Sunday... My day of rest

I have decided to do nothing today. Jim is on the riding lawn mower, to see how he feels. He is feeling a lot better, and the only restrictions he was given was no lifting for 6 weeks. He should be able to mow. We saw the snow birds yesterday. We ended up coming from the south, so we were across the highway from the airport, but we still had a pretty good view. They arrived at exactly 3pm, and left at exactly 3:30pm. They sure fly close together! From there we went to the 70th birthday party. We ended up sitting with a couple from Winnipeg. She was originally from here; I think she is the same age as Jim's sister Glenda. Anyway, it turns out that they now live on the corner of Baltimore and Fisher! (It was the Haines house when I was a kid). Martin was telling me that Osborne south is becoming revitalized now. The trashy places are moving out and he also said the Park Theatre is open. They have tables and serve food during the movies! AND, of the couple that owns it, the wife is from Neepawa! Small world. Bonar put on quite a spread for supper (there I go with food again!) Lots of meat trays, with real meat, not "slimy" pink ham and salami. There also had homemade baked beans, veggie trays, potato salad, cheese, pickles, olives (yech), buns and, of course, birthday cake. His nephew is in a "band" in Winnipeg, and his group came out and played. The party was supposed to be in the back room of the legion, but we spread out and filled the front part too. It was fun. The snow birds was the only part of homecoming that we went to. We checked out the midway on Friday (before it opened) It was quite impresive. There were lots of rides (for little kids and for older ones) They had all sorts of the midway games, and candy apples and mini donoughts. We never went into the yellowhead to check out the venders. Jim was ready to sit down by then. I quess the Saturday night social was full. All the armbands had been given out by around 7pm, and people were in line waiting for someone to leave so that they could get an armband. Lots went to get their bands and were going back later. We came home. I was ready for bed by then. Too much sun, I think, but it was also 10:30pm. Anyway, I guess I will do a little bit of work today. Jim can only get so close to the deck and house with the lawn mower, so I will do the trimming. Have a great week
