How Adele was named

I have been asked how did I chose the name of my little one, was she named after the singer.. and I thought well now is a good time to explain.

When I was 16, I had a teacher named Remi Maisonneuve. He was our computer teacher, he was the one that allowed me to explore and test out computer programs in high school, aka the beginnings of Photoshop, and a hand held scanner. He always encouraged me to test and look outside the box.

He had three kids, Sarah, Joel and Adele. I used to babysit the kids as well, and always loved the name Adele from the moment I heard it.

Time moved on, and graduation, then I moved away from the area, but I always made a point to say hi to Remi, when I would go home, and tell him of where my computer knowledge that he first started was taking me.

Discovering that I was pregnant then realizing I was to have a little girl, many names came flooding to my brain. Angelina, Isabella, but none seemed right.. then one night as my little person rolled in my belly, the name Adele came racing to my brain.

I never had the chance to tell Remi, that my daughter was actually named after his, as he and his family moved away, but perhaps one day I will get to tell him... how one person can influence even years later!

Spring National for CAV

So Spring Nationals occurred a couple of weeks ago, and it was awesome! I met so many wonderful and amazing people, truly made me feel privilege to be apart of such an amazing family. I took just about 1000 pictures. Many can be seen on our Rimini's website.

May Long weekend

This is a busy weekend ahead..
We have Spring National Meeting for the motorcycle group I ride with. Presidents from all over the country are joining together in Victoria to meet and discuss events that the CAV will partake in.

This weekend is also Rodeo weekend at the Luxton fair groups.. should be a blast..Took tonnes of amazing photos last year, and hope to repeat..

I don't have Adele this weekend.. my little one is sick again, and has been coughing and runny nose for the past 2 days, as well as a another fever... It seems like this will never end.. She is also tired of being sick, and it's heartbreaking when she askes you to make it stop.

The weather was supposed to be amazing this weekend.. and just looking at the weather report.. WHAT THE HELL.. SHOWERS.. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO that is not the correct answer for the May long weekend.. GRRRRRRR

Food

I have a thing for food.. it makes me happy. And also finding a good meal for a fantastic price makes it so much more delicious. So when my office mate had her final day in the office (sad face) we went to "The Dish" OMG. It's a small cafe style restaurant, in the industrial area where I work.

I ordered the crispy chicken burger.... and this is what I got!






Price : $12

I will add that the fries were so good, and gravy was nice and thick and intense flavor.

Everyone else at the table very much enjoyed their meals.. Will I go back.. OH HELL YA!!!

Weekend of defiant

I love my daughter, she is my whole world, and can't imagine life without her... BUT there are times where I could have SOLD her to the gypsies... and this weekend was one of them!!!!!

She is so smart, and knows what she is doing... she knew how to push buttons, and does it so well.. She is stubborn, and strong headed. She wants to win, and in life in general is a good thing... but when it comes to winning with mommy, mommy usually comes out on top. Notice the word "usually". This weekend I was again pushed to my end, to the point where my roommate looked at me and said GO.

I found the jeans that had a belt on, put my boots on - without socks - jacket and helmet and left to cool my nerves... and it was just the one thing I needed to calm down.
Once the anger was gone, I headed home, to butt heads to my lovely little angel~ with pitch fork hidden.

I love my daughter, no question about that.. but today I am happy that she is with her father.. there are bonuses of sharing custody.. and right now this is one of them.
