My Week in Photos

Lets start with today :)
As you can see we are at our Lake...so nice to be back here for the season.
Such a gorgeous view.

Last weekend was the May Long weekend, we celebrate it by crafting at my SIL's camp :)
Her camp is close to the US border and my daughter asked us if we could pick up a parcel for her she had there.
So we decided to make the most of this little excursion and went to the casino for dinner.
While there, Sharon had to play a few slots....she even won a bit of cash :)

This is what happens when my girls get a hold of my phone...silly girls :)

Another beautiful view.
This is from my SIL's deck...beautiful Lake Superior.

When we came home from Sharon's camp, I had noticed these pretty bugs on my lilies.
Come to find out that the multiply like crazy and are destroying my plants.
So I picked them off of my plants...there were over 20 of these guys and I keep checking for more every day.

Ashley and Tyler needed a pet sitter, so I went over to check on Oscar and Sebastian.
For some odd reason, Oscar was very calm and sat beside me most of the time I was there.
Usually he is all jumpy....but he was a good doggy :)

Can't forget about Sebastian :)
The good child of the two.

Today Luna surprised us by jumping on top of the cupboards.
She used to do this all of the time when she was a kitty, but not so much lately.
She was up there watching Heather cut up some chicken.
She was happy when Heather gave her some.

I hope you all have a great creative weekend :)

Documenting my blog

I have always wanted to print out my blog. 

So I thought I would give it a go.....not realizing how long it would take, or how much paper I would need.
Each month takes almost 100 pages…per month!

See this stack of blog posts...this is only 2 months worth, January and February for 2010.

I have a long way to go. 

Look at how cute Sebastian is. 

He is such a good kitty... Unlike his crazy puppy brother. 

When I went to take Oscar for a walk today, I noticed stuffing all over the floor. 

Poor BooBoo stuffy. 

So I played fetch with him for a long time before taking him for a walk. 

I wish I could bottle some of his energy. 

Can you believe tomorrow is the last day of 2015!!!

Pet Sitting

Well look at this cutie :)
This is Oscar, my daughter and son-in-law's puppy.
They are away on a trip so my SIL's sister and I are taking care of their animals

Remember how I said he was a cutie…well he is…but a hyper active cutie.
He loves to jump up on everyone and likes to nip on things.
Today he got my mitt off of my hand, then picked it up and ran away with it….little stinker.

Even though Oscar gets a lot of attention due to his demand for it….Sebastian is just as loved.
He is hiding under the kitchen table waiting for the demon dog to come in from outside, lol.

I picked up some training treats and have been trying to get Oscar to sit and stay.
He is understanding the sit…but not the stay command so much, lol.
He is also very excitable when going on his walks…but he was so good today when I walked him.
He let me put on his collar without jumping crazily and even walked beside me for the walk…so proud of him :)

I haven't been on the internet that much lately…hence no blog posts from me..or me visiting all of your blogs.
I have just been enjoying the holiday with my family and friends, relaxing and eating too much sweets (and lots of pop) and yummy junk food.
I know one of my New Years goals for 2016

Hope you all had (having) a wonderful Holiday :)

My Day in Photos….Cottage Edition

Look who is visiting us up at camp this weekend…Oscar :)

Oscar is Ashley and Tyler's new puppy…isn't he a cutie.
I think we wore him out with all of the walking we did today and his first time swimming.

I had to quickly make a card.

Ashley and Tyler wanted to give Blake a Thank you gift for helping with the wedding and for checking on Oscar in the afternoons when they were on their honeymoon.
Ashley asked me if I could make a card, and was surprised that I don't have card making supplies up at camp.
But I did find a 6x3 piece of card stock and I had my sticker binder with me…so I made it work, teehee.

Wayne and I ran to Ignace this morning.
He needed to get gas for the quads and propane for the BBQ.
Then the girls gave us a small grocery list.

I saw this van with all these bicycles on it at the motel.
I wonder where they were heading.

Wayne and I were going to have breakfast in Ignace at the restaurant, but it looked to be closed for renovations.
So I ran into the Robin's and picked us up each a breakfast sandwich and a juice.
Not the breakfast I was expecting…but it was good.

As Wayne was getting gas and propane, I ran across the highway to get a few pictures of this plane.
I stated on the info plaque that is was made from 3 different planes.

I like the grocery store in Ignace as they have a stationary section….who doesn't love a stationary section :)
I enjoy crafting in the evening in the living room, but don't like to turn on the big overhead light.
So I thought this little lamp was perfect for me when I journal or colour at night.
The only draw back is it has to be hooked up to my laptop…then I realized, I sit right beside my laptop when I do this, so I went back and picked it up.
It also has a tiny fan…which I will propably never use.

Oscar enjoyed chewing and fetching sticks…the bigger, the better, lol.

Tyler, Blake and Ashley made Nacho's for lunch…yumm.

Wayne and I went for a quad ride and I had to stop for this family of partridge having a dust bath.
They did not want to move….after waiting for quite a while, I slowly started to inch up on them.
They still didn't want to move…but when I finally got really really close, they flew into the tree beside me…Sorry little guys for disturbing you.

Oscar enjoyed many walks/runs, a few swims in the lake and lots of playing with sticks and balls.
We really tuckered him out.
He is actually sleeping by my feet right now :)

Oh yes and we picked up these yummy treats…we actually picked up 2 packages…one for the kids and one package for Wayne and I (oink oink)
I really need to get back to healthy eating again…Monday, yes on Monday ;)

Oscar even met a new friend today.
Sonja, one of our camp neighbours, brought over her little puppy, Lucinda.
Lucinda was actually more interested in chasing the chipmunks than playing with Oscar.
Oscar was very good with her.

Sauna time…I hope you all enjoyed your weekend :)
I tried to get a photo of the red moon tonight…but it looks yellow in my photos :(

Pies and Ties

My family teases me that I hoard my blueberries

So I had to prove them wrong, by making a blueberry pie :)

Nothing like a blueberry pie with fresh picked berries :)

I spent a lot of time at Ashley's house, making a big project for the wedding.

I had to go out, but when I came back to Ashley's I couldn't find Oscar, her dog.

Turned out Oscar was sleeping under the bed against the wall.

Isn't he a cutie….he is tuckered out here after playing outside :)

I wanted either Wayne's shirt or tie to match my dress.

He wanted the shirt to match, but they didn't have one in his size.

So we had to settle for a tie and pocket hankie.

He liked the tie, until I told him that I like the little flowers pattern.

After seeing that they were flowers he didn't want it anymore, lol.

So I told him that we need to go to the mall to look for a plain one.

For some reason, he changed his mind on the tie, lol.

MEN.

More wedding projects for me to work on tomorrow :)

I hope you all had a very creative Day :)
