Back for the momment..

Well we're back home for a few days... WOW- LOTS to catch up on I see!... the "events" around Blogland & Tracker..& the NEW forum set up by our own wonderful JESS!

I still haven't had a chance to look into blogs yet.. I've been doing a nonstop laundry & catching up with gardening has been an adventure! So in the mean time Here 's a few pics of our week..

the first pic was our last night.. Hmmm yes -a very relaxed pair we are... ;)


I have to say- I do LOVE being up there.. once you realize there is nothing you really have to do.. it's great!!.. the biggest decision to make is whether it's gonna be a bathing suit & a wrap kinda day..or throw on a sundress!

Hair & makeup are total NON issue since you're in & out of the water all day.

& YES -Sqishheeees are very much a Tradition at "The Cabin"..& have been apparently for over 30 yrs now! ;)


the next is of Jamie & Jess finally taking a break the day we went tubing... those things are FUN...& a workout to stay on..like Lat pulls from Hell! - akkkk ~lol~

& then there is the cute one of Steven & Kennedy - Jamie's "brother" - Uncle Tom's little one.. She thinks "Steben" is the greatest thing since sliced bread & will follow him anywhere!

the last one is of Steven with a Kokanee he caught..a Kokanee if you don't know is a land locked Sockey salmon so they're protected as they aren't that common ...so needless to say this little guy went Back :D

LOTS more got taken with Uncle Tom's camera but it's a REAL film one so I have no idea how I'd get them on here! :P

I'll check in with ya'll as I can in between chores!

Have a great week..!

Hope you all stay, or find your way to being well this week :) ... We're off for the cabin-- as soon as it cools down enough to drive !

The summer is slippin by!

Wow how did it get to be the middle of July already?? Akkkk... Time is going by too fast!
The only Good thing is that it mean that after my next 3 days on ...I'm on HOLIDAYS for just over Three weeks! YAY!!! whooooo hoooo :)

First off-We'll be heading up to the cabin for a week.. Total back to nature living ( read- NO running water! ).. but right on the lake which is gorgeous & lots of fun for Jess & Steve ( & maybe a friend or 2 this yr - yep more fun!!
& because it's so dry up in the Okanagan there are are no nasty bugs to bite us, so Jamie & I sleep out on the deck under the stars ;)

after a few days back home here I think we'll be heading up to a camping weekend for my girlfriends 30th...Yea Stef I'm sure there will be MANY SQUISHEEES happening all over the place that weekend! ~lol~

& after that we may try to head over to Vancouver Island to see my Aunt & Uncle who the kids love to visit & hopefully get a day or so of ocean fishing in...

Yep- things to look forward to ...:)

Yep I'm a Rookie...~lol~

OK So this was my attempt to change the look of my blog...hmmmm ok so this did NOT work out the way it was supposed to...- It's missing all the pretty stuff around the edges...& the pic is WAY too big!...but it's time to go the gym...& then watch darlin daughter play her heart out at the end of her "quick start' band thing...

Anyone out there know how to make the whole thing fit... I'm up for HELP!!!!

Aaaaaaarrrrgggg!

No this is not me still in pirate mode! It's me more than just a bit pissed at things in my world right now.

For starters I managed to mess up my neck several days ago - probably having to do with restaining the whole front deck -
I'm a bit particular..OK ok.. A lot particular... So I was all scrunched up in bizarre positions to get into some of the areas ... To get it JUST right. End result it looks great...Me NOT so much!

I think I kinda sent the whole thing into spasm the other day trying to get a workout in that included overhead triceps...( yea ok call me stupid- I figured it was fine by then...ahhhh NO! )
So needless to say I've been living on Robacacets & visits to my Chiropractor & doing NOTHING except riding the bike to do cardio .Bleeaaaaaaaaa!!
Did I mention that when feeling depressed & pissed at your self ... It's much harder NOT to just say F' it & eat crap ? More arguements than ususual with myself about that to say the least!

Then the topper today --- My darlin husband's ex has reared her altogether nasty, spiteful ugly head again & where this latest intrusion into our life will go... I know not..

Anyone got a corner I can borrow to curl up in??

*sigh*

Guess what we went to see??

Yep... & it was GREAT!! Just walking up to the theatre to head in was fun with all the reactions & overheard comments -- SOO many people saying- "Awww, we shoulda done that!"
And you know me..Any excuse to play dress ups is fine by me :P
& this was well worth it!
Fun evening to say the least!

Party on the patio..

Finally have a sec to get these up & show you some of our celebration on the weekend.. Friends of ours took some as well but these I took before the rest of the gang showed up & I got too sidetracked making Strawberry Margaritas & Pina coladas!! ( we had a total Red & White theme...Including the foods & drinks! )
& As you can see the girls got into their red jello just a bit too much! That's what I get for blinking for a second! akkk! ... All in all-- a fun time tho! :)
