Summer, Summer, Summer ...


.. is almost over! Where did it go??

Been a busy summer ... we had a LOVELY vacation in a 140 yr old cottage on a 2 1/2 acre island in the Thousand Islands . Got to know the area well thanks to our host and got to experience "nautical life" ... having a boat as your major form of transportation is cool!


I also attended my niece's wedding last weekend. She looked LOVELY, don't you think?. Here's a picture.

I wore a dress I got from ebay. First time I've done that ... it ended up costing $35 Cdn including shipping and (I think) looked LOVELY. See what you think! This is a pic of me in the dress with my Mom.


Now the latest is that my beloved Tiger Cats aren't doing well so far this season. The last game they played was against our arch-rivals the Toronto Argonauts and ... well ... we lost 20-2! The crowd was booing at 1/2 time ... and most people left with 5 mins left in the game. It was AWFUL! I'm hoping that Jason and the boys pull it out Saturday night. They've had some good games (like against Montreal, Calgary and Winnepeg) and then ... well there was one game 29-0. I did get a GREAT Ti-Cat t-shirt which I hope to wear with pride to the next game (and with pride home agian!) Here's a link to the t-shirt (I can't get it to post the pic).

And finally ... I head back to school in just a few weeks. I'm going to do my Master of Education degree at Brock University in St. Catharines. Should be fun! My first class is Sept 12. Looking forward to being a student again!

Hope your summer is going well.
