Ahhhh, the Weekend!



The sun is just coming up over the Gatineau Hills and across the Ottawa River, I'm on my back deck drinking my coffee! It's not even 6am, but I love summer and don't want to miss a moment!

It's going to be a busy weekend, the usual stuff around the house to do. I just went through my T-shirt drawer and have a stack of them to send off to the Salvation Army.

For ten years I had an at home clothing business as a co-ordinator / Team Leader / Future Manager with Weekender Ladies Wear, which I retired from last year. It was a secondary job to supplement my income, I enjoyed it but it wasn't my passion.

Just recently I heard through the grapevine that the Company went bankrupt in a short two years when the new owners took over. It is truly sad that a well established Canadian owned company goes down the drain, do to improper management. Very sad. I feel badly for the ladies that were still selling the clothes. Today, I will officially rid myself of leftover stock, (Salvation Army) any and all paraphernalia and close off that segment of my life. Feels good to have made that decision.

Later on today I'll head up the valley to Fitzroy Harbour for their Habour Days weekend festival. Glenda and her large extended family are in the ball tournament, so I'll go to cheer them on, swill some suds and get sun burnt, dirty, dusty and happy!!!!

Shortly I'll head out for my run and yes Chris , the bike, my old Iron Pig is up and almost ready to go....

Tomorrow is our group 10K LSD, which makes me realise that next weekend is the Utica Boilermaker, yipppeeee......I love that race!!!

Any blogger's going to Utica??? Let me know! It is always a blast!!!

Have a great weekend everyone, oh and....
