Friday night Tango lesson is where this entry starts. John was teaching is some technical points on 'connection' and using our Ying and Yang A bit artsy for me. But Julie and I 'connected' and became one with the Tango! We were moving well and people were asking us (the relative beginners) to show them the moves we were doing! (Of course rather than admiration perhaps they couldn't believe what we were doing to the Tango  ). So a good start to the weekend with us feeling praised. .

Saturday morning saw a beautiful blue sky with lots of sunshine and we set out for the Outdoor Show at the Harvey Community Recreation Center (their spelling). After living here nearly three years Gemma thinks we are more easily pleased. Because we enjoyed browsing the show and met a couple of people we know. Christine from the Chickadee Lodge and Jessie from Fur 'n Things (Julie met her at the Christmas Craft Fair) so lots of chatting and it was good to see people we know. Who knows perhaps Gemma is right and we are more easily pleased these days. Here are a couple of links to some exhibitors.
But we enjoyed it anyway
See photos below.

 A view down the aisle at the different booths. Notice the collection of trophies on the wall. This community is very much into hunting and fishing as a recreation. |
Spring is moving along at a pace now it is here. The last week have been beautiful with only one grey day with a little rain. The sump pump has ended its role of keeping the basement from flooding, the snow has nearly all gone, we have crocus and snow drops out and the daffodils and tulips are coming up. To show the difference in 3 weeks see before and after photos below.

Last night was our last saturday of the month Pub Night at the Lunar Rogue and we had a good turnout with potentially two new members! Julie and I left about 11:30pm and it was still going strong. We found out the Carolyn is expecting a baby - Ian (Carolyn's husband) swears this has to be the last!

A beautiful Sunday morning here and today is "fix up the basement" day in preparation for our summer visitors. I am installing some electrical sockets so if there are no more entries on this blog you will know I was toasted!

Gemma just announced how shocked she was to discover the Activia yoghurt contains 14gms of sugar in every pot , and she was going to spend the next hour on the exercise machine! The moral of the story is "don't read the labels"
