Finally a day of sun!  Wow, it was great to feel some warm weather ...
Went outside to help my dad re-design and re-build the pond in the back yard.  Then, did some painting around the garden.  Monica and Jack came for a visit and brought a tasty venison dinner.  We rounded out the day with a rousing game of Michigan Rummy ... that was a few hours worth of entertainment, and a great way to spend a Sunday night as the rain moved in again.

What a night of excitement ... drove out to Vancouver to meet up with Lisa before heading to the local Five Point pub to watch game 5 of the Canucks/Sharks series.  Brad, Iona and Cecilia all showed up, and the pub was on fire with energy as the Canucks tied it up with mere seconds left in the 3rd period.  Finally, into double overtime, Bieksa buries the puck from the blue line to take the win!  The pub erupted into cheers and suddenly everybody in the bar were our new best friends.  On to the Stanley Cup finals! Here's Lisa and I midway through the game ... in this photo, we were still waiting for the Canucks to tie it up:
