Old Friends

While Alan went to Saskatoon, I stayed at Brightsand and hung out with two old friends, Lora and Susie, and their kids. We usually get together once or twice a year (we call it the spinster club reunions - ask me about it some time). This year was special since both Lora and Susie turned 40, and we figured we would try it with kids! Susie has 4 children: Stuart, Annie, Mary and Sam. Lora has 1: Lucas.

Mental note: kids should be almost self sufficient before trying this yourself!

The weather was on the cool side, not one beach day! The weather pattern was to rain overnight starting at about 5pm, clear up to a beautiful blue sky in the early morning while the wind blew the grass dry. Dry enough to go outside at about noon as it clouded over again...

While some frustrations were occasionally evident, I really enjoyed hanging out with Susie, Lora and their kids. I got re-aquainted with Stuart and Annie and got to know Mary, Lucas and Sam. And I got to see my friends as Moms. It is amazing when friends turn out to be the types of Mom you always figured they would be.

Alan got back to the cabin Friday night, Saturday morning Lora and Susie packed up and headed home. Alan followed Susie home to pick up some good Matthews beef and I cleaned the cabin up. We headed out that afternoon.

Thanks PEVE for letting us use your cabin!
