Catchup - Aug 1st-12th

Aug 1st

Well I walked to Boston Pizza to meet Pat for fishbowl Friday and pizza. So double the info for the return trip.





My Banff Sulphur Mtn Abalone earrings!

Yummy!!! Lately I've been thinking of having a Bulldog (it's been years since the last one) and glad I had it. It was awesome to catch up with Pat and hear that they saw some of my Vancouver stops from their trip. And I might even get to visit their pets on Sunday too!

Ohhh and I've my new glasses on as I needed a stronger lense for my right eye and since I didn't have two pairs Costco couldn't just order the lenses to be popped into their one year old frames, I had to get new frames too! Not happy since I'm not covered except every two years!

Aug 2nd

I'm very sorry Aruna you were not here! I pray that you recoup and we can get together again.  



I did enjoy my supper, veggies were delicious and he held back the broccoli!!! And my waiter was great! Now to head home and relax!!!

Aug 3rd

OMGG I totally ❤️❤️❤️ this yard and Randy's love of gardening! Now that he's retired, he can leisurely enjoy this hobby! Thank you Pat & Randy for giving me this day in your jungle and with your pets, Freyr and Isa!
It is SOOOO wonderful on this swing before the heat of the day!!!

Isa's favourite spot in the shaded gazebo. 

OMGG I totally missed my sister's painted rock she gave for their garden after moving from Dryden! 


Talk about a lovely day in the shade with a slight breeze!!! Isa wanted outside so after the Blue Jays game I came outside with her and relaxed on the swing. But she disappeared, but I found her!


Favourite spot in the shaded gazebo!

That's when I noticed the three Nordic-like characters that Pat said Randy would LOVE when she n Byran visited me at the Lien's home years ago. Well when they downsized Joan Lien asked if I'd like to have them and as you can see they are hanging proudly!!!




Ohhh and I missed some other pictures that Pat showed me.




Aug 5th

WOW!!! A week ago I was going to go to the Casino then thought NAH!!! A couple days ago I received a Casino email about Senior's Day and $10 free play monies plus 30% off food, so checked with Sylvia and off we went today.
Now she is think was slightly ahead going home. ME was shocked at my good luck! I went with $75 cash then ATM $50 (wanted those three FISHES to burst, two did so I shut down) and cashed out with $236.45 - that's $111.45 ahead today!!! So back went cash into my gambling wallet and the $111.45 I just might hang onto for the trailer vacation coming up.


Big win on my Free Play and once used up cashed out my $5 to start the $10 free play with $74.70!!!

Sylvia's 

Sylvia's 

WOW! I don't think I've ever had that many free games!

This was another $10 cash start and it was a bit higher before I finally cashed out!

Leanne you'll have to show Rod my "grilled shrimp" (were on skewers) I craved on our vacation and finally had at home!!!

My winnings!

Aug 6th

HOLY CRAPPOLA!!!!! That was a very LOUD and CLOSE lightning and hammering thunder! Go away!!! And now pouring!!!!

Aug 7th

Dang it's smokey out there and talk about low and intense too!

Aug 8th

I couldn't resist treating myself again since my arm is still hurting me since Tuesday mornings bloodwork!!! UGH to the bruise but YUMMY to the Bulldog and pizza!!!!



Aug 12th

Just helped Sylvia finish off this puzzle the other day.  It's one I'll secure the front and then glue it to foam core to hang in my sewing room.  I love doing puzzles.



It's finished!

Summer cut.

Guess it was a good thing I'd been lucky at the casino last week as yesterday I received in the mail a camera generated speeding ticket from Aug 4th!  This was a surprise but then Grant is lower.  Better curb this heavy foot!!!
