Stop, You're Making Me Bust My Stitches

Sunday night we were at volleyball when a friend who had recently had jaw reconstruction surgery shuffled in carrying a teddy bear and "Get Well Soon" balloon. He had come to visit. With Gauge.

Gauge eyed up this brightly coloured, floating orb, keeping it in his sight while visiting and volleyball went on around him. Then his dad got the brilliant idea to start kicking and head-butting it into the air. Well... if that wasn't just the best idea ever, Gauge thought. He giggled and laughed so loud that everyone on the court could hear him above the volleyball noises.

Finally our friend says between laughs,  "Stop, you're making me bust my stitches."

At the end of the evening, he gave Gauge the balloon to bring home. Such a thoughtful kid!

Cruzin' the Green Mile

Something I have never done in my 9 years in Saskatoon, cruised down 8th St. Its the thing to do when you're in high school, not when you're my age.

But last night, after The Roughriders won the Grey Cup; our first in 18 years, that is exactly what we did. What a night in Saskatchewan. Words are some how not sufficient to express the excitement in our province and for Saskatchewanians nation wide have for our team. But videos... they can tell the story. I've attached a few for your viewing pleasure. I apologize in advance if your ears hurt afterwards. There is lots of screaming.

Do you bleed green?

While not in the cards to travel to TO to cheer them on it person, I want to wish the Green and White the best this Sunday at the Grey Cup! Go Riders Go!
