Mornings with Danny and Laura on 91.5 CKPR

Am looking forward to some much needed quiet time tonight. I'll be working at Perfect Fit Lingerie from noon til four...where you can come and get in on the wild card spot for our "Do you Think I'm Sexy?" contest...then it's off to take my little man shopping for back to school stuff. When we get home...it's on the couch with a movie and a monster size bowl of popcorn. Ahhhh. Then the weekend begins and I'll be looking for another day when there might be some relaxing...

I took the kids out for a long walk yesterday and we ended up at Vance Chapman Public School on Huron. We found some good memories there! Matthew looked across the field and saw that the board had placed new play equipment in the yard..and it turns out it's from Balsam Street! The school closed a couple of years ago and Matthew and his friends went there. He was happy to see it, it brought back some good memories for him. I wonder why they didn't take it from Balsam though and send it to the new school, Woodcrest. That would have made sense to me, considering the play equipment they have now is shared by a large number of classes and if I remember correctly, Matt's class gets it for one or two recesses a week. And that's it.

Anyways, it was good to see the equipment up and ready for kids to enjoy!!
