Another month gone by. Work was fine. Jacqui went to Funzone with her class on Tuesday. It's a place that has a skating rink, bowling alleys and video games. The kids really enjoyed it and Jacqui went down memory lane, tying a whole bunch of skates. She hadn't done that in a while and her arms were sore the next day! She said that some of the kids were pretty good at skating, while others were obviously just learning. The rest of the week was quiet, and so was our weekend; and it was fine by us. Jacqui is just getting over her cold, mine is still pretty much there, so not doing much for 2 days was OK. We spent the afternoon at the Crowne Plaza on Thursday and went out for lunch at the beach on Friday, after a nice long walk on the beach. Saturday, we went to the marina for lunch. The temperature was cool, as it only reached low 20's, so we sat in the sun to eat. We won't be doing that in a few weeks. We had dinner at home every night of the weekend as we had gone out a lot earlier in the week, when our friend from Kuwait was here visiting for a few days. It was nice to have company, even though we had to work.
