Just catching up. Too bad about car accident Carolla. Glad no one was injured.
Well Mrs. Anteater-the house does sound like a decent investment. When we (former husband) bought our first house it was old (30 panes of broken glass) and we certainly spent many hours on it but got our money out of it. We also rented out a bedroom to a student for a number of years.
Mendalla-I predict a bigger adjustment for you and your wife then your son!

and crazyheart as a recent traveller I am pleased with the number of charging stations in airports-and even one restaurant had a USB adapter plugged in for travellers to use.

We're leaving Muskoka tonight. If we wait until morning, the traffic will make us wish we were driving from Ottawa.

Been there, done that, didn't even want the t-shirt (okay, it was Haliburton rather than Muskoka, but same principle).
 
I was at lunch at a restaurant a while ago - two men came in & were looking at all the vacant tables - above and under them. At first I thought 'oh they must have left something behind' - but then I realized they were looking for electrical outlets - to plug in their devices during their meal! I have seen the tables-side outlets in some newer restaurant & coffee shops.

Hopefully you'll be ahead of the cottage traffic coming down from Peterborough & Haliburton area!
 
I was coming the opposite direction yesterday afternoon (up the 400 rather than down), because I'd been over to Huron County, and let me tell you, a very huge number of people had decided to beat the traffic by leaving a day early.

My father was a somewhat dispassionately cruel man at times, and one of our summer Sunday night entertainments as a child was to drive over to the closest bridge over the 400 and laugh at the people just sitting there.
 
Isle people ... stopped for a thought? An icon of entropy ... taking a measure of chaos ... disorder ... or justly dissonance! Thus imaginary thoughts Eris ... in esse antes ... the surrounding sometime expressed as sheave in the pasture ... where a man can be secured by unspeakable distractions ... untouchable metaphors? Well phoqah-dead in Hebrew ... walking about suffering loss of thought by a sudden flash? In sight? You did know that "in" once was interpreted as non, or not ... even nun in middle eastern dialects ... in Greek this was shifted to huh, or hun with ease ... gotta L'veit!

We folk who live in Beaverton are not big fans of long weekends. Try making a turn on to or off of Highway 12 when you're faced with seemingly endless lines of traffic and drivers who are rarely inclined to stop and give you a break by letting you in. We try not to go far on long weekends.

Short sheaved?????
 
I'm not travelling anywhere much...just to my sister's to celebrate my mom's 84th birthday. I made a zucchini cake for her birthday. With the leftovers from the pretty-big zucchini, I also made 2 batches of zucchini cookies. They're in the freezer as emergency company cookies.

When I walked my dog this morning, it was so peaceful and quiet. There wasn't a lot of traffic, no pedestrians, and no school buses yet. That peace will certainly get disrupted tomorrow.
 
Woke up with a nasty headache this morning. Ended up spending most of the day and night on and off sleeping, trying all the tricks to dump a headache.

Got nothing done.

Bag humbug.

Now headache is only on the periphery and I am wondering if I can sleep tonight

Sorry to hear Pinga. I suffered through such a headache a couple of weeks ago. :( Hope yours totally dies out and just stays away.
 
Blueberries and peaches and cream, along with warm biscuits for breakfast this morning. Help yourselves. Beautiful day in NB, although it is going up to 26 this afternoon - after two days of 'light jacket' weather.
 
Hope you beat that headache Pinga! And Seeler....our weather is definitely more fall-like than what you will be experiencing. Today is my second first day of school of which I will not be a part. I went to a friend's classroom last week, admired it, but felt no real longing to be part of it. So I guess retirement WAS the right way to go.
Just a little sidebar: At our family get-together last night, the 18-year old in our midst announced that she was half-atheist. I'm still chewing on that piece of information.

"Half atheist"? Isn't that a bit like "half pregnant"? Or is it really just a way of saying "agnostic" when she doesn't know or understand the word "agnostic"?

Mine's been atheist for years. He has mellowed a bit on religion, but is still a bit of a chansen-in-the-making.
 
I tried to explain agnostic to her, but she wasn't listening...going more the attention of shock factor I think. We told her that at our age, not much shocks us. And then my sisters and I shared a few stories from our past....She was shocked!
 
Waiting at St. Joseph's Health Center in Toronto. It's my first appointment with a urologist. Prayers appreciated.

Or I 'ave conceived ... thus alien cognizance ... strange stuff of the sol ... that is said to be complex, indeterminate and imaginary in #'s ...

If not strange ... would it have captured your senses?
