A Month of Memories!

Spring has sprung and we have been busy with Impact Basketball, yard work and gardening.  A few weeks ago we tilled a portion of my organic garden and planted some spring produce, such as radish, spinach, kale, etc.  All of the spring flowers are blooming.  We picked mayflowers and dug wild leeks.  While picking we discovered a heap of dung and looked up to see the depositor, a large porcupine, above in a tree.  At school, the kids were excited to discover that the tulips that we planted had bloomed.  There is a mallard duck nesting in our school flower bed and each day the kids and I peek in hoping to see ducklings.  Last weekend, we drove to see Brock University campus.  It was lovely.  The grounds were well maintained and there were lots of flowers and bushes in bloom.  I think Adrian will be happy there!

Second Boil!

It is Easter weekend and we enjoyed Good Friday immensely!  Pat was working in the sugarbush with our friend Nick.  I went out to check on the boil then went to check out my garden.  There is still snow on the field but it won't be long before things start to grow.  I spotted the tracks of turkeys nearby.  Last summer they helped themselves to my tomatoes.  Perhaps they are hoping for more this year.

All Done!

Tonight Marion made her second appearance on Jeopardy.  She came in second in this semi-final match.  Unfortunately, that meant that she did not advance to the final.  Her family was still very proud of her though.  Way to go Wingler!

Terrific Teacher!

Doing well!

Good-bye Alex!

Volleyball All-Stars!

The Grews were at Regi last night for the city Volleyball All-Star Match-up.  Adrian was selected as one of three players from Frontenac to compete in this fun event.  Many parents were in attendance to watch these highly skilled players have a good time on the court while they showcased their talents!  Go boys!

Powerful Women!

On Saturday morning I joined the participants of the "Women in Action" conference at the Gananoque Inn.  This powerful workshop was geared to educate members about how they could develop their leadership potential and increase their involvement in the work of the Federation.  The workshops were very relevant, the women inspiring and the setting was relaxed and comfortable.  What a magnificent weekend!

Powerful Women!

Inspiring Participants!

Yahoo!  Marion, my niece, won her quarter-final match tonight on the Jeopardy Teachers' Tournament.   We had a pizza party to celebrate and watch the show.  My parents, die-hard Jeopardy fans were in tears at the end when she answered the Final Jeopardy question correctly.  Way to go Marion!  Tune in next Thursday for the semi-final match!

A hug from a proud aunt!
