Summer's coming

I'm having one of those moments.  You know the ones, (I hope,)  where you recognize how truly blessed you are.  Not just for the big things but the usual, everyday things that we so easily take for granted.  Loved ones, vehicles in good working order, a fridge/freezer with food in it, a great school, respectable places of employment, heat and air conditioning... and looking forward just a little, SUMMERTIME! 

Today we had a hint of that again.  I think it's about 25 degrees right now and what a great day for not only the community garage sale but also for Spruce Meadows.  The more usual scenario with Spruce Meadows is that if an event is scheduled, so is rain.  Not so this weekend.  We've been invited to go tomorrow at no cost in appreciation of First Responders. 

I don't want to hold you up for long so I'll bid you adieu.  Hope you're enjoying your weekend!  Oh, and take a minute to think about your blessings and give thanks. 

Scotiabank 10K

I (Jennifer) did it again - I think for the 7th time!  Today I competed in the Scotiabank Marathon's 10k event and had two lovely ladies with me until shortly after the start line.  Emily spotted the 1 hour pace bunny and decided that she would finish the race with that group.  Worked for a while - in the end she shaved 21 minutes off of last years finish time and crossed the finish line at 1:09.  SENSATIONAL!

Katie was a great encourager to me and I suppose I reciprocated the same to her.  We carved off 10 minutes from last years time and finished at 1:20.

Photos were taken of us at different times by both strangers and friends so hopefully I can get some commemorative photos up here for you to see. 

Only 364 sleeps til we do it again!
