We finally had a taste of what summer feels like. Last Saturday the sun shone, birds were sing and people got sunburned. And my goodness it felt good. I was out on my deck busy swinging and reading when on to the neighbours to the south took it upon herself to burn every leaf on her yard. The wind was from the south and soon our back yard was filled with, ah sweet smells of spring. Not, I hurried to get into the house and close the windows which were no longer filling the house with spring-like breezes. Some people say they like the smell of burning leaves, well, they have it. All it does is make my eyes water and give me swollen sinuses.
Field trip
The Grade 1&2 classes went to the Children's Museum in Winnipeg on May 7. In the morning they did an archeological dig with special tools in the ice to find artifacts. After lunch they explored the rest of the activities in the museum. Everyone enjoyed their time sharing new discoveries.
Bus trip
The MCI chamber choir boarded a bus and left on a road trip Wednesday, Apr. 30 with an overnight stop at Medicine Hat, heading for Calgary. The choir had been busy rehearsing songs at MCI but now they sang these songs with choirs from across Canada. Saturday the students were allotted free time and spent the day at the Calgary Zoo. On May 4 the choirs held a concert at the Ambrose University. The senior choir totaled 170 students and I'm told it was awesome.
On Monday they headed to Banff where activities included snowboarding and skiing or sightseeing and hot springs. It was light jacket weather in Calgary even though it snowed big snowflakes for four days straight. They began their return trip on Tuesday with a sleep stop at Regina and arrived back kin Gretna on May 7. Grampa Dave Wolfe was there to welcome granddaughter Gabby Wolfe back to Manitoba and give her a ride home.
Mark your calendars
The W.C. Miller Spring Concert will be held May 27 at Buhler Hall in Gretna.
Everyone is invited to the Spring Tea at Rosenfeld School the morning of May 28
Progress Report
Last week I wrote about my upcoming appointment at HSC with my surgeon on May 6. Dave and I did not expect the results that Dr. Pilkey gave us. The x-rays of the left ankle showed that the bone is not growing onto the filler which had been used to make up for the bone loss. I need to have a CT scan and if this confirms what the surgeon suspects then I will be back in surgery in the near future. We were both stunned and not very talkative on the ride home. I threw myself a pity party the nest day and cried a pail of water; maybe that's where the rain came from.
I've since come to grips with the situation and having such a great supportive family is a blessing. I hope all mothers had as great a Mother's Day as I did. the yunge Wolfes made lunch, we watched the MCI musical Godspell, which I could attend and then we enjoyed homemade pizza for supper. Life is good.
Take care on the roads this weekend' may the weather be sunny.
