Island News

Well its been a while since we posted so I thought I’d fill in another post.

We’ve had my sister here with us since middle of June and she has decided to head back to Barrie at least for a while to help her kids out and get some business settled up there for herself so she will be flying out to head back in a week. Aug. 8th to be exact.  She says she might be back around Christmas time again

Been watching Big Brother faithfully its actually a pretty good one this time, alot of alliances being broken and stuff, Makes it interesting to see what happens week to week with them .

I’ve been reading a series written by Tim La Haye and Peter Jenkins I’ve read 9 of the 11 books that are out in the series and am waiting for the last 2 books to come into the library so I can finish reading it all after that I will have to wait until next yr to read the last book in the series as it doesn’t come out until march of 04 and then will likely be into the fall before the library has it .

Looks like we could be all alone this fall as our youngest is talking about moving to Alberta either in Sept or Oct. . I will have to find a hobby or get another job to keep me busy, It will sure be different not having to run her back and forth to work each day and to have our days of going to the pool and stuff when she’s not working.

I’m not sure I’m ready for this move she is intending on, Hopefully she won’t be gone long I am hoping that being the homebody she is she will be back home or at least on the Island again to live by next summer .

Wendell has been having a ball with his newest toy he got, his TIVO he’s been programing and all that good stuff now for a while, he gets it running and then decides there is other things he wants to try with it and goes back to the drawing board again with it. But it keeps him busy.

Our dog has discovered how to open cubboard doors recently, he was caught in the pantry cubboard we have munching away on some cookies late one nite after everyone had gone to bed, and apparently he has dragged all the dog food and treats out other nites as well, ( a little midnite snack anyone ?) so I’ve been putting a large plastic spoon in the handles so he can’t get into the pantry cubboard now and the first nite I did that he waited until everyone was in bed and he was scratching like crazy trying to get it open. Apparently the cat was taking this all in because the other day while the spoon wasn’t in the doors we heard the squeeking of the doors and went to check it out and there inside the cubboard with the door shut was the cat checking out all the canned goods!! at 10 yrs old and 14 yrs old they are still learning new things!! . Guess its true that your never to old to learn new tricks!!

Another weekend is upon us, hope everyone gets to enjoy it as there won’t be many summer weekends left!!! hard to believe summer is 2/3 over!!
