Time flies.....

Wow, time does fly and I'm a bad blogger. All is fine with me. Life's ups and downs. I'm still living with my middle son for the next few months. He and his older brother are heading to Thailand for 3 weeks and I will be here until he gets back. Then I will start looking for my own place. As Josh says, there is no great hurry. We can look until we find the perfect place for me.

I would like to find a place that is within the shopping core. Right now I have my car but I may not always have it and so I have to make sure I am close to shopping. I also have my kitty and dog. Both are litter trained and house pets so we'll see how that goes.

I have been up to Celista once already this summer for 3 weeks and I am heading back up this week. Pete's mom Sandy passed away last week and they will be holding a Celebration of Life for her out at Sue and Pete's place. Lots of family and friends. She was a lovely warm person who will be greatly missed.

Mom's birthday is coming up in a few weeks and my brother and his wife and mom and I will be going out for dinner to celebrate. Then the first week of September mom and I are going to go over to Victoria and spend a few days at the Empress. With my brother Steve working for Fairmont it gives us good rates. My cousin Michael who lives in Victoria has cancer and mom and I would like to go over and have a visit. We are going to take the bus I think because we really don't need the car and it is expensive. This way we can just relax and enjoy and let someone else drive.

The girls and I want to have a camping weekend too. We are thinking we might do it at Judes as she has a nice big private back yard and we can lock ourselves in, pitch some tents, fire up the grill and just vegetate and read and visit and eat.....mmmm sounds heavenly. She has a hot tub too so we can just enjoy!

Now I am making some potato salad and then I am going to take Miss Lacey and a blanket and head over to the park on the corner and read and relax.
