So, Sunday was another lovely day sprinkled intermittently with rain. They were doing something with power lines that day, so we had no power in the morning, but thankfully had all been invited over to a neighbour's for pancake breakfast! Mmm mmmm!! It was delightful, and after we were all stuffed we went for a lengthy walk that began along the road, continued through the woods, and ended with a wind-blown, salt-sprayed sojourn along the beach. It was fairly uneventful, but enjoyable in it's simplicity. The forest part of the walk reminded me a bit of being back at Saugeen Bluffs. I miss Sammy.
The rest of the day was spent either in games (such as Boggle, which I owned! [;)]), eating (Camino chocolate is delicious (hot or bar) ...), or drawing on the birthday boy (after midnight, when it actually was his birthday), all by the comfort of a crackling fire.
We got up Monday, heavy with the knowledge that we would be leaving that day, and were soon on our way. The trip home was less anticipatory than the way there, but we enjoyed it nevertheless, with yours truly (meaning ME) providing the musical soundtrack, if not the prosaic (relating to prose) one.
In other news, I played goal at noon-hour shinny today and "PUT THAT DOG DOWN" so many times; it was awesome!!! The best save was when a guy had a break away, started deking to his back-hand and had me going across a bit, but then he went back forehand, and I managed to (while almost doing the splits) get my left pad on it. He got the rebound, and me being sitting down I started trying to wiggle across and block as much net as I could while he held onto the puck, waiting for a good shot. He finally shoots ... and it was going top shelf, but I got my goal stick in the way! It was just spectacular (and a bit lucky, possibly) ... Too bad I don't play like that all the time, but maybe the day will yet come. It was nice being able to play Thursday (as my classes today were cancelled) as there was another goalie, and enough guys for most of the time to play 3-on-3 with a sub each side.
As always, go Leafs go!!! I predict a 5-2 win over Boston today.
Editted to add: Okay, so I was a bit off in that prediction ... who'd have thought that Thomas could play 2 good games in a row?!?
