Field Trips and Riding on School Busses......

I had the pleasure of going with my son's grade 2 class on a field trip to the airport....although a relatively a short bus ride it brought back those dreaded memories of riding the bus for 13 years!  Kindergarten was the best year as I was picked up right at my door.  The other years not so good!  We had one bus driver who was never on time and turned a blind eye to the high school boys, who often were involved in a fight of some sort!  Our last driver was so old and possibly blind - he frequently forgot to drop me off despite all of the shouts for him to stop.  We (the grade 12 girls) used to send the token grade 11 boy to the front of the bus when we were crossing Hwy 12 (there was no overpass then) to make sure that it was safe for him to cross!  Enough reminiscing - I survived the field trip and it's good to know that the bus drivers have improved!

I was at CancerCare this am and my blood is holding.  Actually my platelets are up to 30.  The really good news is that I don't have to go back till the end of the month!  My energy level is up a little so I am thankful for that!

This weekend we have the Spring Sprint - and so far if Sylvia is right the weather should be decent!  The kids are excited and so happy to have some of their friends join our team!  Thank you to all our supporters who are helping us reach our goal!

Once again thank you for all the prayers, support and encouragement!

Love ya,

Karen
