I can't believe it is already Wednesday and it is the 13th already of October. The month is going by way too fast.
Tomorrow I am going to have my final wisdom tooth removed, have to have done at a specialists, I guess it is a tricking one and they are going to put me out for it. Donkey has booked the day off to be my driver and babysitter, the lucky boy.
My little dog isn't feeling too well today. Has been really slow moving around the house, his groomer came and picked him up for a hair cut and even she commented that he just isn't himself today. He is 13 years old so he is maybe having an old man day.
Baked a beautiful apple pie today, looking forward to it for dessert, might have it first and then have dinner. Dinner is just some chicken and rice, oh and some nice fresh squash, love this time of year for all the readily available squash.
I have a big surprise for everyone, but I can't tell you yet. Others have to be told first and then I can pass it on. We think we are pleased but only time will tell. And here we go again! What are we thinking, only kidding, it was a choice that we thought will be good for everyone. And really hope that everyone will be supportive.
The weather is really fall like today, the warmth of the weekend isn't here at all now, and kind of raining or at least really trying to be rain, more of a mist. And dark out. Wish we didn't change the clocks and have to deal with the days seeming so short. But I guess it is better than some provinces that it is dark or dusk for months on end. That has got to be depressing.
Had a nice visit yesterday with my Kitten, sat and caught up and drank too much coffee, guess what I was doing all night? Coffee is so good going down, not so much when it wants back out all night long and you can't sleep. But was still a nice visit and worth the lost sleep.
Oh this is cute. We have 5 mature trees in the front of our property and they lose a ton of leaves, of course. Yesterday when I was pulling into the drive a couple of young boys were going by on bikes with rakes, I am thinking oh they are going to stop and ask to do the leaves, how much cash do I have on me. Well the first boy didn't even slow down, the second as he is getting closer is slowing down and chime up "hey are you wanting to rake some leaves?", he looks at all the leaves, we presently don't have any grass and shakes his head "yeah no thanks, I don't think so". Was really funny, because it hit me that this is our youth, yeah they will do the job if it really isn't that big or hard of a job, but if it looks to big or hard they don't want anything to do with it. This is our future CEO's and we have created this lazy society of youths. They don't have to work for anything in most cases because we give them anything and everything they could ever want. And don't make them work for it. I was guilty of it once upon a time with my own children, they did little chores and of course the older they got the more that was expected of them, but I sure wasn't ever handed money whenever I asked for it. I had a part-time job at 12 and babysat as much as I was asked. If I wanted the fancier clothes I earned the money to buy them, I wasn't taken to the mall and have it bought for me. But I guess times have changed. And maybe we are compensating for all those extra hours we work and are away from home and we feel the need to buy our children's love. Just my opinion.
Well it is 6 and I am waiting on Donkey to call so I can throw the chicken in the oven and finish the fried rice for our dinner. It is Survivor night and I really do try to see some of it before Donkey kicks me off of the tv and I have to go and watch tv in bed.
Everyone have a good night!
Love and hugs
And to my brother-in-law, good luck tomorrow buddy we will be thinking of you big time. And sister-in-law you call if you need me, I owe you!

Another One Is Over
Well that is the last long weekend of the year. Hope everyone was able to spend some time with those that you love or at least can tolerate. And had some good food.
Christmas is the next holiday we have, well unless of course you celebrate the American Thanksgiving.
This month I am sure will go down in the history books, 10/10/10, was yesterday. Don't think we are going to see that again in our lifetimes. And there is five Fridays, five Saturdays and five Sundays this month. I have forgotten when this will happen again, but unless you intend to live really really long you won't see this again either.
My Donkey is off golfing today, probably the last time out of the year, well here in Canada anyways. I am sure he will be golfing in Florida come December. Has been a really beautiful weekend weather wise, lots of sun a perfect weekend to go and check out the fall colors. Which I haven't been able to do. Tomorrow I hope to go to my Kitten's house and will be taking the camera and try and get a few shots taken. She has been suffering from a cold of some sort so will have to see how she is feeling tomorrow, I don't go to sick peoples houses and they don't come here. Have a bit of a phobia of the sickly, I am done with hospitals and doctors and I stay away from the ill, my system just can't fight it off anymore.
