  • I seem to have become addicted to watching this and this!  Who knew that Peregrine Falcons could be so fasinating! Other than that there isn't much new to report. Summer is here, life is good.

  • I've not been on too much lately as we have all been taking turns being ill. Really ill with the pukes, trots and vile headaches. Just for good measure, fever and stomach cramping is thrown into the mix.


    I am not sure what is going on here on the west coast but we are in a record breaking heat wave. Yesterday was 33C. and today is already 28C and it isn't even noon yet. I know, it is hotter where you live, lol, but we aren't used to it here and air conditioners are not a common addition to homes.


    I got a great email yesterday from a friend. She wanted to confirm that we had received her booking for our "Penthouse". She also wanted to make sure we had a pier for her to park her yacht. She enclosed a picture of said yacht.

  • For those of you who are unaware,  Steve and I recently purchased
    (May 15th) a penthouse apartment up on the lake as an investment property. We wanted to keep it on the low until everything went through. It is available to be rented for weekends or by the week. We have included a link to a photo that will show you the awesome deal that we got (and would like to share with you). A picture is worth a thousand words.


    I will handle the initial bookings myself while Steve searches for an appropriate real estate agent to manage the property or if you know of a real estate agent that can handle a property of this caliber, please refer them to Steve or I.


    Weekends would be approximately $120 (friends rate) for 2 nights, and $400 for the week. We will let you know when we start taking reservations for this penthouse with its amazing view of the surrounding area.


    Maid service daily is part of the deal and rest assured the elevators are always in good order.


    PLEASE CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE PHOTO OF OUR NEW PENTHOUSE


     


    Please let us know if you are interested.

  • Kevin and Heather are on their way home. Here is a picture of all of us, minus me and the baby.



    The funny thing on Scott's head is a bandana he won in his Lacrosse tournament yesterday for MVP. Well he didn't win it for the whole tournament, but for one game. Each game they played someone won for MVP and most sportsmanlike.

  • OMFG!!!! Talk about getting the bestest Mother's Day present ever!!!!! Annie and I went to WalMart tonight to pick up a few things. We'd only been there 5 minutes when my phone rang. It was Steve, telling me I'd better get home, and NOW. My heart started to pound, thinking something was wrong with one of the kids. I managed to ask him if everything was ok. He answered with, "I guess it's ok, if you call Kevin and Heather showing up at the door ok!! ROFL!!!


    They found out two weeks ago they'd be coming back earlier than planned, and he wanted to surprise everyone.  Isn't that the most amazing thing???!!!

  • I just got some pictures from Kevin. I have to share one. This is his Platoon with their medals. :)



    He is in the top row, second from the right. When I told him I didn't recognize him, he said it was because he had on his badass cool desert guy look.

  • Not Your Typical Inspirational Story


    I was happy. My girlfriend and I had been dating for three years, and we decided to get married. My parents helped us in every way, my friends encouraged me, and my fiancée? She was a dream! There was only one thing bothering me, and that was my mother-in-law to be. She was a smart, confident career woman, but most of all she was unbelievably sexy. She often openly flirted with me, which piqued my curiosity and made me quite uncomfortable at the same time.


    One day she called me and asked me to come over to review the wedding invitations. When I got there, I realized she was alone. As we looked at the invitations, she whispered in my ear: "Soon you will be married, but you must know that I have feelings for you that I can no longer ignore. Before you commit your life to my daughter, please make love to me just once".


    I was in total shock.... what could I say? As I sat there dumbfounded she said: "I'll go to the bedroom, and if you share my yearnings, just come up and take me." Still dazed, I watched her magnificent form as she wisped up the stairs. I stood there for a moment, unsure of what to do, and then turned around and went to the front door. Slowly, I opened it, and stepped out of the house. Amazingly, her husband was standing outside. With tears in his eyes, he hugged me and said: "We are so happy. You have passed our little test. We couldn't have asked for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family."


    I will never forget the day I earned the trust of my in-laws, nor the valuable life lesson I learned on the front steps of my wife's childhood home ............... always, always, always, keep your condoms in your car.

  • My brother and his wife are divorced with two young children. My ex-sil recently began dating a man who is much older than her . He is in his 50's. She told my brother that she hasn't introduced him to the kids yet. He asked her why not, then told her they'd be sure to love him as they'd never had a grandpa before. LMFAO!!

  • Dracula and the Nuns


    Two nuns, Sister Catherine and Sister Helen, are travelling through Europe in their car. They get to Transylvania and are stopped at a traffic light. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a tiny little Dracula jumps onto the hood of their car and hisses through the windshield.


    "Quick, quick!" shouts Sister Catherine. "What shall we do?"


    "Turn the windshield wipers on. That will get rid of the abomination," says Sister Helen.


    Sister Catherine switches them on, knocking Dracula about, but he clings on and continues hissing at the nuns.


    "What shall I do now?" she shouts. "Switch on the windshield washer. I filled it up with Holy Water at the Vatican," says Sister Helen.


    Sister Catherine turns on the windshield washer. Dracula screams as the water burns his skin, but he clings on and continues hissing at the nuns.


    "Now what?" shouts Sister Catherine?


    "Show him your cross," says Sister Helen. "Now you're talking," says Sister Catherine.


    She opens the window and shouts, "Get the fuck off the car!


    I've been asked where we are going to that I need a passport. To Las Vegas. I know, a passport isn't absolutely needed, but after talking to a friend, we decided to get them. Her and her dh recently returned from California. They had no problem getting into the US, but did have a hell of a time getting back into Canada! Now we may like visiting there, but we do prefer Canada!
