Updates: June 16 – 22

Well, this weekend I’m heading off to visit my family in a neighbouring city. I haven’t been back in a long time, so I’m looking forward to getting out of the city for some rest and relaxation! I’ll be playing some golf with my brother and dad and sharing some awesome beer and wine, and it will be great to see the family!

Weekends with the family is one of the most fulfilling and heartwarming feeling. There’s nothing more relaxing than that. Thanks for the links.

Have fun mate. I liked the part about the beer 🙂 No plans for Canada as of yet but I’m sure there will be a party or 2 we get invited to. Cheers

Hope you had a great time golfing last weekend! Sounds like an awesome weekend. Last weekend we dealt with a wet basement due to flash flooding in our area, so your weekend definitely sounds better than mine! It was still a good weekend, though, and we saw Superman which was entertaining. Next weekend I will be going up north for a day which should be fun even though it’s a quick little trip.