We had a lovely meal yesterday at the in-laws, was great to see the family (well not all of them), all the kids are sure growing up fast, have to take a second look at some of them to realize who they are. Donkey comes from a large family, eight siblings including him. I was raised alone, all the siblings were grown and gone when I came along, so seeing the interaction of large families always amazes me. I think I might being alone.
My daughter and boyfriend with the kidlets came, very nice to see them. I had picked them up the cutest halloween outfits for this month, so cute. And of course I forgot to take pictures and for once I actually remembered to bring the camera, so typical of me. Either I forget the damn thing or I forget to use it. Last year I left it on the piano when we went to Florida, thank goodness my sister-in-law had hers and shared with me. I have to take pictures of palm trees, I don't know what it is about them but I sure have a lot of pictures of them.
Oh and an update on our weepy basement, I think it has finally stopped. I have been able today to turn off the pump, poor little thing has been working non-stop for weeks it seems. Basement looks good so far, fingers crossed. Left the pump down there just in-case though, we have that kind of luck.
Did I tell you I got rid of that damn piano. If you ever need movers for a piano call Dial A Movers from Orillia, nice guys and they were very respectful of the house and the piano. I hope the family that took it are happy with it.
Well that is kind of it for today, I am suppose to be working and needed a bit of a break, now it is coffee time. Enjoy the holiday today, and will talk to you next week.
Love and hugs

Really it is Thursday Already!
I can't believe it is already Thursday and the long weekend is upon us. Oh and I haven't posted anything since last week. Not really my fault, have been way too busy.
This is good news! I finally got rid of that damn piano! Donkey is so funny, he emails to tell me he was going to take lessons to be able to play in his retirement years at discos. No really, he still thinks there is discos out there somewhere. There isn't, is there?
We thought our basement was finished leaking, but I guess it really isn't. That is this weekends project, hydraulic cement will be plugging up some cracks and holes, whether they are leaking or not. Really would like to be able to close my bathroom window and not have a big black hose sticking out of it. Not a good look in my opinion.
My sister-in-law has flown home as of last night, I am sure she will be happy to be back in her own environment again and able to look after her husband and his sore back (butt actually). They are expected back the end of November to take possession of their new retirement home. Yep we are going to be neighbors, hope they can handle us?! Won't actually be for a couple of years but the price was right and timing couldn't of been better for them. They have some renovations ahead of them, but will be a great place when all done.
So now that the piano is gone I have a very large space to fill up. Would love to buy a new desk, but not sure exactly what I want so I will wait until it jumps out at me. Moved around some furniture to take away the bareness, but not quite happy with the space yet. Tomorrow is another day and I am sure I will move around some more furniture again.
Does everyone have plans for Turkey Day this weekend? We are going to Donkey's family. Tomorrow I am baking one of my carrot cakes with cream cheese, yummy. And Donkey has to cook potatoes for approximately 30 people, happy peeling to you Donkey. Funny in my early retirement we seem to be entertaining less and less and here is me with all the time in the world but no inkling to cook big meals for people that I really don't want here. Isn't that terrible!?
And funny thing is, here I am not cooking turkey dinner, but I bought three of them. They were on sale, and can always have turkey anytime.
