Workn' on the house!

Last week Colin and I had our one year anniversary so we decided to celebrate by taking a few days off and working on the house, which is the same thing we did for our honeymoon. Colin worked non stop tiling our counter top and backsplash and it looks incredible and I worked away at painting tidying and moving furniture in the front room. (originally this room was panelling....eww) So now the house is looking spiffy and we are so happy we were able to get both jobs done before winter. Thanks cooks for the home depot gift card, love you. Happy anniversary Colin, thank you for working so hard on the counter it looks incredible.

The Three Legged Race

On the weekend my brother Ken and I entered the church picnic three legged race. We have never lost a race together and this race has become a tradition for us. This year a bet had been made to race my mom on her own with us two tied together. The deal was that if we lost we had to clean my moms bathrooms and if mom lost she had to make us home made pnacakes from scratch. Needless to say mom was busy making pancakes the next morning. Matt and Brendon think they can beat us next year but we'll see about that!!!!!

A New Friend

My brother, Norm, asked me to take care of his fish and snail while he is away fro the summer. Things were going great but after a really hot weekend the snail sadly passed away. (heat stroke) So I moved the fish downstairs where it became the new salon mascot, "Red." I went to the pet store and bought a new snail, named...snail. It is orange and so the two have become good friends and are living happily in the salon.

Maggie loves the cottage!

On the weekend, Colin, Maggie and I went to the cottage fro some R and R and Maggie loved swimming and sniffing round. We went on lots of walks and had lots of naps, maggie explored a little rock island. She is learning to swim these days, getting too deep makes her nervous still so she is working on it. Colin and I had a great weekend and we woke up sat monring to find a deer on the front lawn. It was a great weekend!

Camping at Bass Lake

On the weekend, Colin Rachel, Derek and I went camping at Bass Lake just near Orillia. We spent Friday night until Sunday there and had a fantastic time. The weather was amazing until late saturday night when we got a huge thunder and lighteneing storm. Saturday was beautiful though, we spent all day on the beach and we cooked outside and did the whole tent thing and had a great weekend. Thanks for coming Rach and Derek!

Girl's Night

Last week my best friend Rachel and I decided we needed a girls night in so we got the movie, "the breakup" and did our nails. It was a much needed escape from the ormal routine. Thanks for the great night Rach!!! Love ya!

Poor Molly

Our neighbour's dog, Molly, got really sick and ended up at the animal hospital. After many days and nights at the vet he recovered but the illness took a toll on Molly's fur. she had to have her fur all shaved off. she loks pretty pathetic but hopefully she will grow some fur back soon. I'm glad Molly is feeling better and back to her old self again.
