Back from the East

Team Middaugh, four of five, are back home from New Glasgow. Leigh is still in Charlottetown, heading home today.  She was in PEI before Sobey's, came from the Island to curl and back to PEI wrapping up the final details before the 2nd Annual Dominion National Club Championship begins in a few weeks.  If the amount of work that Leigh has done is any indication, this event will be a huge success.  We are proud of you Leigh.

Not the weekend that we were hoping for, close but not really.  Had a great battle against Team Scotland in the "A" semi and again against Team USA in the "C" qualifier but still L's instead of W's.  Thanks to Jim, Marion, committee chairs and the 200 volunteers for hosting such an incredible event.  It is a shame that this spiel won't be on the schedule next year as it is one of the most popular events on the ladies tour.  Driver Bob and all the other drivers who shuttled our team around to various eateries, thank you.  Kudos to Greg and his ice making crew on the incredible ice conditions at the arena.  Definitely the swingiest ice we have ever seen, Shorty would be proud.  Thanks to Team Strong for hosting the non-winners party, fun was had by all but certainly a long plane ride home after the late night. 

One of the positives to come from the trip out East was had on Sunday and Monday at dinnertime in the Rizzo and Middaugh households.  Can't go out East and not bring home some of the local fare, lobster.  Naming the food did not stop Kelly and Emily Middaugh from devouring their seafood. Joe, John, Bob and Fred did not stand a chance against those two hungry kids.  Jo-Ann's tip for ridding the kitchen of the fishy smell is to boil vinegar.  Thanks Jo.

A few days off to recover, do laundry and practice.  Brantford Sunlife starts on Friday and we hope to have more success than this past weekend.  Zones starts up Dec. 11 and 12 in Stroud.  Keep on cheering, we do hear you.