I just got a phone call from my Canadian bank and the reason I say Canadian is because they are Canadian, so why can't they have their telemarketers speak damn english!!! I have real issues with people who can't speak our language in our country. If we were in their country you for sure know we would have to be able to speak their language. Have to follow their customs, their religions, schooling, policing, oh I could go on and on. Here, yeah not so much. Come to our country, our beautiful Canada and rape it. That is right we are raping our own country. Our religion is always under question, our school policies change to accommodate, oh and please wear your turban with our police uniform. And if you don't live in our beautiful country then why not work for our employers in Canada in your own country and take away our jobs. Well at least until you can immigrate with your families and then we will just support you until you are able to save enough money to buy another one of our convenience/gas stations and bring the rest of your family over. Why can we not buy cigarettes if we are under aged but some kid that can't speak english can sell them to us? Oh that is right, they sure know how to count our money! Back to my bank, trying to sell me insurance, and they are high pressure sales people, and when you are trying to be polite and explain to them you can't understand a damn word they are saying, they just keep talking. Hello! Can I speak to someone I can understand! Yeah no, I am sorry there is no one available at this time and the pitch continues. And me being me, asked where they are calling from, yep I am right, they aren't even in Canada, they are in some country that I can't even understand the name to. I am sure they aren't making a ton of money, but I bet there is some guy currently looking for work or that is on welfare that could do the job. Keep our work in Canada people! Don't support companies that feel the need to take their business and businesses over seas. Stand-up and complain, you know I will.
Okay that was my rant, and I had no intentions to rant today, just happy to be back on track and catch up with my blogging friends. But there you go, you knew I would find something to rant about.
Well off I go, get something going for Donkey's dinner, spaghetti night. Thursday during hockey season is always spaghetti night. And I do make good spaghetti.
Enjoy the rest of the day, hope it has been a Happy one!
love and hugs

So sorry!
I can't believe the whole week has passed by and I haven't been here since Monday, and I have no real excuse for not staying in touch.
Week has been really busy it seems, and I don't know what I have accomplished. I did get the grandkids halloween costumes. So cute, a fireman costume for my little master and a very adorable witches/candy corn costume for our little princess. A new Winners opened in Orillia and so far so good, it is a nice store. Nice and tidy at this point.
It is terrible that I am sitting here and drawing a complete blank of what to share with everyone. Donkey is in a hockey tournament this weekend so he is MIA most of the weekend, which is okay, I have some serious reading to catch up on.
Oh and I can tell my big secret now! My sister-in-law has purchased the house next door to us, we are going to be neighbors, I don't what they were thinking but they are wanting to live next door to us. Lots of changes! As long as I keep Donkey working on my house or there is going to be hell to pay, well not really but I like to think it.
I am so sorry I am uninspired tonight. We went out for dinner, well my sister-in-law and I did, was a good meal, as always. For those that know me, I have even been out shopping this week a couple of times, and I so hate shopping. I only shop for food and only because I have to feed Donkey or I am sure he would give me the boot, no he wouldn't, who else could live with him.
Oh and this reminds me http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/7192553/ , this is a must watch. I swear if I thought Donkey knew how to make this he would of, but obviously someone else knows us really well. Copy and paste to watch.
Well I am off for the night and the weekend. I will try my best for next week. Oh and just in case you are wondering, our basement is still leaking, pump is still running. Donkeys job for Sunday, well if he is able to do something about it.
Have a Happy Weekend!
love and hugs

Well Aren't I Surprised
"We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty." ~Mother Teresa
How was everyone's weekend? Weather wasn't too bad here, cool out. Busy in my little village with the fall fair, lots of traffic, which confuses us small time folks.
Friday night I spent on the phone with my Greatest friend (7 hours), caught up on everything that we couldn't when she was home last, can't wait till she is back in Ontario and I don't care where in Ontario but we will be there!!!!!
Picked up my sister-in-law Saturday night, she is here for a visit for the next bit, no return date as of yet.
And for anyone who really knows me you will be impressed, I made a decision on a light fixture all on my own for the kitchen finally. The gaping hole in my wall will finally have a purpose. If Donkey isn't too busy tonight he will put up for me and the matching one will be here on Wednesday, I know two lights, all by myself, what is the world coming to.
Oh and for those who were concerned the basement is dry, oh yeah, thank goodness for that. Now if mother nature can keep some of the rain in check we will be good. Oh and thanks for all the help with the pool closing it went great! So glad we can depend on our friends who share our little piece of heaven are good enough to come and help out.
Here comes my rant!
