Definitely "small town" but lots of fun.

you made some scones? awesome and apricot sounds brilliant!

i will be spending the day and night tomorrow with my sister and her family at their beach house...it is in a village that does not have a fireworks ordinance so weill be watching all of her neighbors blow themselves up! She said it is quite a show, it goes on for hours, we can see perfectly from her porch, and they pretty much light up the whole beach....so no driving and no $ and plenty of adult beverages once the cherub goes to sleep

Hope everyone is having a nice 4th!

breakfast for dinner is always a hit with me- bacon and eggs delish any time but it seems especially good at dinner, i'll never understand it....i guess it is such a warm cozy smell- and having it at the end of the day when all of the hard stuff is over, instead of at the beginning of the day with the hard stuff ahead of you- just makes it that much cozier!

or something

Sneaking thru the kitchen on tip toes....just need coffee, heh.

Our Canada Day was great. One day of rest and then it was the 15th Dyke March Day of our 30th Pride. Weather was hot hot hot. The crowds were awesome.....and if you have any kind of social phobia, the streets were not the place to be, it was one huge street party.
I don't usually do the festivities two days in a row.......I'm not 19 anymore, so I have to pick and choose my partying very carefully *hee hee*

Wishing all my favourite American friends here a very happy 4th of July celebration.

All the best,
*freyja*

Good morning all

Thank you for breakfast Lips

I had a little bit of a late start this morning...making a leisurely Sunday breakfast for my son (not something I normally get to do since he's usually with his father) and enjoying that 2nd cup

now that he's been picked up.

Today is another yard work day for me...and maybe getting stuck into some housework as well...with a kid, 4 cats and 2 dogs it's a constant job. Nice to know that I have Monday off as well....yay!

Getting ready to do a bit more "possession pruning" too...I've done a bunch but realize that I haven't missed a single thing that I got rid of...and need to get packing some more as well...think my plate is full for the weekend.

Hope you all have a great day!

baby

Jo do you know if the banks are closed tomorrow?? I also have to start pruning too. I have a lot of stuff that has to be hauled away for sure. I'm moving in September after school is out so I should start too. I'm just going to box that stuff up and call the Vietnam Vets to come and get it, they pick up anything you don't want and for free!! You have 4 cats and two dogs that's a lot of work for sure I don't envy you at all!! Maybe I'll start looking in the garage to see what is out there/

Want to bake those scones I think I have everything for them, just can't find the flour damn it!! Anyway, have a great day everyone... gail
