Time flies when we keep busy. So much has been going on here right in our neighbourhood. Two weeks ago we drove to Oshawa - about 60 minutes east of where we live, where we conducted a seven hour career workshop for eight single adults. They were a great group and we had a good time. That was Saturday - on Sunday we left mid morning to drive to London to be there for sacrament meeting at 11:30 and afterwards a presentation to two wards combined relief society and priesthood meetings where we outlined the services available to the job seekers through the career workshop. This was a full pleasant day.
This has been a week of television keeping us informed of the G 20 and G 8 meetings here, with protests and riot police, hot on the heels of the conclusion of those meetings ws the visit from the Queen of England. Sunday was the famous Queens Plate Horse Race at the Woodbine Race track - which is one block away and just across the street from our condo. Sunday afternoon we watched as literally hundreds of cars streemed into the race track parking lot and onto the grass. We attended a baptism at 5:00 and then our temple preparation class at 7:00. Another full day.
The bad news of the week -happened at a community centre right next the community garden where our friend Jackie O'Toole has a plot and Saturday there were a group of boys playing basketball at the community centre when there was a fight over the basketball. One boy pulled a gun and shot another boy in the head. Wow. now that is a little unsettling.
Tomorrow is our July Career Workshop at the Employment Resource Centre where we will give two full days of instruction. Bye for now. God Bless! Elaine
