'The Lad'

Well its been 6 weeks since my step-son joined us for his summer vacation, did i say he's here till sept!!!! mmm i sure i may have mentioned it to one or too people at work. He has been a joy to have around our new home, not only is he smart but oh my goodness he has a wicked sense of humour. Some how we have nick named him 'The Lad' .

There is never a dull moment since he arrived (there wasnt prior to his arrival) he's a chip of the old block as they say, just like his dad... leaves the toilet seat up, the empty toilet roll still on the holder, toothpaste around the sink bowl, dishes in the sink when the dishwasher is right there.....yeah same old same old just a younger version, so he was given a lesson in tidying up after onesself...it didnt last long.

He has been quite good in other areas though, quite domesticated like his dad, cant cook as well but there is time, and he quite likes the lawn mower and strimmer ... here see ...

He's good at doing the straight lines down the grass, i have a problem getting them right. im hoping he's not scared of heights as you can see the conifers want trimming!

He went to work for three days last week with his papa, he slept for the following three days, clearly use to using his brain more than his brawn but he did good, he's getting use to driving the car more now, NO not my truck, his papa's car, he has an issue with speeding up whilst going around bends, im just glad im not in the car i dont travel well. Such fun and laughter he brings to our lives.....

Belated's

As I look back at my postings I realise a few things were missing, the biggest belated was to wish Kate and William a happy marriage, being a Brit I was most surprised to see I had forgotten such well wishes to the happy couple :



HRH Duke and Dutchess of Cambridge

Lillies and Poppies I love them ! The colours are so vibrant and pretty .

I have continued the flower theme at the front by planting two climbing roses, pictures to follow !

Weekend again

why why why does weekend go so quickly? and did i mention it always seems to rain on my days off.

I miss having 5 days off together, now i work five together and just get the two off, i don't have any me time how depressing, anyway i was determined not to spend Saturday in bed !

i was up with the lark, busy busy, off i went to the recycle bank and in returned got $10.20 for my 'empties' in the savings it went.

i treated myself to a caramel latte and chocolate chip muffin whilst waiting for Costco to open then got impatient and spent 2 hours in home sense, i just love that shop.

i bought some nice pics and a large mirror, yet more towels. I saw a couple of cute lamps may have to go back for them tomorrow :)

spent the afternoon preparing dinner and cleaning the man cave! enuf said.

hope its not raining tomorrow i have an urge to be gardening.

wonderful day

Mothers day in canada was beautiful, i called MY mum in the UK we giggled like little children, updating her about the last few months comings and goings in mine and my hubbys lives and boy its been busy!

went to rolly lake with hubby, tom and the dogs although they were leashed all the way around as its camping season, but a wonderful morning.

Hubby bought me flowers and a card- which was from the dogs, himself and step-son for mothers day... such a nice surprise ! then he made a breakfast lunch in good english style, bacon, eggs, beans, sausage, mushrooms, toast, tomatoes, orange juice and coffee...... it took everything in me to eat it hahahahha.

spent the afternoon planting my climbing rose bushes on the front porch, then watched Mrs.Doubtfire...i just love that film.

ready to go to sleep now, back to the grind stone in the morning !

Hope you mums had a wonderful day today
