SATURDAY AUGUST 22, 2015

Good morning. It's housekeeping day here. Yuck. Actually, it's even worse than that! It's nook and cranny cleaning day. LOL. You know what I'm talking about. The tops of lights, the tops of cabinets, the tops of draperies and the glass doors! Well, I guess Mark had enough of me as he went with a package to the post office and on to Home Depot. Haha. 

Last night, we did ourselves in by having a bowl of ice cream about 9 o'clock. Although we didn't go to bed until midnight, we both had a fit of allergies and coughing all night long. I guess yesterday was too much dairy. Drat ... that was some good ice cream. ;-)


Randy and Dawn have an 8 foot alligator living under their dock. It's a bit unnerving, as when he hears someone walk on the dock, he swims out from underneath and stares them down. They think someone on their canal must be feeding gators! We are having the same problem on our canal. The difference is ours is a 5 to 6 foot alligator ... and we're pretty sure we know which neighbor is feeding it. Yes, I did have a talk with her and said it's illegal, blah blah blah and a fine involved. You just can't fix stupid. 

OK, enough of that, here's a giggle ...

OMG, can you just imagine what the background scene looks like? Haha. Somehow, this reminded me of coming home from work in the 70s, (it's a flashback 70s day here with the oldies on the cable channel. Great music!) Anyway, I arrived home from work to find my sweet English Springer Spaniel puppy Freddie IN his puppy playpen with dirty face and feet! WTF? Well, I walked through the house discovering palm fronds in each room! Whaattt? Then I walked into the living room ... my lovely new white shag carpeting was sporting a big brown muddy stain! Darling Freddie had clambered out of his playpen ... tipped the big plant pot over and entertained himself by digging in the dirt and eventually pulling the entire palm tree from the pot! LOL. (Yes, I can laugh about it now, all these years later!) There was my wee boy, BACK in his pen, looking as innocent as could be! The puppy playpen soon got a lid! Haha. He was one cool dog his entire life! 

Well, this dog is very cool!

But so is this pair!
Baby hitches a ride on Momma moose. 

Sue and Wayne are having a rainy day with thunderstorms at the cottage. Tonight, they're going for dinner and dancing in Keewatin. Nice! I hope it's a good time ... they enjoy dancing!

Jim sent photos of his cottage project. It's coming along nicely! Next April, it might be finished! 

I chose this photo to show you the size of these logs! Wow!

Hopefully, Randy and Dawn will get to see it when they're in Canada next month! Speaking of Randy, he's back on antibiotics! This bug we've all had is brutally tough to shake!

After wine on the porch, we feasted on the second pan of pork chops and rice. Yummy! We decided to enjoy a quiet evening in ... it was a busy enough day!

How was your Saturday?
