Good Times

I'm a little late with my Monday Morning Report on the weekend activities.....


 Sir Steve and I went to the Dragon Boat races......... 

to be honest I was a little disappointed.  I had this image of elaborate boats with dragon heads.  BUT there were 4 boats total that the teams shared and they really weren't anything that spectacular. 

After about an hour we headed over to the Poutine Fest for lunch.

I had the popcorn chicken poutine.......

Sir Steve had the cheeseburger poutine......

  
both were pretty good - if you like greasy food 



Sunday afternoon Sir Steve and I had a 'nap' which around our campsite is code for 'we're going to go fuck now' (cheeky grin) don't come knocking......... 

And before we knew it  it was Monday and back to work...............only about 3 weeks left at the campsite (though we do spend weekends in September)  The summer has really flown by...........

Sunday Sentiments

(seriously it's been one of those weeks)

Friday night Storm

I love camping -- well you can hardly call what we do 'camping' honestly - more like glamping.  BUT despite having a 2 bedroom trailer I am still a fair weather camper.  I am great in sunshine and warm temperatures .......... not so much when it cools down and rains.  I lecture myself it would be no different if we were in the city -- I mean rainy miserable weather is rainy and miserable no matter where you are right?!  BUT I get cranky when the weather turns and am prone to whine about the Fall coming and then winter.

Yesterday we had one of those rainy cool miserable days.  I was hoping to have a fire last night -- but the rain changed to storms and we were banished inside....... which wasn't ALL that bad honestly.  Eldest daughter and her husband came over and we played cards and watched comedy on Netflix.  (it really is 'glamping' we have TV and everything!!)

Before the storm got too bad I grabbed my camera and went out and took some pics of the evening stormy sky.......... 

Today Sir Steve and I are off to town to watch the dragon boat races - something I have always wanted to do and never done!  Bringing my camera and hopefully will get some excellent shots.
And then we're going to poutine fest.  For those of you not familiar with poutine .....  it was a Quebec 'thing' for many years but it's popularity is spreading country wide.  The original poutine was french fries, with cheese curds on top and then a liberal helping of gravy was poured over - melting the cheese curds.... the greasier the better!  NOW you can get pretty much whatever you want on the top of your poutine - from bacon to smoked meat to curried chicken!!

Tomorrow I'll post more pics of our Saturday adventure -- if my stomach has recuperated from the greasy poutine (grinning).  

Life is good when despite the cool stormy temperatures you can still have fun and adventures!

Taking Care of Business

Last week I had a couple of things come to my attention that I decided to handle as a post........... I was not ignoring those of you who asked me questions (grinning) just procrastinating.

Last week I talked about this online counselling program my doctor suggested I sign up for...... it is only for patients in Ontario.  Some of you showed some interest and asked for more information.  IF you still want it - I will gladly send it to you via email.  You can contact me via the contact form on the right hand side of this page :)  I promise to answer you as soon as I have 5 minutes to myself with my computer.

On a more personal note.......... 

Over the last couple of weeks or so...... an old friend showed up in my comment section.  Spankedhortic I was so delighted to see you again!!  Welcome back old friend :)  (if I may be bold enough to call you that) ........ do you have a blog up and running again?? If you do can you pop me a comment or email with the url -- I miss hearing your news ........... 

Now it's time to go play with the lil one for a few hours before she heads back to Mommy dearest........ 

The 3 Birthday Weekend

What a weekend we had........ I managed to produce 3 Birthdays!!!!

Birthday #1 

was at my youngest daughter's -- the real surprise one...... AND I am pleased to say we got him we really did!!  Youngest daughter and husband planned an oriental birthday dinner that was to die for -- damn it was good....... 

Birthday #2 

was Sunday with Sir Steve's parents. They were here Sunday and Monday.  It was a busy time for me cooking mostly -- but visiting too..... 

Birthday #3 was on Monday -- 

his mother brought down a cake for Sir Steve and Sir Steve's father (his birthday is this coming Sunday) it would have been nice if she had told me -- it would have taken some of the pressure of having 2 cakes off my shoulder -- but then she doesn't confer with me about much....... le sigh.

Yesterday the lil one and I went to town to do the groceries and laundry - and last night I died........ too many people too much stuff going on I was done like dinner!!

Needless to say with all that partying and people Sir Steve and I had no alone time... double big sigh........ such is vanilla life......... BUT he had a good weekend with family and friends and that's what really counts!!
