Happy Canada Day (or Dominion Day, as us oldsters like to call it). A fine day overall, did groceries and had fun at costco which was almost empty because everyone thought it'd be closed, then a short rest before going to dinner at a neighbour's who had a perfect view of the fireworks from her rather chilly balcony. An interesting dinner group, including a rather nice eligible man who I'd like to get to know better... He had to leave early for a flight to England, no idea if he's as available as I thought. Probably gay or interested in skinny young things, but one never knows... The others included an older man who was born and grew up in Zimbabwe, and who had some interesting viewpoints to contribute. Not your every day boring gathering - rather refreshing and good for the little grey cells to dine with a rather intellectual but unpretentious group.
Ruth and Happy, the whole Jumanji thing is just as big a mystery to me as to every one else. Mel suggested it as a joke, and somehow we all got on board. Maybe we should all rent the movie and get with the program? All I know is a lemur hissed at me as I got on the elevator today, so I'll be watching what beasts are lurking as I go about my business...
Happy, I'm so jealous that you're off to Supertarget - I've only been to regular target and didn't get there at all this trip. I did manage Trader Joe's, another favourite... It took me a minute to get it, but I'm on board for Mel's suggestion for July at Jappy's if we need to change - had to find my Spanish persona - after which I laughed my a** off, but would love to be by the pool - and I'd be in every day, given my lower northern temp expectations.
Mel, love your donkey - is he republican or is that the elephant? Can never remember. Enjoy the few days left until our July 5 liftoff... !!!!! And thanks for the Jumanji synopsis. Was Robin Williams the lost tour guide? It'll be noisy here tonight, tomorrow is a holiday, then it'll be back to normal. I feel your pain about the deconstruction starting up again.
Shad, glad to know you're home safe. I'm impressed - could never do the quick turnaraound you have to pull off to get to Groote in time! I still haven't done my laundry... Because of your cat experience in my guest room/office, I'm buying a single inflatable I can postion away from the cat tree and window shelf... Think of yourself as the guinea pig who will make all future guests sleep much better...
Ruth, I'm almost tempted to drive down to Delta to join in the festivities. The urge will no doubt pass by tomorrow, but you never know... then again, maybe it'll all be over after tonight? Would love to meet the doggage... If the urge becomes overwhelming I'll call to make sure there's still something to see. Not that a visit with Hershey and Lucy and Ruth and a little maple syrup shopping wouldn't be more than enough...
Good night ladies. Sleep tight, be well, and may the missing wordlies find their way back to us.
