Booked II

I'm pretty sure we booked our holiday last night. It kept timing out, but we got an email today confirming everything. It is cold and snowy out so that makes me more anxious to get this thing organized. Perhaps early May will be a different story but around here the weather may the same then as it is now.

We went to the awards luncheon for the business faculty at the Hotel MacDonald. We were surprised to find that Sam got two scholarships, the Winspear one and one from Shell, we were only expecting the Winspear one. (The photo is Sam and the lady from Shell.) The lunch was good, the awards moved quickly and we sat at a table with congenial people so all in all it was very nice.
We have reached a renovation roadblock. Geoff was trying to clean out the drain in the downstairs kitchen but it has plugged off further up (or down) so we can't use the kitchen sink or dishwasher. Hope to get it sorted out before we run out of dishes. Pic is the kitchen area downstairs.
We are looking forward to two weeks in Costa Rica. There will be time for lots of relaxing so we have energy for some activities. Geoff may find himself spending time alone on the beach, depending on what he wears.
