Spring is in the air! FINALLY!!! Although I was quite sad to
say goodbye to sit skiing, I had an amazing last ski in Panorama with Kate. The
weather was perfect, sunny and extremely warm! I hardly needed my jacket! We
had a pizza party afterwards to draw the season to a close! I must confess I
had “withdrawals” the whole week after, just looking at my sit ski when I went
down stairs (where my sit ski’s live as book shelves and blanket holders at the
moment) made me cry! I know, pathetic! But I’m over that now… Especially when I
went out for my first bike ride of the season (although it’s more like mom
rides her bike and I chase her trying to keep up)!
Fernie isn’t much to look at this time of the year, it’s
just covered in gravel! Once the city cleans everything up and the trees start
to bloom, Fernie shall be restored! The city uses the gravel from the roads to
redo the paths around town, so I’m excited for them to come collect it! They
re-did almost all the paths around Fernie last year, only a few more to go! That
makes it so much easier for me to get out!
This summer I will be volunteering at a day camp for young
disabled children again, so I use the paths to get to work! I have to walk
there, it takes about a half an hour but the walk is beautiful, so I don’t
mind!
I did my yearly ritual of watching “Pride and Prejudice” the
other night, what can I say, I’m like the rest of the teenage girl population
who has a crush on Mr. Darcy! With that said though, I can only stand to watch
it once a year because it’s so long!
I also applied to Camp Winfield (a week long camp for
disabled teens) again this year! Filling out the application forms is a
grueling process, but I survived! Camp Winfield is like my vacation from the
world, as I am not allowed any electronic devices, and mom’s vacation away from
me! So we both benefit! I thought about not going this year, as it is difficult
for me to adjust to having a complete stranger help me in the bathroom and
such, but I guess I’m just stuck to Camp Winfield!
Anyway, there’s a look into my life lately, I hope you
readers are getting nice weather as well! I would also like to say that if you
would like to write me to ask questions or to talk, please don’t hesitate to
email me at: bethefire@hotmail.ca! Bye bye all!
