It may be small to you.....

...but, it would make a difference to me!
Ah, Victoria Day weekend...a long weekend for most...a work weekend for me. I rarely see a long weekend, but I have become accustomed to that scenario.

This weekend may have started off on the wrong foot...but, turned out GREAT! So, I didn't get to see Tommy Gilham & The Chill Billy's. Disappointing, but I am sure to see them again! They have a new CD coming out - YAY!

Saturday...well, I was off until 5pm. Turned out to be hot/humid/and Sunny, and I was okay with that! Actually got to help plant some flowers...okay, I really just picked the stones to go into the flower pots, weeded, turned the soil, and chose the spots where to plant the flowers. I didn't actually "plant." Just to be clear!

4:30 rolls around and I head to the station where I will meet our Route 93 winners and travel to Casino Rama with them to see Lonestar [there are perks to working weekends!] Great concert, BTW. New lead looks and sounds great! And, getting to Rama in a Limo [which was upgraded] never hurts, either.

Sunday was an early start as I headed to Lions Head for a remote. Great people, funny and just all around normal folk. I actually very much enjoyed my remote. AND,...best part...I found SHORTS that actually fit me - ladies golf shorts...go figure - So....I bought 2. Oh, come on...I had to. Do you have any idea how difficult it is for me to find nice shorts that fit right?! Let me tell you...it may never happen again...that's how rare it is. Maybe I should be in their commercials?! LOL
Then...heading home, from what started off to be a raining down pour to fabulous new clothing find (from The Cottage)...I decided to take a short cut home. OK...it only cuts a couple of minutes, but, so what?! So, I turn onto 17B and come across a turtle crossing the road. I almost stop to pick him up, but thought twice. Didn't want to be hissed or snapped at...and the little buggers can move quite fast when they want to! Watch out Hare!....further up the road, I see something right in the line of tire tracks. Is that a camera. Oh crap...what do I do?! There goes my 2 minute lead on getting home! I pull over. Yes, it is a very expensive camera! I pick it up, feeling like a thief...looking in the woods for someone to jump out and accuse me! Nope...I safely pick up the camera and pray that there will be some sort of ID inside. Prayers answered, I left a msg to someone somewhere in Toronto. Please check your messages! I don't want to be holding this camera. Super long story short...I got a call from a beautiful lady that said her husband was frantic & upset! I even traveled to Inglis Falls (where they had stopped) and delivered their unharmed baby. *Footnote here: my son had a similar camera stolen from him a couple of years prior...so, I knew that it would be important for this person to get the camera back. My son, to this day, has not ever seen his camera again!
His wife took a pic of us - hopefully not for evidence ;) - and I gave them my business card. And, I left Inglis Falls with a swollen heart. He was so darn happy to get that camera back. :D THIS...this is a small thing in the whole scheme of life...but, to he and I...it was large and meaningful! So, Henry...enjoy that camera and hope the pic finds its way to Country 93!

To top the weekend off - got to watch a fabulous game between my Love..The Owen Sound Attack vs the ST John Sea Dogs (from my province of birth)...ok, so the Sea Dogs bit us in the chomp in Overtime...but, we will be back tomorrow night!!! Beware the Bear, the Attack are here! Go ATTACK, Go! Come on now...chant everybody: Go Attack, Go! Go Attack, Go! http://www.youtube.com/mix1065owensound
