Barley Dust --- Itchy!

Have you ever had to shovel barley from a bin? If not, let me fill you in... It is hot and dusty. Afterwards you become very itchy for days and finally after vigorous scrubbing and large quantities of soap, you are no longer itchy, but you have sensative skin. Sounds fun, doesn't it?
Well, my 16th birthday went over well (July 28th). I am waiting now for the drivers test in September. Wish me good luck! I received a cell phone for my birthday and some money from my aunt and uncle, and my grandparents. Now I am becoming proficient at text messaging.
Our trip to Calgary was fun. I did get a watch, but no digital camera, oh well! It is really hard to get a hotel room anywhere in Alberta during the week... we went from Calgary to Kindersley in search of a hotel room to stay the night in on the way back! While in Kindersley we stayed at the Kindersley Inn, which is a great place if you like watersliding and nice rooms. I was impressed. While we stayed, there was a thunderstorm which was quite big, I enjoyed it immensly.
I finished reading Harry Potter, which I loved and finished in 3 days. It was intense and fast paced, I couldn't put it down! Some incredible twists and quite a bit was revealed, I won't say anything though because I don't want to ruin it in case anyone is still reading it.
Right now I have most of my school supplies and I am waiting to get to Saskatoon to get new reading material. I am sure burning through books at an alarming rate. I also need a haircut.
Before I know it, it will be time for school, which will be a disappointment, but I still enjoy returning to school. Grade 11, wow. I need to work hard this coming year. A few more supplies and I'll be ready to begin school again.
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer, it is nearly half finished on the calendar. I have been enjoying myself and doing a lot of mowing. I am enjoying the brief reprieve from the heat, although I love the heat, it was definately time to take a break.

Enjoy Summer,
Edward
