On to the next big event.....

The Ladies Closing Bonspiel this weekend...

Once the kids hit the road with their dad for Halifax and connecting buses to UNB and St. FX, I began cleaning out all the easter decorations, stripping beds, dusting the bedrooms.... ugh. After lunch, Debbie and I hit the big town of Wolfville on a mission to buy some funky beach accessories in bright colors to make a basket up for the bonspiel. Each of the ladies teams have to donate a basket for the auction table. In a half brained effort, we came up with a beach, cooler, and accessories theme. Wolfville and its three gift shops were fun but had nothing that fit the bill. Jelly cupboard had amazingly fun dip and spreader bowls, neat purses and beautiful dishes, but nothing that could spark the least bit of excitement for this basket. Our next stop was Wheatons, in search for funky glasses and turn our beach theme into a wine cooler theme. But alas, no funky glasses..... we are just a little too early. BUT we did find the sweetest "Daisy" serving dish with some really nice little dessert plates. A few "yellow" accessories and voila... a really sweet basket to sell tickets on this weekend.

So that is task number one....

Now I have to repair a kilt Debbie and I took apart so that it fits me better. Our costumes for next weekend's bonspiel which has the "Around the World" theme, will be Scotland. Therefore, we are all dressing in kilts, which is ironic because we are the only team that wear skirts to curl, in our club. Kind of appropriate, don't ya think!

I have gotten MSN messages from both girls and they are both home safe and sound and ready for the next month of exams and other challenges.
