Debbie I was up early, in Barrie and shopping early this morning..was in Canadian Tire (wouldn't you know my favorite place to shop) and wasn't there a little chipmunk running here and there...I said 'oh you've got pets' and the salesman said he was their resident "Ernie"..

Wish you had gone to the Dr's Debbie, might not be something you should try and fix on your own, worried about you..find it hard knowing how busy you always are that you are indeed taking it easy! you know you only live 3 hrs. away..you wouldn't want me to come and take you to emerge now would you...lol How's Paul enjoying his time off?

Liz, know when I start to check out flights to California I'm going to make sure that I fly out of Buffalo N.Y. - the landing taxes/tire taxes..taxes/taxes/taxes make our flights almost double..you look at a $399. flight and when all is tallied you are almost double.. from time to time I'll keep posting 'fish' photo's lol..that way we'll keep reeling him in..
Bet he's not a happy camper having to go back to work early..but, he did enjoy what time he had off...wish I was there to see what you are putting in the garage sale...thought of you yesterday..after work I went to the Garden Gallery in town and they had so much halloween pieces out..entire village, just the same as a Christmas Village but done in halloween, so of course I thought of you...Garden Gallery is no longer decorated in spring/summer colors...we're now into fall, still so very pretty though..

Praying for Sean both to get financial assistance and medical help..as you say, being in the 30's is much too young to have back problems..not having surgery though must have made him feel better...how long before he knows if he will get financial assistance? Hoping you don't get to read this till your 'noon', you need the rest...

Mary, how exciting for DH..took a trip out of Boston Harbour many moons ago, Roger fished but yuk, not I..couldn't even stand the smell of all the bait..not a fish eater as you can see..now will you do something equally as interesting on your birthday? do hope so...Mary, cannot believe what your schools teach the youth, absolutely nothing like that goes on in our school system...your music and dance programs are unbelievable...now look at those costumes..you'd swear they are in a broadway show in N.Y...will the dance team be over tonight or tomorrow, did you give in? lol

Tubby thanks for the laugh..how are you feeling today?

Mentioned last night that I received a 'swap envelope' so much fun..stayed up until almost 11 reading the "Garden of Love" poems, kept looking around to see what flower arrangement in the house could be smelling so sweet..it wasn't until I neared the last page that the inscription from the manufacturer said "Scented just for You" just too cool...

Up early so sales start at Canadian Tire and they open up at 8:00-guess who was at the door..last night when going to the variety store I got a piece of pine branch in my eye, hurts like the dickens...you can't see the little mall witht he tree line so I'm always taking a shortcut through it...last night when looking at the sales paper I saw they had a very simple metal arbor - reg. $99.99 on for $35.99 so decided that I'd put it inbetween 2 of the pine tress, next year make a garden around it and some vines and I would have my own entrance into the restaurant and variety store without doing damage to myself.. (Debbie, found another trinket for my fairy swap so mailing it at lunch)

As I was going in the store there was a display of plants/shrubs...25 cents for perrenials, some aren't in the best of condition but I'm sure would survive..more for next year than this year... so at the till I asked her if I could pay for them without having to go outside..she checked her scanner sheet and said they were now reduced to 5 cents so I said, I'll take 30..so I have some planting to do when I get home..even if 10 or 12 were to survive still cheap..got to work at 9:02 ooops, didn't even have time for coffee..think I might take a run to timmy's..yuk, can't have a donut..


Stopped at a nursery on my way to work, they've various cement pieces there..asked about footings for the cement bench, nope..could order them though..bought the mold for the top of the bench in Barrie at stained glass place..might just give them a call this morning to see if they have molds for the legs..if I buy them probably cost $60 - $75. maybe mold isn't that much more and then I have the molds to make both the top and legs...

Did I forget to say it's the most glorious of days and much the same all weekend...don't know if I want to do anything but play in the yard...but, in my mail were 2 notices...one from Carol's here in Barrie, she's moving and has all kinds of painting supplies and garage sale going on tomorrow, then Fabricland sent me a flyer, forgot to check when their 40% off for members start...hmmmm what to do, what to do...


And that's my early morning antics..what are you all up to?
