Let's Get Busy

This summer is gearing up to be very exciting and no doubt very busy. Work on the outside of the house begins this week...new siding, windows and roof. We are also hoping to re-do the upstairs bathroom and with any luck at all a new deck as the old one has definitely seen better days.

I'm heading back to Ontario on June 25th to celebrate my mom's 75th birthday. We are having dinner on the Grand River Dinner Boat Cruise on the Sunday night...can't wait, should be a great time with my siblings. If not, at least there will be access to throw them overboard if they can't get along...hahaha!! Just kidding, I'm sure everyone will be on their best behaviours for mom's sake!

The weekend after I return is a big deal here in Charlotte County, NB. There is an Atlantic Motorcade coming to the area...over 5000 motorcycles are expected along with people out and about to see them. I really don't want to think how busy the bakery is going to be but we will get through it and it's great for the economy in this area. I might even have the chance to rent out a couple of rooms!

Last week I had my sister Catharine and her friend Judy here for a visit. What a great time we had...seen alot, ate alot and laughed ALOT! I should mention that the penguin Judy is holding belongs to her friend. His name is Petey and he likes to travel around and have his picture taken.



It's always sad to see my visitors leave but all good things must come to an end. We are expecting more visitors throughout the summer so still lots to look forward to.

I've been down to New River Beach collecting treasures, a few of which I finally sat down and painted on. I think they will make nice souveniers for people visiting the area. The reviews have been positive so far.

Tucker is growing by leaps and bounds and is now bigger than Madison. They are quite the pair and hilarious to just sit and watch. Seems all they do is play and sleep which is so nice for Maddie...she used to just sleep all the time. Yesterday they were playing tug of war with an old sock and all of a sudden Tucker flopped down on his side and just layed there with the sock still in his mouth and his eyes were closed. Maddie was still playing and started dragging him around the floor. After a few minutes Tucker leapt up and pounced on her and then the fight was on for the sock again! Wish I had my camera handy to have gotten that on video!

Both Lyndon and I are excited to be having his sister, Karen moving down here with us sometime this summer. Still waiting on a date but I know she is as anxious as we are...good things come to those who wait, right? I'm sure once she adjusts to the slower pace here she is going to love it...beautiful scenery, friendly little town..and did I mention a bakery that is only a 3 minute walk away? I hear the bread is out of this world!! LOL!
