Wow! Two weeks in a row I am blogging. Go me! It was a busy week at work, a bit stressful, but still enjoy working at the store. As I said last week, Mr. & Mrs. Boss went to a trade show in Calgary. I got by grinding the hamburger with out any injuries. Kept the meat and produce coolers looking presentable. A couple glitches in our plans though. 1) If I ran out of anything from Tuesday’s order I could always order from our other supplier on Thursday. This didn’t happen. Mr. Boss knew before he left that this this company would be closing down in the next couple weeks but all of a sudden I found out it was closing Saturday and our sales rep called and told me there wasn’t much sense in ordering as it was all but cleared out. Our store is “Clover Farm” a low rung on the big corporation of “Sobeys“. 2) Mrs. Boss had the schedule for the week to make sure I had lots of help for the freight order to come in this coming Tuesday . I was informed by the truck driver that ...24 days ago
I don't really understand why when we change our clocks back that it is said we get an extra hours sleep. I have no problem falling asleep it's staying asleep after I have my early morning bathroom run. Yesterday, a Saturday, I forced myself to stay in bed 'til 5:30. Now this morning with the time change I tossed and turned 'til 4:30 and was so bored and restless I just got up and dressed. So after being awake for and hour it is still only 5:30. I mean this is a Sunday, lay iin bed until til I have to ready for an 11am church service! Sheesh! On a positive note I finally have the time to blog and let all my dear friends in blog land know I am still here and alive. Working full time has really put a damper on my blogging time hasn't it? This week as Mr & Mrs Boss are gone to a trade show in Calgary I plan to put in a couple hours extra here and there at the store doing some extra work. Mr. Boss has delegated me to grind up hamburger and keep an eye out on the produce and ...

Ayla was bad again. I was in the yard and a robin came swooping down all excited then took off to the big tree in the corner of our yard. First I thought an eagle was upsetting the neighbour hood birds then I thought...Ayla!...so I ran to the tree thinking she was up the tree, but the robin still chirping wildly darted back to the deck. Then I heard an answering cry under the deck. I struggled to get my "child bearing hips" through an opening all the while yelling at Ayla. Finally I found her with a baby robin behind a supporting beam. Will lots of yelling at her I was able to secure the baby robing and get it and me out from under the deck. The mother was still calling frantically to it's young. First I climbed chair and put the baby on the roof of the building, still the mother never came for him/her. Then I put it in the "Y" of an apple tree. It just stayed there with the mother flying between trees. Finally I gave up and took possession of the bird ...121 days ago
( bright yellow field of Canola) Well another filled weekend is over....time for a rest and return to work :) Straightened up the house on Saturday morning, planned to garden in the afternoon but plans changed. Megan had come out the night before so in the afternoon we played "tourist" in visited some craft shops in the two communities. She never got time to shop for my Birthday gift so we had fun looking for "it". It turned out to be a crafted necklace, a pair of starfish earrings and the tiniest pewter cat ornament I have. Just the two of us hanging out was fun. Before church on Sunday Homer and I went sea glass hunting. Last year I went twice a day most days but with a fuller work schedule and one car this was just my fourth time all summer! After church was the big weekend event for me. As other years, it was the Northumberland Fisheries Festival. This year the Poker Run, always on Sunday to finished up the festival, ...

I kind of took a little holiday from blogging/blog-walking. Sorry for any concerns. I have even been sleeping in instead of getting up early before work to blog walk...well if you call 6:30 or 6:45 sleeping in lol! Since my last blog I've been busy, when not working, mostly in the garden. Chad and Adina (& Lexi) arrived a few weeks ago and are staying with us until they move into their apartment the 1st of August. Busy with two dogs and one cat and four adults coming and going all the time. The girls were out a couple times so there have been late nights talking and playing board games. Friday night and all day Saturday I was able to mingle with many other Sea Glass enthusiasts and our first annual Mermaid Tears Sea Glass Festival. Just a 25 minute drive from my home too! Tonight we have our commissioning service for our new church, now named "Memorial United". This is similar to a "grand opening". Many former ministers will be there so it ...
