What a busy weekend! The Tulip Festival started this weekend. Tang and I went to see Great Big Sea on Friday night. They were great, although it was incredibly cold outside. In a six degrees of separation moment, Tang's old roommate, Kathleen Edwards, was the opening act. In an "only in Canada" moment, they continually interrupted the shows in order to update everyone on the Ottawa/Toronto hockey game. The cheers when Ottawa won rivaled the cheers for the band.

My Mom and stepfather had an art show open this weekend, so on Saturday I went and checked it out. Their work is fabulous as always. If you haven't already, check it out at Touch of Sky Studio.Then we went to the Tulip Festival again, this time to see Sarah Harmer. The weather was thankfully a little nicer, and the show was really good. The people bundled in their winter jackets and ordering alcoholic slushies kinda scared me though. A hot toddy would have been more appropriate, I think.

Mother's Day, I went out for lunch with my Mom and Grandma, and then went to the hospital to visit with my Grandpa. He is doing much, much better. They moved him out of ICU, and Sunday he was using a walker to go up and down his room while declaring that he was ready to go home now. He isn't big on this mandatory confinment thing. :P While I was gone, my new (well, new to us, anyways) refrigerator was delivered! Yay! A seperate freezer, wohoo! Sad, isn't it, how excited I get over kitchen appliances? It's a sickness.
