Oh the sun is shining again today and already,  it is hot this morning.  The bus door is open and Hogan is lying in the grass, in the sunshine.  He had better get as much grass laying as he can because he will not see any for six months in a matter of weeks!!
The Saskatchewan Roughriders are playing football today so it is a "Go Riders Go" kind of day.  They sooo need to win this game if they have any hope of getting into the playoffs.
Shirley came over this morning and said they were going to take their boat down to Island Lake today and try their luck at fishing.  Since they managed to get plenty the last time they were there, I imagine they will be successful once again.  She asked if John and I wanted to come with them but since the Riders are playing, that would be a "no".   I am not sure where everyone would sit anyway as their boat is good for only three fishermen and since the jeep is not in running order yet, taking our boat is not an option!!  Hopefully, John will get the jeep running this coming week and we can make the trip to Island with Gary who, has never fished there.  His boat is too big to get down to Island so he hasn't had the opportunity to fish for the "gators"!!
I got a call today from one of the RNs at the nursing home asking if I would work the last six hours of her shift tomorrow as she is leaving on vacation to Hawaii and the plane is leaving early Tuesday morning so, they want to travel into Saskatoon Monday evening and get a good night's sleep before heading out. I agreed to do this and  now I am scheduled for work tomorrow.  Woo Hoo, gosh, I haven't been there for a while!!
Gary came over before he left for the trails and told us the vicinity he will be riding in today.  He has been real good about letting us know where he is riding ever since the scare Dave gave us when he had to walk 8 miles out of the bush to his truck after his quad got stuck and his winch piled up on him leaving him stranded in the bush.  We wished him luck and off he went.
It was dark when Gary got back but he had a successful trip bagging 7 prairie chickens and finding what he thinks is a good hunting spot.  Hopefully he has success in that area this year.  His new quad is running well (as it should) and he is more than happy with it.

The trees are changing fast

The riders won their game so everyone in Riderville is happy.
There was no campfire tonight and we relaxed for the evening in front of the TV with John busy on the internet and me reading my book.  Life is good.
