Wow, what better way to end the Olympics than by watching the Men's Gold Medal Hockey Game. And what a game it was. We got up early so we wouldn't miss a minute of it. All of our athletes did very well and should be very proud of themselves.
Well, here we are back in Huntsville after a lovely vacation in Barbados. We had a great time and it was good to recharge the battery so to speak. Yes, even retirees need a break from their routine. It was especially good to get away from Winter for a while and get a good dose of Vitamin D. Having said this, we are happy to be back home with our little guy Cooper. As for Old man Winter, he is still around but we did have a bit of a meltdown a few days ago so the snow is going away slowly but surely. One thing is for sure, Winter is almost over, the days are so much longer and the sun so much warmer. That is my story and I'm sticking to it!
Since we've been back, we havent' done much other than watch the Olympics like most Canadians. It's amazing how addictive those games are. We got back to our normal routine fairly quickly, so did Cooper. He was happy to be back with us although he had a great time at Camp Talemaker. His friends are probably missing him now, especially the gals.....he was quite smitten with some of them. He will be back there next month for a sleep over.
Russell went back to the gym on Friday, good for him. As for me, I will go back tomorrow. I like to start things on a Monday..... We went for a nice long walk this morning after the hockey game. It was good to get out of the house for an hour after being stuck in front the television for the past several days.
That's about it for this week's blog. This is the last week of February...yay! I include a few pictures taken during our trip. I also include the birthday picture that Darlah took of Cooper for Russell's birthday. I wanted to include it in my blog last week but was unable to upload it. He does look quite dapper in this picture.
I wish you all a great week. For many, March break is coming up soon so hang in there...
