what a lovely reception for the wedding couple! I'll bet they loved the chamber music you played. What a surprise, eh?
What's happening in your neck of the woods...#21
Having a DELUGE at the moment .. but .. one that is SO welcomed .. mayhaps the humidity will break now ..
Took a pic through the dining room window of this Hummingbird Moth in the Phlox .. first one I have seen this year .. they usually stop by in July.
Sounds like a wonderful reception to have attended Ann .. surprises like that always make GREAT memories.

Great shot, ~M~
Not likely to be here much for a few days. Modem at home has quit working. Internet will be confined to Library or DH's office or after Wednesday on DD's machine in Vancouver. don't know if the replacement modem will arrive before we leave.
Ann
how nasty to not know when you'll be online - kinda takes the sponteneity out of it lol
Well, we'll see you when we can. Enjoy your visit in Vancouver, Ann - we'll wave to you from Calgary as you pass by ^_^

"M" so sorry to hear about the toes, must be painful..
Ann, bet it made the get together that much more enjoyable..did you hear a few weeks ago a young couple got married, towards the end of the evening the box with all the envelopes was missing..kept all the guests for about 2 hrs. for questioning..can you imagine a friend doing that..my thoughts is a couple came and crashed the wedding reception and made off with it, not one of the friends in attendance...
Susan, are you now completely over the food poisoning?
"M" phlox are all in bloom right now, quite the sight..going in search of some that have more red in them for next year..
Carol, do they have photo clips from the tour on-line...
What a glorious weekend, kept myself busy..
Sat. morning headed to Home Depot to pick up wood for a birdhouse I have to make for a swap, went to Walmart first, ooops sale on mature trees..$5.00 each..put 8 in my little car and before afternoon was over I was back for 4 more...still 4 that needs planting...no wood for birdhouse..
Sunday was up bright and early still tired from Saturday`s schedule..thought I`d beat the crowd into Home Depot for the wood and just before leaving got a call that several friends were taking their boats up to Sans Souci ``all you can eat pickerel buffet`` tempting to say I had things to do but nope, with the Foxy Lady in the water off I went with them all..Georgian Bay was calm as could be..
The sun was setting by the time I got home...have to say I`m colorful today..but Lordy it felt nice being in the boat again...before you know it she`ll be parked on my lawn again for the winter...need to get out a few more times before then..lol
I'm over the food poisoning (it took until late Fri evening!), my Mom went back home on Sat evening, and I'm back to work after my 2 wk vacation.
I came back to a ton of emails, and my desk/workspace is a mess! The lady who was to look after my plants was away Fri, so they're looking kinda "sad" and she's not here today, so it's quiet in my area. She also didn't transcribe the minutes she was asked to... so I have that to do siiiiiiiiiiigh.
My boss is away doing the Pike's Peak Marathon! I'll see him on Wed when he's recovered lol
Well, gotta "get to it" and get my work done.
Hope everyone has a great day ^_^

Just checking in while I have Internet. Modem is working fine at the moment, but I'm betting it will quit this afternoon.
Received this message yesterday - Thought you might enjoy it.
Quoting:
THIS IS A NONPARTISAN JOKE THAT CAN BE ENJOYED BY All PARTIES!
NOT ONLY THAT-- it is POLITICALLY CORRECT!!
While walking down the street one day a "Member of Parliament" is tragically hit by a truck and dies.
His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.
'Welcome to heaven,' says St. Peter. 'Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you.'
'No problem, just let me in,' says the man.
'Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.'
'Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,' says the MP.
'I'm sorry, but we have our rules.'
And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.
Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.
They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne.
Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly & nice guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go.
Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises...
The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him.
'Now it's time to visit heaven.'
So, 24 hours pass with the MP joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.
'Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity.'
The MP reflects for a minute, then he answers: 'Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.'
So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.
Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage.
He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.
The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. 'I don't understand,' stammers the MP. 'Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable.
What happened?'
The devil looks at him, smiles and says, 'Yesterday we were campaigning.. ..
Today you voted.'
