Aboriginal summer
Or native summer or first nations summer. Whatever. The weather has been beautiful this past week, so nice and warm with the leaves starting to turn.
Drove into Red Deer last night to have supper with Jude. She was working in Calgary this week and leaves for her trip on the weekend so it was good to see her since she will be gone for a long time. She misses us showing up at her apt every weekend.
Geoff has been working, working. This new project is part of the reason he didn't retire in February, so it is good work although lots of hours. So he couldn't come for supper last night.
The Cavalier is gone. We have kept to heart the caveat when Richard passed it on to us, that we can't sell it, only give it away. A guy from Geoff's work took it for his kids. Tim took it for one last drive the other night. A lot of kids in Rocky learned how to drive a standard on that little car.
Am getting used to not having kids around, although it still seems strange.

Oh mom. You're so pc.
How am I ever going to learn to drive standard if the cav is gone?
My friend Leah (who is Dutch) and I like to come up with the "essential" traits of our national / genetic backgrounds.
She says: I will silently judge you for not having the perfect lace curtains.
I say: I will hold a grudge against you until the end of time (both Slav and Scots; not sure about Cornish?)
Grace: Serves you right---I gave you the chance to learn on the infamous "cav" but you passed it up
Grace can't believe you did not learn to drive a standard on the Cav.
I think grudge-holding is a universal human trait.
Richard says:
The three R's are a crock. The Dutch model only has 2.
Reduce....reuse...reuse again...and again...and again...and again....
