Hello all!!!!
Wow...I go away to the lake for a weekend...and it takes me two days to get all the updates read lol. And it was a buys Monday at work. Had to go home over lunch and change...I was just too cold in my capris and little tom shoes in bare feet. So I have long pants on...and actually put on socks and shoes...as my feet were absolutely freezing - even with the heater on under my desk
My feet are silently screaming as they don't like socks...or being cold...so it was one or the other...I picked socks for warmth. Hopefully it warms up here for the weekend again.
@Sue M we heard about the earthquakes. I have family in the lower mainland, so a quick check in with them to see how it affected them. They were all good.
@Realfoodfans...I love that memorial Bear!!!!! What an awesome heirloom. I made a couple of quilts for some family members with our favorite clothes from my mil who passed away a few years ago now. They may not mean much to anyone else, but to those who have those items...they are priceless!
@schumigirl Loved your chicken story. That sounds like something I regularly do
I love to cook...but there is also the odd meal...that well...maybe we do end up eating a larger evening snack
@Lynne G ..wow i hope you don't have to build an ark soon with all the rain you have had there. We have had our fair share in the last few weeks...it was needed here. And I'm a little tired of overcast cold windy days. I hope once the rain goes, the humidity doesn't get too bad. We are hoping to see that spiderman movie too. Our 18 yr old son has loved spiderman since he was olde enough to point to him in walmart when he was just a young kiddo. I even had to find a spiderman tie for him to wear to his highschool graduation. He wore one to his kindergarten graduation...and one to his highschool graduation. He loved it!!!!
@Robo56 ...yikes, I would hate to also listen to all those fireworks. I sure hope any animals in your area get a break soon from all of them.
@bobbie68 - What great pictures of the trip so far. Sounds like you and the family are having a great time!!!
Well...toodles for now...I guess this pile of paperwork won't sort and get onto a spread sheet by it's self. Have a great day everyone!!!
Just posting a picture of sitting around the firepit enjoying the outdoors before being bitten alive by all the mosquitos
Another lake dweller!!! How lovely....glad you had a nice trip and hope your weather warms up for you....you know I hate the cold too!!!
Yes, the chicken was the first disaster I`ve had in quite a while.....won`t happen again....I take too much pride in my food to let it!!!
Hope you got your paperwork done...….
Happy Tuesday afternoon Sans family
It’s pretty hot here today 92 and high humidity. Had dentist appointment and a couple stores to stop at today.
Did some investigating on water flossers and decided on the Waterpik Ultra. So picked that up today.
Well, we still have had fireworks going every night. They stopped at 11 last night so that’s better then midnight. I figured people would be running out by now.
Sounds like it was a day Schumi for dentist appointments. I had some work done today and permanent crown put on. Hope you don’t lose your tooth.
Let me know what you think of the water flossers....I`m curious.....yes, think the back tooth will have to come out at some point, but as long as it`s not causing issues, he`s happy to leave it.....for now!!! My gag reflex will go into overdrive when that comes out!! Congrats on the crown....always feels good to get them completed......
Hope your fireworks stop soon......not fun listening to that every night.....
Our Corey turned 18 today. I thought I'd be sad, but the only thing I can feel is excited for him. He's grown into such a kind hearted and caring young man....I know he's going to do great things.
@schumigirl I think it's great that you put the time and effort into selecting gifts for your dearest friends. I have a core of girlfriends that I've been with for 37 years now (wow....that doesn't seem possible!) and nothing makes me happier than finding the perfect gift for them.
Belated Happy Birthday to Corey!!! Yes, seeing them grow and thrive is the best isn't it!!!! He sounds a lovely young man and one to be proud of......
I`ve spoken about my groups of friends here for years.....they are such a part of our lives, can`t imagine being without most of them......one who is one of my best friends now, we met over 20 years ago when both husbands were in the UAE.….we disliked each other on sight......lol.....but there had been a misunderstanding.....it usually is!!! But we both saw something not very funny one day.....not funny for most people.....but her and I both crumpled with laughter, much to the annoyance of those around us, and a new friendship was forged on that one incident.
But, all my groups of friends can come together which is nice.....usually we have a big get together on Boxing Day at our home......and they all get on well...….but yes, most of my friends are very long standing. It`s good to have them isn't it......and yes, we love finding each other the perfect gift...…..
Have a great Wednesday....….
To Pooh’s Corey!
He’s now 18 but will always be mom’s little boy
Our kids grow up too fast don’t they...
They do don't they!!! You have seen it more times than me having had more boys.....but it`s a blessing of course, but I still love to think of that little boy running around....….
Schumi it sounds odd but I can’t tell if I fell back to sleep or not! Went shopping, looked at Pandora. I had an email sale flyer from them and saw a cute white enamel daisy earrings on sale that I thought would be perfect. But of course they didn’t have them. Then I thought of a mani gift certificate but she only goes for a mani if she has a special occasion otherwise she does it herself. I finally decided on a gift card to a store she likes!
I love a spa day! There’s a lovely one in Whistler. After massage you go outside the grounds are a beautiful alpine meadow. They have Adirondack chairs, hammocks, hot and cold plunge pools, steam bath and sauna. It’s a Scandinavian type spa.
Hope your back tooth will be ok.
Oh I hate that!!! I generally sleep like a baby, thankfully......I like to wake up feeling refreshed after a good sleep...….
I do kind of like spa days, but I get a little bored......so I only go if a friend asks me along.....I won`t go into a sauna or hot tubs, or water really...….so it`s just the treatments for me when I go, and usually a champagne lunch of course.....lol...….earrings sound nice, shame you couldn't get them.
Hey Lynne...….just saw you pop in........
So, went round to a friends house who have been restructuring their home...…..they`ve finally completed their master bathroom and it is stunning...….they knocked a large wall down and incorporated one of their extra rooms to make it absolutely huge!!!
Some of you who may have read a previous trip report of mine might remember the huge shower we had when we were given the Presidential Suite one visit......well, it`s similar to that only slightly more gadgets and gizmos.....it is gorgeous......and huge!!! Tom looked at me and said er no......lol......well, we only redid our master bath not long back, so no changes there, but this is beautiful.
Back home and it is chucking it down with rain...…..again.
Won`t be going far today...…..
Salmon and avocado for lunch...….and home made Thai Fishcakes for me and good old fish and chips for my two guys...…..
Have a great Wednesday....…..