Talking to my Greatest friend on Friday some things were revealed to me which I still am having a real hard time to deal with, I don't doubt her for a second, she is a real friend and would never cause me any bad feelings or harm. As far as she is away she is always here for me! Truths were told that I knew deep down and had questioned about and was given reason to believe I was really losing my mind. Well guess what I am not! Myself and Donkey had some real heart to hearts since our pool party about some things that had supposedly happened and we both had no re-call at all of the events that were being told to us. Yes we had too much to drink (that isn't new at one of our parties), but I was accused of something that I just knew and was shocked that I had done. And really knew I wouldn't of done! And really weird was the people that I had supposedly offended have since called and thanked us for a nice night out and look forward to the next. Okay something is not right I say to Donkey and he of course keeps telling me not to worry about it. Would hate to think that I would of been so rude, okay I can be rude, okay a lot of the time I am rude if I don't like you. But hey you will know it! So to think that I would almost attack someone and have to be pulled off of them, seriously, I am a lover not a fighter. I don't like pain and would never put myself into a position with the chance of getting the crap beat out of me. So why would someone you call a friend remind you repeatedly of this and make you feel even worse. Telling you that this is exactly what you did and had to be physically removed by them and not Donkey, which is weird he is always there to defend me and of course remind me when I am misbehaving. Because boy can I misbehave. And I know I am not explaining any of this correctly and it is confusing, but I am thinking that when this person reads my blog today they will know who they are and will maybe think about the lie they told me and ask themselves why and to what end were they expecting of the outcome. I am really confused about this whole event. Why would someone you call a friend be hurtful and not to just me by the way. They also said some things to my Greatest friend and really don't know how they could ever think to hurt her, why would you cause pain to someone who would never hurt you or anyone else and is the most welcoming of people. The same person who welcomed you into our circle of friends when they didn't have any friends of their own and always make sure they are invited and included. I know they know who they are and feel sad that I so misjudged and hey maybe for the best. Yes this is me being a chicken! How do you say to someone whom you thought was a friend that "yeah don't want you around anymore, this is the last lie you will tell me, because I think I have caught you in a few."
Once upon a time I did a take of my family and friends and really pulled away from those that I just didn't think were who they claimed to be, and it is time again. I have people in my life that I would give my life for! No questions asked! These people know how much they mean to me and I don't have to tell them all the time, even though I really should. These people don't question our relationship or the relationships we have with others, we don't need too. I am not a jealous person, would never accuse someone of a terrible act, I would confront them and ask why or what. I won't tell tales behind your back and really won't tell tales to your face. If I have a problem with anyone you will know it, because I will tell you. And if I am wrong in my actions I will apologize to who I offended. I like to confront all those involved when tales are told and prefer to have you in the same room, no he said she said. And for all my friends and family that have stood beside me or behind me you know this and would never question my loyalty to you or accuse me of something that would hurt me or you. We all make mistakes in this life that we travel but it is wrong to hurt people on that road. And I ask myself why anyone would hurt someone on purpose that they say you love.
In closing, I know I will have to confront this person and listen to more of the tale, well if you are reading this and think this is you and still want to be my friend, I would strongly recommend that you don't bring it up! We will end our fragile friendship and go our separate ways and really too bad, because we did call you a friend, but I guess friendship means different things to different people. We will miss you!
I am emotionally done now!
For all my friends Have a Happy Day!
love and hugs

I have people in my life that I would give my life for! No questions asked! These people know how much they mean to me and I don't have to tell them all the time, even though I really should. These people don't question our relationship or the relationships we have with others, we don't need too. I am not a jealous person, would never accuse someone of a terrible act, I would confront them and ask why or what. I won't tell tales behind your back and really won't tell tales to your face. If I have a problem with anyone you will know it, because I will tell you. And if I am wrong in my actions I will apologize to who I offended. I like to confront all those involved when tales are told and prefer to have you in the same room, no he said she said. And for all my friends and family that have stood beside me or behind me you know this and would never question my loyalty to you or accuse me of something that would hurt me or you. We all make mistakes in this life that we travel but it is wrong to hurt people on that road. And I ask myself why anyone would hurt someone on purpose that they say you love.
