We had so much fun. Got lots of photos to scrapbook and just finished putting the video on DVD for each family.

summer mosaic

Its been a good year for flowers this summer. Most of these were from my garden with a few from other gardens thrown in.

The outside of the shed it done

I finished the outside of the shed late last week. Today Arthur made a place for the bikes and now we have to start working on getting the yard back in order. Its just been so hot to do anything outside so hopefully this week we can get it done

Sunday Summer Fun

I had just finished 4 overnight shifts at work and got off a little early on Sunday morning. After a nap, we headed to Blue Water Fun Park in Sarnia for some summer fun. These photos made it worth it.

It's quiet here tonight

My family is off on a last minute canoe trip so it's quiet here tonight. Hope the rain stays away and bugs don't bite.

some summer relaxation

We decided to take a break today from building the shed (just have to put the siding on the front and the outside is done) and took a trip to the beach today. Had so much fun and got some great shots for a summer layout.

Off for an evening of fun and pampering

My niece, Tiffany, is having her Mary Kay Debut party this evening so I'm off for an evening of fun and pampering. Looking forward to it after the last 3 weeks of working in the yard.

Neghbours are wondering if my husband has been banished to the dog house

We are in the midst of building a 12' X 12' shed in our backyard. Yesterday I ran into one of our neighbours and she wondered if my husband has been banished to the new dog house?

Wer'e going to raise the roof

The roof will go on the shed in the morning. Hope its not too hot for my shinglers. Wish us luck.

Great website for Gimp/Plastic Lacing Instructions

What is summer without summer crafts like plastic lacing? Aaron and Jenna found a great website with videos on how to do plastic lacing. I only knew how to do flat, round and square and had no idea there were other versions until I looked at http://www.laneyards.com/.
