All Is Lost

Unfortunately as of yesterday evening, the Edmonton Oilers lost the Stanley Cup to the Carolina Hurricanes :( Spirits were very low as our whole party watched the celebrations (for the other team) in almost silence.

Also lost last night, with the end of the hockey season and subsequent Oilers playoff run, was Dave's beard. Well at least Erin has something to be happy about. However, I'm still doing a double take every time I see him.

Done Like Dinner

It has taken a month, but our deck is finally done and the BBQ is all settled in. Now all we need is a few nice sunshiny days to enjoy it and perhaps some patio furniture - but that will all come in time. We did christen our new structure with a dinner of hotdogs and iced tea. It was a little breezy and we had to re-light the BBQ four times, but we enjoyed every second of it.
