Today is your day Boomer! "It's a dog's life." Have you heard this expression before and what does it mean? Well, the official definition implies if you, Boomers, live a dog's life, it is bad....it is supposed to be a miserable, depressing existance. But not for my dog. She looks kind of sad in this picture, but only because she can't decide which ball to chew or roll around on. I brought home 6 used tennis balls from the courts yesterday and gave them to her all at once! Poor girl, she is just confused. Add this to the bucket of balls outside(where there are 13 more!) and you can only say this dog is spoiled. And....I throw balls for her twice a day in the backyard and she gets at least one long walk, sometimes two, every day! Also yesterday, she received a brush and trim from my wife which always results in a milkbone reward and she had a dog friend come and stay for three days earlier in the week. It's a dog's life....huh?! Just change the definition. I think I want a dog's life and so would many other Boomers I predict. Cheers!
Today is your day Boomer! Well, yesterday was my day! My long-awaited dream of building and opening a new high school gym in Summerland came true! 550 students watched, smiled and vigourously applauded as the SD67 school trustees officially cut the ribbon and opened the facility. The kids played in their new gym, in a so-called Rocket Rally, right after that and then 200 more mostly-Summerlanders attended a two-hour opening fundraiser that evening. There were people, young and old, every where: going on tours, eating food, watching volleyball and basketball, listening to speeches, and investing money in 30 community-donated silent auction items and a huge 50/50 raffle...organized by the school's Parent Advisory Council. The final fundraiser tally was about 7000$...made in only two hours! Congratulations students and staff of SSS. Your new gym is finally here, the first new one since 1951! Play on....