In closing, I know I will have to confront this person and listen to more of the tale, well if you are reading this and think this is you and still want to be my friend, I would strongly recommend that you don't bring it up! We will end our fragile friendship and go our separate ways and really too bad, because we did call you a friend, but I guess friendship means different things to different people. We will miss you!
I am emotionally done now!
For all my friends Have a Happy Day!
love and hugs

We have hot water again!
We got the basement all cleaned last night, finished about 11, oh it was so yuck!!! The gas guy came just after 8 this morning, he was able to re-set the water tank no problem, oh thank goodness for that. And now I guess we just wait for next time. But he was good enough to show how to re-set by turning on and off. And small world, he was the same guy that came to do the furnace cleaning earlier in the year that I put in a formal complaint regarding his attitude and his work. He couldn't of been nicer to me today, very helpful and understanding. As Donkey said maybe back earlier in the year he was having a bad day.
So life is good! I am clean and I can clean!
Pool closing tomorrow, who wants to come and help!? Rain or shine!
And it is the fall fair here in my little village, all the red necks will be out and over-take my quiet little haven. It really is a big deal here, brings lots of people to the village, and adds some badly needed income I am sure to the little shops. But for us that live here causes a lot of inconvenience.
I think the grandkids are coming tonight to go to the Derby, again not a fan, too much noise for me.
Can you believe the weather today, I am back in shorts, figure this will be the last time to wear them here in Ontario for the year. Should of cut grass today, but I didn't, maybe over the weekend I will try and get it done for the last time this year. Plants are all winterized and ready for the snow, sorry I said that bad word.
Okay check out this link http://www.sofreshsodry.com/products/fresh-balls/, I was laughing so hard I was crying. Not that I am promoting, it is just funny to listen to this.
Well it is the weekend again, and we have of course lots to do around here as well as the pool closing. Airport tomorrow for my sister-in-law, and she is here for a couple of weeks, I apologize in advance for my lack of posts.
Have a Great Weekend everyone and will share with you next week.
love and hugs

Rain, rain, go away, don't come back ....
Okay so the rain can stop now. Our house was built back in the late 1800's, beautiful old money pit it is. We have been here for just over 16 years and this is the year our basement decides it wants to be an indoor pool.
Woke up this morning to a note from Donkey, "not hot water, I will be right back home", okay that is weird what is going on? Downstairs I look, and I don't go downstairs on my own on the best of days, but the last time my hot water quit they showed me how to re-set it. Okay I can do that, yeah not without a canoe.
So guess what we have been doing today?!
Water everywhere, almost a foot of water, no hot water for us, glad we don't need the furnace.
Donkey and I spent the morning pumping water and cleaning up. Long over due for the clean-up, hell of a way to get motivated. Gas company is coming tomorrow to fix the hot water, well only if there is no water. Oh the drama!
Went into my daughters to have a shower, stinky I was after all that. Tomorrow cross your fingers we will have hot water.
And my sister-in-law is coming Saturday, so we need to have this all taken care of, my head hurts.
Haven't even been link building today, hoping to do while Donkey is at hockey later. Yesterday went out to my Kittens' and taught her some link building, she is now working with my daughter and I. She has a new baby at home, plus her two wonderful young men, oh and her husband (of course) to look after, it doesn't pay to go to work when you have daycare to pay. Why not, stay at home and get paid to read articles, nice gig if you ask me. Oh and don't ask me for work, not hiring.
Well my Donkey is heading out the door for second game of hockey, and that means I should get to work, after I go and pump some water off of the damn pool. Did I tell you it was raining, wow, is it going to let up soon. I hate to say it, and you won't hear me repeat, but would rather have snow.
Have a great night all my friends!
love and hugs
If you don't hear from us in a few days please pop over, we might of drowned, no only kidding, but if you are in the area. ?!
