another day has gone by…

up early-ish so that we could get in some fishing before the rain was supposed to arrive…

I sat patiently waiting for pickerel… sadly they didn’t want to play with me today…

the boys swam and there was some fancy kneeboarding…

we had an adventure going through a narrow section of the lake and found a new fishing spot with friends, but it was fairly windy so not much success… I did get to watch an eagle dive and rise up with a fish…

we headed back across the lake and while we were sitting out on the water the skies opened up… amazing how quickly the boys were able to get the cover on the boat and all fastened down… and of course, that is when the rain stopped, lol…

sky was looking mighty fierce though and when the thunder and lightning started up we headed for home…

poured for quite a while so there was reading and napping and phone games and board games in the camper…

rain stopped and we made a lovely dinner of bbq steak with baked potatoes, fried mushrooms and salad…

cleaned everything up and now one has gone fishing off the rocks with a friend, and the other two have gone to visit another site…

I am quietly drinking tea and reading… how lovely;-)…

another fun day…

after breakfast the older mowed the grass, whipper snipped, and we moved the rocking chair… we will see how it feels in the new spot…

then we headed over to the Zoo to check out the wolves and big bugs…

it was overcast but not too hot… we also stayed quite a while in the butterfly garden, sitting still and hoping that a butterfly would land on us…

stopped at Indigo to pick up some reading material… was all excited that they wanted books, but they meant graphic novels, ie comics, lol… although the boys did tell me they read all the words…

lunch at Subway and home to play video games and watch tv…

organized twice stuffed potatoes to go with our country style spareribs as this was the request…

they are currently playing football in the park…

planning to watch fireworks at eleven just a few streets over…

and sleep in tomorrow…

it was a long night, what with my buddy, the bed hog… not only does he hog the bed, but he snuggles right up… and he’s hot…

up early and checked out a few feeds on my phone… my grandson got up about half an hour later and we had some quiet time while the others slept…

when they got up, we had omelettes for breakfast and tried to get tickets to go up the Peace Tower, but is was closed for the day due to a protest…

we drove to Bayshore Mall because my daughter said we needed to go there… and discovered a beautiful show of mannequins dressed in flowers… had a wonderful time wandering around and taking pictures while the boys did other things…

then three of us took a bendy bus, train and double decker bus to get home;-)… lots of fun…

home for a nap, a quick hair trim and then the boys dropped us off for a fancy meal while they went out for dinner and a movie… and even remembered to take the picture I asked for;-)…

we went to Atelier and had a magnificent fourteen course dinner… here are a few of the courses…

they also brought us each an adorable micro mini cake with a chocolate candle that burned…

an excellent day;-)…
