Adventures of Mandogrl!

Well, I can't believe it but my tulips are coming up. Spring has truly sprung!!! Well, next to my house anyways. I couldn't believe my eyes on Saturday morning the 25th of March, little green buds caught my attention. Sure enough I counted ten bunches of tulips bursting from the ground. These are bulbs I believe that you need to take up, I'm not sure. I also noticed that my bleeding heart was also poking its way up through the ground.

We got into the skiing in the month of March. We finally have good conditions to ski. We bought a memebership to Whaleback Nordic Ski Club that will be good for next year too. We have been skiing nonstop since then. We have had a few family outings and a few night skis with friends. Thanks to Donny we have a few pictures to share. We went one beautiful Sunday morning but we forgot our camera.

We did a lot of singing out this fall and winter. After the flood there was a benefit at the Arts and Culture Centre. We sang there for the first time. It was a great experience. Our Church had a fundraiser this winter and we played for an hour there. The Intensive Core French class had a fundraiser at the Knights of Colombus and we sang for that. The Hospital Foundation had a fundraiser, "Country Night", at the Arts and Culture Centre and we sang for that. It was finally our chance to sing Iris DeMent. The Legion had a Newfie Night and we sang for that. Last week was the St. Patrick's Day Cabaret at the Arts and Culture Centre and we got to sing there too. Kay and Joe came up from Burgeo to accompany us and it turned out to be great. Here are a few pictures of St. Patricks' Day show at the second stage, Arts and Culture Centre (poster, rehearsal, practice in the back, onstage, finale ).

I can't believe that Marigold turned 9 years old on March 10th!!!!!! That's amazing. How time flies again. In keeping with the olympics that had just finished, Marigold had an Olympic Skating Party at the Stephenville Dome.

I can't believe how fast time flies!!!!!! When you're having fun that is. I guess we had a lot of fun and excitement this winter because it only seem liked a day. January proved to be a month of little snow and sad weather for skating (the rink) and skiing so we waited that one out. Hockey Day in Stephenville was the only exciting thing that happened during that month. I found a couple of more pictures of hockey day in Canada and here they are.
