Transformations

Hanging with my Hayes family today…
2 of the sisters grimm,
the best of brother-in-laws and the nephews,
once young boys – today young men…

From walking in the pouring rain,
first along King for a special Italian imported salt,
then to the market for PHO,
wandering through streets and graffiti alleys back to wellington…

Meeting up with my mate and new family member Mark,
watching the Olympics, sharing personal life experiences…

Off to the Academy for a bite and a game of pool.

Grateful today for
transformations…
Anna – so, so good to see you,
Sam + Jack – youthful, smart, and oh, so much fun to hang with!
and for times with family.
xxoo to ALL – my family.

Case Study 1

The day is spent preparing for tonight’s class.
Case study presentation, written up hand in,
and a test…Yikes!

Way too anxious…
volunteering to go first in the presentations…
my case study misses much,
and is ripped apart.

Grateful today for
the feedback on my case study,
and for getting through today…whew!

Cosmic timing

Cosmic and Chrisco coming into town today…yay!!

A leisurely morning…
breakfast for two,
a spec of work and a workout…

Uncertain as to whether we will sail with Cosmic + Chrisco…
Timing is cosmic.
A sail to IYC for dinner,
and a lovely time aboard the twomates.

Grateful today for
cosmic timing,
a perfect summer Sunday on the water,
and for the beautiful sunset colour on the lake.

Twomates

Our usual Saturday morning routine…not today.
The morning starts relaxed and quietly.
Breakfast #1 – fruit salad, after sipping a few glasses of water.

A morning walk to the market…
we encounter an unexpected group…

Along our walk and over breakfast, considering customer experience and interactive banking environments…

Late afternoon takes us to Clairville for a lovely dinner, and Olympic watching…
Sunset is onboard the Twomates…

Grateful today for
a beautiful summer day,
Ma + Pa Hayes – always model hosts,
and for a beautiful sunset aboard the Twomates.

The Olympics Opening Ceremonies are such exciting, joyful and optimistic events…
Commercials speak to hard work, endurance, victory, and to moms everywhere.

A P+G ad gets me leaky eyed!?!

Grateful today for
the opening of the summer games – go, team Canada, go!
our antenna picking up CTV, in HD, over the air,
and for a lovely dinner with my mate in the courtyard.
