Beginning August Catch Up

Aug 2nd

All's quiet here! But this was the first time they weren't glued to me in the basement TV room. Guess they're ticked at being left behind and not at the cottage fishing too!


Aug 3rd

Myyyy but it's quiet here without Wheeler and Griffin! Just stopping in to feed Jake, who has the whole floor to stretch and play on to himself!



OK I have to share this as I think it's awesome. Found it on Proutopia - the Flock.


Aug 4th

Dang it's already too warm for my liking to have breakfast outside! UGH!!!!


The other day I stopped at Pat's to show them my car and Amanda and Astro showed up.   So had a brief change from pet sitting.





Today while checking the game is on I'm trying to learn tatted Interlocking Rings by Karen Bovard and think I did not bad the first time!


YUMMY!!!!!  All my favourites together, but a little heavy on the seasoning today!  Salmon, brussel sprouts, yams, mushrooms and onions! Ohhh and the dogs ate their supper too!


Aug 6th

Ohhhh I've missed the Forks lots and glad I ventured here last month and found the Common and also these comfy chairs.  So relaxing with my iced coffee and reading in the breeze!


Aug 7th

Ooooohhhhhhh back to breakfasts on the balcony - heavenly!  Now just to get rid of this week's persistent pain in my ankle and sciatic and I'd be a happy camper!

I was given some fabric by Angela's Mom and passed some onto Aunt Monica's Attic for costume and bag making.  Well she got creative and hung one particular canvas type fabric as a backdrop!  WOW! WOW! WOW!


What a lovely day to walk around the Forks with Edna!   Well so did most everyone else too!  We casually walked 7 kms in 1.5 hrs totaling 11,047 steps.  Then we bought ice creams and sat on those comfy blue chairs checking out people, dogs and the water birds, enjoying the beautiful day!  I was so happy and content that when it was time to go home, just got up to walk away - NOPE NADA NO SIREE - my right ankle shot pain inside and I just about face planted!  It took some time but finally able to walk back to the condo.  Hours later it's still being miserable that I'll have to tomorrow tell the therapist and maybe get it xrayed.  Maybe there's a small bone chipped etc??? 😟

Okay no broken bones and no xray, just manipulated it without pain until she stroked the muscle/tendon from knee to ankle and I jerked and mentioned slight pain in the ankle right away.  Overstressed trying to do all exercises and now paying the price.  She teased me that I was the first patient she's told to back off on my exercise diligence!  So a couple are no go till this ankle strengthens! UGH!!!

Aug 8th

Anyone need puzzles for all ages?  I sure can vouch for the huge variety, especially if a new shipment arrives.  Which I think has or will shortly, right Monica?



Aug 9th

I was undecided which fabrics to use but glad I switched the light for dark and used these aboriginal or indigenous type fabrics.  Now I'm caught up again.
