The people we meet!! (on the serious note)

Summer's coming to an end.. summer student's are headed back to school...and we're short staffed at work (what else is new) .... Last night we went out for chinese food said our good byes... to one of the girls at work... now this is one person... whom I will never forget...

About 2 months ago we headed up together to get our hair cut... (a first for her) and had the greatest time.... It was such a moving experience for me....I learnt more about myself in the car than I had in years.... as she grew up very similar to me.. we shared similar stories.. and compared the type of friends that we grew up with and the family that raised us.... If I was 20 years younger... .. we would have been inseparable.

This is truly one of the greatest people I have met... and in spite our age!!! she will be in my life for many years to come...

Books....

Unlike cougarmama... and Jay... I read only a few books througout the summer!!! maybe... I'm too busy cleaning my house!!! NOT!!! however, cougs.... I think you should read "Water for Elephants" I will try to remember to bring it this weekend.... it is an excellent book and I would recommend it to anyone... (Jay also proof read it for me!!!) (if you remember.. can you bring John Dalye?? and we'll grab it from you...)

Now ... I am reading "Twilight" another recommendation from Jay... It's a series... but... Jay said it was awesome... now.. I won't be finished reading it for a while... but will let you know my reviews...

6 more days til school...

No sure why I am the only one counting down the days til school starts!!!! (do I sound a little to anxious???)

Things are getting back to normal.... the house had been cleaned... and now it's dirty again... mom is back to work... and the kayos has begun... hopefully routine will soon follow suit....

Went to the ortho.. for another appointment yesterday... T-got his braces tightened... (didn't hurt as much this time) and he got the Oiler's colors this time... Not so good news for J... she needs 2 phases... w/ means... about a 10K bill.... what are those dentist's thinking.... and now hubby wants to get a second opinion... well... I can't afford to go to 2 sperate places!!! so.. good thing we have SOME coverage...

After the ortho.. we stopped by the pet store to pick up a reptile cage!!! yes we are proud owners of a pet gardner snake... every mothers dream.... (the snake escaped...earlier.. hence the need for a cage... and like everything everything else.. mom had to find it... )

We are headed up to Turtle Lake this weekend to visit family and friends.. it should be good...

PS... Jay - started the "Twilight" will keep you posted...

Summer... 2008

I'm back...

Back to civilization... back to where there is a computer.... It's been a while... and I've received some comments w/ regards to my lack of effort... but.. here's a short one to bring you up to speed...

Summer has been excellent... and expensive..... washed a camera... washed an ipod...bought a boat!!!! Had a fabulous time with friends at the lake....

I also had a fabulous time at the esk`s game.... don`t think the watermelon fan`s had quite as much fun as us!! thanks... auntie Val....

1 week left.. and school starts... and well.... I have officially changed September to be my new New Years.... need to dry out from all the wine and salt out from all the chips...

Here are some pic`s....

Every day a young buck walked through our camp ground.. we also seen a mama and papa bald eagle.. as well as a baby weasel.... good thing.. our kids are self sufficient.. cause...Auntie V... had trouble keeping the baby weasel alive!!!

OK.. 3-4 bottles of wine a day must be good for you... cause if it isn't I better stop.. we had the most fabulous time!!! the family is excellent... sometimes I think I like the family more than I like the hubby.. well... that should be a good sign...
