Bermuda did get a little cool in February-April, I wore long pants and had to use a space heater.
Our good friends, Wayne and Maureen Wakeford, came for Easter break. It was so much fun having them here. They hit the ground running and I believe they saw everything we had planned to show them. Hopefully they will come again before we move back.
I got my Bermudian drivers license at the end of March - perfect score!! It is still strange driving over here.
Tony spent a week in Edmonton (for work) and I had to stay home :(. The students who went with him experienced some lovely winter weather and saw West Edmonton Mall. Elaine, Al and mum drove up to see Tony. He was happy to visit with them.
I went home in May to surprise my family for Debbie's 50th and Mothers Day. Unfortunately my visit was really short and very busy. Andrea threw a wonderful surprise party for Debbie and I surprised everyone there! Josh hosted Mother's Day brunch in his new house (which he rented out, long story), it was so much fun! I met two beautiful babies and snuggled them for hours. Thanks Cindy, Vanessa and Heather for introducing me to your wonderful additions!
Mum/nana and I returned to Bermuda. We had a great flight and an awesome 10 days and then mum got sick. Poor mum ended up in the hospital and was air lifted back to Calgary. As of this writing she is still in the hospital. She was having loads of fun seeing the island, meeting our friends and shopping. We were so happy that she was able to see our new "home" and I think she was too.
Josh came for his first visit to Bermuda. I think he hit everyone of our favourite beaches, took in Harbour Nights, met our Canadian family in Bermuda at a going away dinner, celebrated Canada Day at Warwick Long Beach put on by the Canadian Association, had a delicious dinner at the McPhail's house and is going home with a "little red colour". He is taking nana's wheelchair back with him. I think he was a little disappointed that he couldn't use it to receive special treatment at the hospital lol - silly boy! I miss him already, love it when my boys come but HATE it when they leave.
The online Braille math course I was helping with ended. It was a fantastic opportunity to refresh my Nemeth skills. I worked with an amazing woman who ended up doing the entire exam section because I was busy with mum. I did help a wee bit but not as much as I had planned. This summer I will change up the section I worked on and send it to her to use next year.
Tony has one more week before he is off for the summer. He seems to have enjoyed his first school year at MSA. The grade 12 students wrote their first diploma exams this year and that was a lot of work for Tony. He is loving island life, he swam in the ocean every month this year and gets in as much suntanning as he can. We are both looking forward to Kevin, Karen and Lexie coming for a visit at the end of the month.
Love and miss you all!!!!!
