the annex

august has become a flurry of social activities. i can't recall a month that was so full...

this weekend is wolfe island music festival, on sunday we're going to camp iawah, then home again for brendan's nana's birthday celebration.

next weekend we're going to see arcade fire on toronto island, and on sunday we'll have lunch with my family before going to women's art festival in city park - which is the anniversary of me and b's first date.

the 3rd weekend on august i'm driving up to mississauga with nancy to attend megan's bridal shower

the 4th weekend i'm preaching at next - my second sermon ever. i've been thinking on my topic since june, but i really need to start forming it on paper.

then the first weekend on september us lorimers are going camping again, this time to bon echo. we were clever enough to not wait til the last minute to book a site.

for the most part we'll still have time on weekends for relaxing, and i'm hoping to go to visit beckie's cottage at some point. my lovely northern friend has found a job in lower canada. in quebec city to be exact. it's a one year contract at an english high school, but she's been wanting to break into the quebec circuit for quite some time, so this is EXCELLENT. i'm glad that she'll be closer by and visiting her will be less expensive and less unpredictable.

yes indeedy, august will be a full month, but extremely enjoyable. in amongst all our activities we need to find time to get caught up with friends and family. so to start we're going to joy's place for dinner. we haven't seen them since that day in june.

they've begun renovating the m centre's front lawn. they've been doing a lot of digging. i'm looking forward to the end product, i think it's going to look fabulous.

it's not about the money.
