Thumbs down to whoever destroyed the planters in front of Brimont and ArtsForward this weekend. The Girl Guides and the Horticultural Society planted them and they were just beautiful! Luckily, I don’t think any of the other big planters were destroyed.

Summer is off to a great start. Spent a week in Winnipeg with my sister from Australia and her grandson, a fine young man of 16. Side trips out to Steinbach Mennonite Museum, the Pembina Hills and Lower Fort Gary. (Special event there- I presided at the wedding of my oldest niece and her beloved, am now an accredited marriage commissioner, just in case I have too much free time!) Once again toured the Museum of Human Rights, the Forks and bookstores. All in all, it was a well rounded holiday.

School is out! It is strange not to hear the children playing on the school’s playground. The parking lot at the high school is empty. Graduations have taken place.
