All Work and No Play...

   Well you know how the rest of that goes. ... So we are taking some time off.  We have a cabin trailer which we bought 3 years ago. It's about time we used it don't you think?  We are going to the lake for a family reunion.

  It will be the first time we leave our son on his own. He is seventeen and he will be going to university in the fall so I guess this is a trial run.

   He finally found himself a job. It is only for two weeks but it will give him some spending money. He is helping a landscaping business lay sod for the centennial our province is celebrating this year.  At first he was just picking up the pieces of sod and laying them in place. He would kneel down each time so his knees were sore the first day. He was also tired since they  worked from 7:30am until 6:30pm.  I don't think it took him long to go to sleep that night. :o) The next day he just lifted them up and then bent over to lay them down. I don't think he was as sore that night.

    I guess he had a bit of a change from laying the sod today. He dug some trenches around the trees for watering. He also got home about 5:30pm because they ran out of sod. He has tomorrow off but is working again on Saturday. He should have some extra muscles when he gets done. :o)  I believe it is a good way to start adulthood , doing physical labor.  Good for mind and body.

   Well everyone have a good weekend and I'll be back on Monday.
