Picking tomatoes ... squash ... lettuce and cucumbers ...

yummy ... !!!

Our neighbour used to raise ostriches ...

a few of the hollowed out eggs were given to Kendall's grandmother ...

Wilda Tengum ...

She was an amazing artist ... and loved to paint them ...

This one was given to me by Lorraine ... Kendall's mom ...

She had asked me to give it to our neighbours ...

as a remembrance of their ostrich eggs ...

We decided to go fishing again ... not sure how many more days we will have ...

as it was getting later in the season ...

It started out to be a nice day ...

We could see the clouds moving in ... as well as the wind creating some waves ...

We persevered the rocking ...

and managed to catch our limit of Kokanee ....

The water had calmed down ...

just at the right time for us to load the boat on the trailer ...

Once we reached the house ...

the fish were cleaned ... then placed in the fridge ...

to be filleted the next day ...

for another batch of smoked Kokanee ...

 

 

Turn Table Playing ...

July 18, 2014

After the new flooring was installed ... we still had stuff to put away ...

All these albums (vinyl discs) were stored in the wardrobe in the living room ...

the kids howled when they saw them ... they had no idea of what they were or did ...

so Grandpa took the kids downstairs where we still have the old record player ...

he put on our boys Disney's  Children Favourite Music ...

James and Ella were laughing and singing to all the old tunes ...

Grandpa joined in to dance to the Hokey Pokey ...

putting his left foot in ... what a hoot ... !!!

The guys were outside in the shop ...

so Ella came in and helped me ice a chocolate cake ...

Craig was helping Grandpa with the VW ...

they needed to lift the body off the chassis ...

and then move the chassis outside ...

in order for Grandpa to back the trailer in to haul the VW body away ... 

"Hooray"  Craig said ... "We did it" ... !!! 

I was so hot outside ...

the kids decided to do some crafting ...

in the basement ...

It was nice and cool down there ...

um ... looks like Craig went a little stamp crazy ... !!!

After dinner ... the kids went out to ride their bikes and quads ...

Grandpa needed a hand ...

pushing the VW ... back into the shop ...

Great job you guys ... !!! 

Going To The Faire ...

So excited to be going to the Faire ...

to see my dear friend Dagmar ...

She is sharing a booth with Cindy to display and sell ...

some of their vintage treasures ...

that they have accumulated over the past year or more ... 

I wonder what treasures I will come home with ... !!!

Craig's Artwork ...

We were blown away by this picture ...

of a drawing that Craig had created ...

Apparently he drew this just off the top of his head ...

AWESOME ... So Talented ... !!!

Thank you Katie for sending this ... love seeing all the creations ...

from all the grandchildren ...
