Happy 80th Birthday Irene!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, talk about Dog drama! Betty @ Aquafit offered to take us & the demons for a walk thru a Park along the shore of Lake Ontario. We warned her about "looking" @ Propain....cause he doesn't roll like that - LOL
We unload the dogz & instantly they start growling @ Betty (78 yrs young) Lucky she is a dog person & didn't take offence.
Along the path we came across Many other dogz (look away, look away) Alot of folks on Rollerblades, bikes & jogging.....dogz were a little freaked out @ 1st, but kept walking. When we came to the lake, Both dogz were Spazzin' out. I tried to get them to sniff or step into the water, but they wanted Nothing to do with that weird dangerous stuff that was moving.
Round trip was about 45 minutes. Good for the 1st time. I hope to book Betty again next wk. We Could do it ourselves, but she knows All the other people along the trail. She was fantastic about rushing & telling the people "these are Not friendly dogz, don't let your dog come closer" I'm sure after a few times, the dogz will get comfortable with the trip. They crashed & slept for over an hour after the outting. We have hope that Propain will be ok, he was Fantastic @ class on Sunday - yippeee

Eleanor & i went to Fabriclandwest.....I Didn't need any fabric, but wanted to see Eleanor. Welllll I did it! I went in, shopped & left with ALL my money! The last few times Fabricland had a special one, I spent $ - I don't think they will miss my few bucks. Was a cheap afternoon.....all I spent was for mu lunch - yippeee!

We went to the little "Breakfast" joint across the street. We like their all day breakfast. Well today they cooked my eggs in "Butter" If you are Lactose intolerant, you know what that means! ( bloated, diarhea, & feeling aweful ) The dogz like the eggs, sew it wasn't a total waste.

Kari has dug the footings for my Sunroom. I am cleaning out the closet, which will be transformed into a beautiful sunroom - will post pics mid-way. Well going back out to enjoy the rain. Tomorrow will be sunny & maybe the posts can be cemented in. No more work can happen today because of the weather....sigh

ohhhh this is the little Propain sleeping on the pull out couch.
As soon as it's opened, he jumps in....No invitation needed.
 I don't know what we will do if we ever get company.
His body stretches almost the entire length of the mattress.

Took the brats to the grocerystore parking lot all by myself today.
 It was raining and the kids were getting out of school.
The Fear was evident in Propain's eyes.
Thank goodness BBQ was mellow....she calmed Propie down enough for him to do his "Watch me" and sit.

Kari is up north helping a buddy move his house trailer.
Wish he would get home so I can Stop cleaning. LOL

Finally downloaded the pics of my Unexpected gifts @ Eleanor's place. I met with Irene Ryder, who was a fellow member @ East Toronto Quilt Guild, many yrs ago. Irene brought these Gifts to share with us....quite a surprise.
On the rigth is "Pebble Head". It is a "fabric trading card" Irene made. <> It is a hand painted & embelished 2 x 3 card. The Pebble head has a cute little face painted on it. The Envelope is a beautiful Fall scene from a calendar.
Irene is quite talented & showed us her new direction in Fiber Art. Good going girl! Many thanx for the cute Trading card & envelope.

*ohhhh i know this pic is cheesie, but they look Sew freakin' cute. It's My "blog" & I'll post what I like - LOL

*Also getting New pics to post....Cute little gifts I was given while @ Eleanor's place. Just have to download & resize.

*Planted my pansies....I waited too long, they looked frightful. Tomorrow I must dig up a bunch of flowering bushes. Kari is fixing the droopy back deck & the new posts have to go right where my garden is - isn't that special!

Give me a good reason to buy New plants. I have my eye on a beautiful "Russian Olive" ( grey/green color) tree & also a "Honey Locust"(Lime Green color) I think the contrast will be awesome in the back field, Hate to spend $150.oo......but hey, it's only Kari's money - LOL

Today "brave" Precious walked around the dogz, oblivious to any possible danger. They were eating all the "Dragon Fruit" I threw out to the birds.

It has been a Super hot day, instead of the Rain they were calling for. We ended up having Another "Pool" day,after doing our rounds with the dogz. We took them to the park, Pet Smart, grocery store & a nice long walk along a side street. When we got out of the car today, Kari grabbed Propain's body harness to remove the lease. This usually results in a bite, but not today. Propain's eyes bugged out, but he waited until the lease was off. Our fingers are crossed we can turn him around.
