- We had back to back camping trips in this time period. We had planned an 'adult only' camping weekend, with another couple, but they had to back out at the last minute. Barry and I went any way, and we had a really good time. Our first camping trip without kids in over 20 years...
- Our boy turned 21.
- Another trip to the woods, this time the 3 of us went. We snagged a last minute spot at Bow Valley and it ended up being an epic site.

- When it's still chilly outside but the snow is beginning to melt a trip to the garden centre does wonders for the soul.
- We saw Pretty Woman. The first show of the new Broadway Across Canada season. The main characters had amazing voices. I was curious how this story would become a musical. I forgot how sexual this story was, which is funny. After all, the premise of the story is, Edward picks up a hooker to be his fake girlfriend for the week he's in town...
- Making a mega stuff oreo cookie epic.
- Date nights, just the 2 of us, are getting more common again.
