three computers and five monitors. Nice to clear stuff out!
One last weekend then the spring term of school begins. Easter weekend will be fun though. Barney, Heather, Lindsay, and Emery will be making an appearance here. We’ll celebrate Pepere’s birthday so the food and special desserts will flow freely. We do know how to eat well.
