We have been on a lovely long walk, in the fog, so nice :)

I then cut Steve's hair, then we both had lovely hot showers

We then got the slow cooker butter chicken prepared and into the slow cooker for dinner

Had some lunch and now relaxing on the pcs with a hot coffee :)
 
Listening to what is amounting to be a speed baseball game - five innings done already and the game started just 1 hour 15 minutes ago! Kinda wish I was in Chicago to see it since the weather there is sunny and 69. We've got a cloudy 85 and humid. I don't do "humid" well and am tired of AC. *sigh*
 
Reading far too many software reviews, so I can figure out which crud to uninstall. It seems that Toshiba Satellites don't come heavily weighed down with crudware.
 
Just got home from church and am trying to decide what to make for lunch. We have some leftovers which will probably do the job. Then I have a pile of rhubarb that I need to clean and make into wonderful things! :)

We have been invited to an event for the Vancouver Jazz Festival (one of the best anywhere) and an early Canada day celebration, but we haven't decided if we will go. We went across the river yesterday and to go all the way into the city (an hour or so) and pay a fortune for parking (for a free event) is not something I look forward to. If they would only come and play here......:angel:
 
Laurie, what about driving to Richmond, parking at the Casino parking garage (we paid $1 or $ 2 for all day when we went to the Olympics, I would call first to find out the rates) then take SkyTrain downtown. a day pass for SkyTrain is $9.75 ea. you save gas and stress and the parking fees that can top $35.00 for the day. I would love to go to the jazz festival and told DH that we need to make it a priority next year.
 
Steve is back at work today, it was a lovely weeks holiday :)

I am heading out soon to get some things from the shops, need to also go to the green grocer and the Indian supermarket, then I will be heading over to see mum as she is going away again, this time they are going to Queensland, they are driving and will be gone for 3 weeks, so I want to see her before they leave

Thanks, Bunny. We decided to stay around home today as my sciatica is really bad and I can't sit or stand for any length of time. There are festivities here in Surrey tomorrow or out on Granville Island again as part of the Jazz Festival.

I forgot we could use the train. Being a HandyDART driver (accessibility service) TB gets a free bus pass and on weekends or holidays his family gets to ride free as well. We could take the skytrain from here and then just one short bus to the Island. Hopefully I will be feeling up to it. If I have normal pain levels I can do the Sky Train to Vancouver quite easily and my cane gets me a seat so we shall see. Thanks again for reminding me of that!

Glad I could be of help and I hope you are able to enjoy some of the festivities. Parking downtown is a pita and way too costly :(
 
DH and I are enjoying a cocktail while watching the news ( we always watch the Canadian news at six and the US news at 11:00 ( or at least I watch at eleven, DH has usually gone to bed by then. Whew! Just watching about the heat wave here in the west OMG!

The latest I heard was they found a gentleman dead in his home with no AC. At those temps, a fan just doesn't do it.

In these parts, landlords and selling home owners have to provide a safe and working stove for tenants and potential buyers. It's the law! I think in parts like Nevada and Arizona, an AC should be an absolute requirement. It is in places like there that an AC is a definitely a life saving appliance. :angel:
 
I am sitting here watching the Memorial Ceremonies at the Gettysburg Memorial Park. It has been 150 years since that battle was fought during this first week of July 1-3.

I don't understand folks who live within at least an hours drive of a major historical site fail to visit it or even take their kids to understand what happened there. Specially a battlefield. I have a girlfriend that lives down the street, walking distance from the grounds of the Battle of Bull Run and the second one called the Battle of Manassas. And she has never been there. Driven by it, with no thought of its importance. We can't afford to forget our history.

I have been on the Freedom Trail more times than I can remember. Starting with Junior High School field trips to taking Girl Scouts and out of town visitors, I am only too happy to repeat our history to anyone who will listen.

If you are planning a vacation with the family, try to get some history into it. Don't leave it up to your children's textbooks at school to do all the teaching. No vacation this year? Buy a coffee table book on the battles of the Civil War. Let the kids browse through it. Or the Revolutionary War. Let them know that our history is important. :angel:

Is that a Margarita? That's "our cocktail". We drink them in glasses that look almost exactly like that one.
 
I spent half the night with Violet. We are not sure if she is sick, in pain or still stressed out by all our moving things around. She hates change more than I do and is very sensitive. She was panting, and it wasn't the heat because we keep our bedroom cool, and when she was sleeping her breathing was very laboured. I was hoping she would sleep in but her bed is on my side of the room now and I have to cross beside it when I get up so she followed me out. She is sleeping behind me right now and seems to be breathing normally but I will watch her.

I am sitting in my new studio trying to figure out where to put everything. In the old room it was a problem of too much stuff, too little space. Now I have the space and just have to figure out the best way to use it! :)

I don't think we will make it into Vancouver for the Canada Day festivities but after the busy week, a nice relaxing day sounds great!
 
Crying...but happy tears.

I just came inside from doing my morning plant watering. At the same time I was watering, Glenn was riding around the acreage on the 4-wheeler giving Harley a good run and overseeing the property.

When I stepped into the kitchen, here's what greeted me on the kitchen table:

Gorgeous, you lucky duck.

What kind of flowers are those? They look like some I remember from my childhood, that grew on a tall spike of a plant.
