Yeah, I found them too, but in older posts and not really in order. But as long as everyone can access them, all's right with the world.

Another adventure?
Did you just want us to have an adventure, too? This may be fun....I found the posts OK. What's a little excitement now and then haha!
What the Hell!
Somehow I have screwed up the whole blog! Your posts are there, when you look in list of previous posts in the posting section, but not on the blog itself. I have tried everything I can think of to put them back on the blog, but they just won't move!

Last day before they come back. We've had the use of the stove over the weekend, the only problem being that half the supplies are downstairs and all prep work has to be done at the basement bar. For two old duffers who have trouble with stairs, this is not a good system. Other than my daily (almost!) trip to Starbucks, we've spent the weekend quietly at home. We were able to hear the noise of fireworks Friday evening, and into the morning, but otherwise enjoyed Canada Day on tv. Today we're going to roast the chicken--our last one. This is turning into somewhat of an adventure, but still, that's how we've been amusing ourselves over the past few years--with small adventures.
While I've been a bit emotional over the past few days, hopefully that's moderated by a good sleep (chemically induced on my part) last night--for both of us I think. This morning I could see the effect of the emotions at the scale. My weight is lower than it's been in almost 20 years! I ate well yesterday. Emotional eating-yes-certainly, and in full recognition of it at the time. Our meals have really been "catch-as-catch can" over the past week, and perhaps we needed a planned full meal, even if it wasn't according to Dr. Phil. I have to wonder if part of my better mood, today, isn't partially the result of eating better, if not healthier.
I finished a small piece yesterday, that has been on the work table for several weeks. Not much of an accomplishment, but an accomplishment none the less. Now the dishes are done ( ever try to wash a large roasting pan in a small bar sink? An adventure in itself), and David has vacuumed the main travel areas, of the rug. The next task is to clean up the studio. I often make a ritual of this when a piece is finished. So that's the plan for the day.

Fireworks
Yesterday was our Village's celebrations for Canada Day. I went down to the pharmacy for some pills early so to avoid the Parade crowd but the downtown was already full of cars and the waterfront with people and boats and music from the band stand. At home we had a BBQ but at 4 pm haring the fire trucks blazing, I stepped onto the road from where we can see the intersection downtown, and was able to see the whole parade (from a distance mind you) From then on, drifts of music came our way, and then at 10 pm the boom boom of fireworks filled the air. We heard on the CBC about how dogs react to thunderstorms and fireworks and that one should try to avoid the noises with them ie put in basement or somewhere. And true to form, Scooby jumped onto the bed and needed much stroking until the last fizzle could no longer be heard. From our place with windows open every noise is very loud and clear - even the final foray of fireworks and the big round of oohs and aahs, and then applause from the crowd. I never really liked going to see fireworks.
This morning the air is filled with a fine mist - sort of nice to walkout early with a coffee. Won't last though as the sun starts to burn it off. The neighbours next door from Holland will arrive next Thursday for six weeks vacation. Her sister who lives across the street was over doing the weeding in the flower beds and starting to tidy up the yard a bit in anticipation of their arrival. She says her sister does not do any physical activities like gardening - even her household chores are most often done by her husband. Nice eh! Anyway, some of our privacy shall be compromised for this time as they enjoy their balcony and yard, but we cannot really complain, can we?
On with my day.....take care.
P.S. I'm going to try to repost this. P

So what should I do...?
Ah, Saturday morning and Harry just left for his "rounds", and here I am, with a full cup of coffee and pondering. Not really much to ponder as I have the laundry to get at and lots of stuff to do in the house, but really would just like to sit and ponder haha!
it is a nice cooler sunny day today after a full day of rain yesterday. We needed the rain for the yard badly, and for the surrounding area as it has been very dry with extreme fire hazard warnings.
I told you about the Scentsy products. I am quite liking this. I wanted to go to the Market yesterday to see if I could get just one more package, but Harry beat me to it. He went out on his "rounds" yesterday and came home with a gift - a bag full of not one, but seven, packages he purchased at the booth. All varied scents, and one that I really like called Cucumber Lime. I never dd get to the market and after he gave these to me, well, I have no need to go! It is a small thing, and I take great pleasure in using the scents and with no harm done except to bring me joy, why not enjoy!
So, off on another day for me and I better get at it. And look forward to tonight when I can get back to my book - New York Dead with Stone Barrington. This is the first book of the series, and he is still a cop.
And what are you folks up to? Take care
