Cooler air---finally

 It has been a very hot and humid week, with rain with some lightening but, very little thunder last night.  Cooler this morning when I woke, a little later than usual, that's okay it's Sunday and day of rest.

August 11, Monday

Did some more laundry and housework, it's seems that it always needs to be done, doesn't it.  Dinner was just a healthy salad with some salmon out of a tin, it was just too uncomfortable to turn on any heat to cook something.  After eating I grabbed my camera and went looking for the sunflower field I had seen on FB.  Found it, such lovely flowers, had a hard time seeing some of them, just too tall for little old me.  Another couple were there also, and they had the perfect way to see the best blooms, they were on a four rung step stool.  They were short like me.

My ex had purchased a subscription for a local theatre and today we went to see the performance, "Sexy Laundry".  A play of a married couple of 25 years were trying to rekindle there marriage at a posh hotel.  We heard all of the reasons why their life was not as they had hooped it would be and divorce was discussed.  In the end they lived happily every after.    It was funny and sad in some parts of the performance, I enjoyed it.  The ex, not so much I don't think.

Another scorcher, and I visited some friends.  We had not seen each other for several months, time to catch up again.  They had just returned from visiting their daughter who lives on the east coast, so heard all of their adventures there.  Some wine, nibbles, and great conversation filled the afternoon.  

August 14, Thursday

Today, would have been my mother's 108th. birthday, it does not seem possible she has been gone for 6 years.  The family always had a birthday party and reunion as close to her birthday was we could, I miss those get togethers.   So, on August 16th. my DD1 is hosting a reunion for my family.   Time to get making some things to put on the table for dinner that day.   A dip for the snacks, date squares, butter tarts and salad will be my contribution.  Today the squares and tarts were made.

August 15, Friday

A small grocery shop and went looking for some sandals, hoping to see some on an end of Summer sale.  Lots to look at, however, as I have aged my feet have got wider, just like the rest of my body, LOL  Did not have much luck, either too high in the heel, too sparkly, etc, so will try another store this coming week.   Friday, so it was happy hour in the lounge, it is always a lot of fun, laughs and nice conversation with all who attend.   Most Fridays the "hour" ends up being a lot longer and this was the case today.  

August 16, Saturday

Everything all made and ready to go to London, ON to meet up with family.   A lovely sunny day, but hot again, DD1 and SIL have a shaded back garden, so it was quite comfortable for the afternoon.  Not everyone in my family was able to come, that's okay though, I know they are busy and live too far for a day trip.  They are all well, so that is what matters.  When DIL arrived she was wearing a cast on her right foot, broken bones from hitting the base of their bed while making it.  No driving, golf games and curling might be off the agenda later this year.  A great day was had by all,  and we decided to have another reunion next year.  My three children and their spouses discussed where they would all like to go for a family trip next Spring. I am going too.   Lists are going to be made for a discussion later.

August 17, Sunday

After the much needed rain overnight, the sun is trying very hard to show it's face again, and appears to be successful.  A lazy day for me.

Have a great day

Cheers.
