sneak another one in before it's too late


I am burnt I am browned off that it is Sept tomorrow and I also got a bit too much sun yesterday- My girl did a photo shoot for the friend that works with a charity- see her on the bike...
My big tough guy cat has a black eye or something- He tangled with the unknown in the woods and looks like he got a few hits from the other guy-
My baby Kitty is sweet and snugly and loving and I wish she would stay the same forever- My old dog had a great trip to a city as few hours away with us and as always was the perfect gentle man. He sat through the drive enjoyed the grass at the soccer game took in a walk and a drink and then slept in the car quietly while we ate at a pub. The out door terrace was beside the car and we checked him a few times! It had cooled and the car was in the shade windows open-

I am tired as usual. School is on the way and so is a trip to Mexico- I just booked the kennel and I am ready for the surf!

weeks off I suppose

Last 2 weeks I went to the cottage and I painted whenever the weather was good- I painted the deck the sheds and the docks- well I helped the kids and I did it all together- it looks so good and I feel great that we got it all done- More than that I think my father is really happy we got it done- The only thing left is the dock- we used a 3 system stain on cedar and it got the first can but the 2nd and 3rd coats are still left to be done- I also should do the pergola as I noticed spots not done on that- whenever we get back up maybe I will look at getting that done-
We didn't relax that much but I think I'll book us a trip and see what happens with that! We did have a 2 weeks on a cruise and 2 weeks in Paris so it's no biggie that I worked a bit on this time off-

I also bought new comforters for the beds and they looked really good!

Cat's and wine

The owner who gave us our cat due to her allergies was missing him and came to see him- they I should say as the whole family was there when I was expecting just one- either way the cat was a bit uncooperative b/c he wanted to go outside and instead of cuddling or looking any way like he missed them he hissed and growled. I suppose I should feel flattered. It could mean he likes it at out place....

Eventually the kids and hubby left and the lady sat with me and had wine and we literally hopped from deck to deck and back again following the cat so she could be with him. He's a good little boy and I would miss him too if I had to give him up so I sympathise.

We sat up and had fun and I really feel it this morning! I was tired yesterday but today I am like wiped right out.

My boy is at camp and I have to get him there for a set time so it means not dillydallying in the morning. It's noon and I am beat! I have a soccer game on tonight and I am looking forward to my bed although it will be 9 hours maybe more until that time!
