1.My hairball played a practical joke on me and it was a good one. I think I will save the details for a blog on its own
2.This weekend Nevada gets to enter her vegetable and flowers in the fair. I hope she gets a ribbon and or cash prize.
3.We have had two cooler days now after weeks of record breaking heat and sun. Still no rain so we still have to water though
4.I have been doing 4 hours daily of heavy digging and yard work and man I tell you it works way better then going to a gym.
5.The eldest offspring is still bringing over his non g/f. Why won't they just admit they are back together ?
6.On Tuesday my dad will have been gone for 10 years. The older you get it seems time goes by much quicker.
7.Last night the Canadian Snowbirds did a fly over of our city and I only heard the jets go by. They are flying over 100 cities to celebrate 100 years of flight.
8.I've been having a hard time finding a good book to read, any suggestions?
9.I know today is someones birthday and I can't think for the life of me whose it is. Normally I am very good at remembering birthdays even those of someone that might have mentioned it in passing. So if its your birthday,,,,,Happy Birthday!
10.What with the tinder dry conditions here and the fire hazard at extreme. I saw someone throw a light cigarette out their car window. I wanted to chase them down and tell them off but I didn't... There are so many fires burning in our province right now, our resources are spread pretty thin. They flew in fire-fighters from New Zealand and Australia...
11.I think we might be going to Thailand for 5 months in the new year and I really should be doing more planning right now but strangely I just haven't felt into it...
12.I think I mentioned the heat,well to top that off the air-conditioning went in the van. That is probably why I didn't do number 10.. Not sure how much it will cost to get it fixed. I am kind of hoping it will magically fix itself.
13.We made the most awesome deep-fried Salmon the other day. We set up in the shade of the carport and man it was delicious. Hairball had got the fryer at a garage sale and we hadn't used it yet as we don't normally cook with oil, but there is something satisfying about eating unhealthy. WE also did onion rings and french fries
So folks that's about it in a nutshell. Happy August to you all...
Cool - I have something to read...I'll be back to comment properly but you made me hungry with #13.
ReplyDeleteno# 13 looks very tasty!! the Kiterunner is supposed to be an excellent book , awaiting my turn!
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree with you. As you grow older time does fly by. My Mom's been gone 12 years, and I remember it like yesterday....
ReplyDeleteThailand? Sounds intriguing!!! Why did you decide to go there?
It's cooled down here somewhat. Thank Goodness!!! It was just too hot. Duke said that if he wanted it to be this hot, we would have stayed in Las Vegas! LOL.
Carol taps her foot impatiently.........
ReplyDeleteIt is an excellent book as is its sequel ' A Thousand Splendid Suns' any other ideas?
ReplyDeleteWell, as we pretty much exhausted the east and west coast hot spots.. Thailand is a beautiful country with history and awesome beaches.
ReplyDeleteI want to see as much of this world as I can. If I was a millionaire I would travel 12 months of the year : )
we heard there was record heat up that way. my son lives in vanouver wa. and said people were melting. I am so happy to see you took the time to write something for us. i hope this makes you forget about the hair cutting thing.
ReplyDeleteI think I know why you go to al these exotic places. you are a secret spy family and are whisked off at different times of the year to solve some big secret espionge crime before it happens. so the secret canadian government has discovered some devilish episodes about to go on in Thailand, and has decided to send you and your family to solve this series of criminal activity. the fly over was to let you know they are ready for you. well, I am on to you now. I dont think the thialand criminals read your blog, so your secret is safe with me. or with multiply and its freinds list.
hmmmm, i see you havent commented on that last comment. so i was right. YOU ARE SECRET AGENT SPIES! ALL IN ONE FAMILY!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell I didnt' want to tell anyone, but we are with the 'liquor tasting board'. We are sent to taste, in excess, all the local varieties of liquor in hot sandy beaches of the world. It can be a very tough job but someone has to do it. Everyone has to do what they can to make the world a happier place.
ReplyDeleteAre you ever going to share #1 with us? If I had 4 hours before dark every day I'd try your digging workout - I have a LOT of brush still to clear. I don't think Harrison and BB are really back together, I imagine they are just booty call buddies....and I would comment on the rest of them but the blogowner is on my Messenger and I'd rather talk to her instead of answering her blog :)
