Lots going on over the past three weeks (if you couldn't have guessed from the title).

.

Kathryn is in her final preparations for moving back to the UK for 6 months and has started talking about training to be a Nurse (Dad rolls his eyes, I had told her 5 years ago she would make a great Nurse)

Gemma applied for a place at the University of New Brunswick and was accepted. I think she will be the first Whelbourn on our side of the family (the Nottingham branch) to go straight to university without some form of career in between.  She is working hard at MacDonalds earning money and spending it on trinkets such as a new laptop, iphone and paying her airline ticket for our visit to the UK in June/July. Yes, we are going back for a visit and while there we are spending a week in Whitby (hopefully sunny Whitby).

.

Julie is busy making things, she has branched out in dressmaking to compliment her Wraps, Scarves and Purse products. I think by this time next year she will be ready for a shop! It will time nicely with the opening of the new Conference Centre (under construction at the moment). This will create a significant increase in visitors to Fredericton and hopefully more evening functions. If that doesn't happen there is always the internet and there is significant money in Fredericton (capital city and all that).

.

Me, well I am busy at work with the Public Safety Department. They want me to assess their projects and build a Project Management Office (not physically) so they can manage their projects successfully. I have also heard that another department want me to help them in a similar venture. This is good. It keeps me in Fredericton  and it will enable me to enjoy more of the summer than commuting to Halifax or Toronto etc... (not that I mind travelling).

.

We should finally be sending our citizenship applications off this weekend for a project manager my home projects sometimes seem to drag on. Oh yes and I have to try and fix the Central Vacuum system this weekend.

.

AND it's raining (not snowing) so the snow is melting and we can see more green stuff (grass). Check out the city webcams. Yesterday while Julie and I were strolling around the lawn, I spotted  a Daffodil in bud! Julie found some crocuses peeking through the snow. I will post a photo of the first bloom we see.

FINALLY: Yesterday was our 27th Wedding Anniversary  it doesn't seem that long. Last night Julie and I celebrated by going for dinner at Misu's, which is a chinese restuarant on the Northside of Fredericton (on the other side of the river). Nice meal, after the meal we went to Tim Hortons for an after dinner coffee LOLOL how Canadian is that eh?
