It's July

Yesterday was a busy day, it was M's birthday as well as a public holiday in honour of Canada Day. We met up with 2 other families for lunch (not really birthday related) at a restaurant then went back to the hosting family's house for a little while. Their daughter is off to Paris for a month to gain a French high school credit.

Afterward, we rushed off to meet M's brother, his nephew, nephew's girlfriend, and his mom at yet another restaurant for dinner (his brother's treat). At Christmas, this nephew had introduced us to a new girlfriend. It was interesting to see that he had his previous long-time girlfriend back in tow. Well, they're only 18! I brought a birthday cake along and gave it to the waitress. After the meal, she brought the cake out, all lit up, with about 10 assorted waiters and waitresses to help sing 'Happy Birthday'. So M was happy with all the attention on his special day! Not to mention, the chocolate fudge cake was delicious.

This morning, I went for a walk. My next door neighbour was doing some weeding and commented that our lawn was looking a lot more weed-free than hers. I gave her the name of our lawn service and told her they use some kind of organic weed killer. She said she was going to give them a call. This afternoon, I did some weeding myself, then I baked some chicken legs and roasted some broccoli and potatoes for today's meal. I read that a cup of cherries is only 90 calories and packed with more nutrients than blueberries, so I had a cup of those.

Well, I'm going to check that all the house calendars have been moved over to July!
