I had my first Krispy Kreme Doughnut

All I can say is YUMMY! There was a youth group doing a fundraiser just outside of Wal Mart in Abbotsford yesterday and I had a sample. That's how they sucker you in, because it was soooo yummy I bought a dozen of them for the trip home. We ate 2 each and now I've hid the last 4 in the freezer to take to work on Tuesday to share with the girls. Good thing we don't have Krispy Kreme Doughnuts because I don't think I could say no if I walked by.

We're back in the puddle

We had a lovely week visiting with my sister and family and now reality is setting in. Back to work, back to school. It feels like fall. As we are driving closer to home we see chimney's with smoke in them. We know the season is about to change. BUT the furnace stays off at our house; for heaven's sake-it's still August.

Our drive home yesterday was interesting.
We got home just before 9pm. There was a bad semi truck accident in the canyon and we were stuck there in traffic for over an hour. Good thing we went shopping and out to lunch or who knows what could've happened. The truck part was detached and they used a crane to put it in the back of a dump truck. The driver hit a hydro pole and the power was out for all the tunnels but China Bar. We stopped for dinner at the Husky in Cache Creek. Kels met up with her boyfriend Chris. He seems very quiet, but nice.

Sean had hoped to work on the siding for the next 2 days, but we cannot rent any scafalting. All the rental stores are closed for the last long weekend of summer.

It felt good to be back in my own bed, but I miss my family and friends already. I wish I lived closer than 6hrs drive away. Well at least it's only 6 weeks till we see them again.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Having a good holiday so far

On Sunday we met up with My sister and her family and Mike at Castle Fun Park in Abbotsford. We originally were planning on going to the waterslides, but it was pouring rain. The arcade was fun and we whipped through a lot of tokens. The arcade games gave you tickets and you could cash them in when you were done. My youngest nephew, Gary hit the Jackpot and had over 400 tickets. Sean and I together only had 70 tickets and we gave them to Kels so she could use them to buy candy. When we got back to my sister's house we checked out the weather forecast and Monday looked like the best day for watersliding. So, we spent the day at Bridal Falls Water Slide Park. It was fun(: My sister lost her glasses on the River Raft slide. Luckily, they found them right away. She somehow lost her tube and had to jump out and walk back down. I went on the black hole a few times. Sean and I raced on the little squirts. It was a great day and no rain even though it looked like it was going to rain. Sean ended up with a sunburn, but I didn't get one. On the way back to my sister's we had the top down on the car...it was so sunny and nice.

Shopping with teens...very time consuming

Wii are now proud owners of Rock Band Special Edition. Sean and Kels are having sooo much fun with it. Drums/guitar and vocals! Very awesome and we found it a Costco in Prince George for a really good price. Mike and Kels wanted it sooo bad. I'm sure Mike will be very happy to find out that we have this fine product. He's visiting his cousin in Maple Ridge right now!

















































Kelsey and her friend Autumn went shopping today in Prince George. We managed to buy all the school supplies. The girls wanted to walk around and look in all the stores. Sean got tired of this and went to the car. They had a blast.

The birthday/retirement party

Here's my Dad enjoying his near beer. He can't have any real beer because of his medication for his ulcer. It sure went down good on such a hot day(:

My Dad is now an old F.A.R.T.

Today my Dad turns 65 and is retiring. I had planned on having a nice dinner and cake tonight, but his boss decided to throw him a retirement party and Wed. was the only day that would work. So, that's OK...I've just bumped my plans to the weekend. In the long run that will work out better for me anyways(:
For those of you that don't know why I call my Dad F.A.R.T. I'll explain. When my sister and I were teenagers we bought him a hat for his birthday. On the hat it said F.A.R.T. which stands for fathers against radical teenagers.He still has that hat and still wears it. Then when my daughter became a teenager we called him G.F.A.R.T. Thus making him Grandfathers against radical teenagers. Now that he is a senior citizen he'll be the old F.A.R.T.
Happy Birthday, Dad!

Happy 94th Birthday to my Grandpa Herman

Sheila & Robert's Wedding

The wedding was held in a field out in the country. The Bride and her family were brought in on a stagecoach and the groom and his entourage rode in on their horses. The rain held up just until the ceremony was over. We all headed back to Robert & Sheila's house and that was when a huge rain storm hit. It knocked down some of the decorations and the tents. It did pass over and we had a lovely meal. There was even a camp fire to warm up by. I had a great time and was glad I went.

Those darn squirrels

Not much has been happening around our home in the last few weeks. We had a great time camping over the August long weekend, but my camera is 12 mega pixels and won't upload to my blog. So no camping pictures yet. Perhaps I can get my mom to give me some of her pictures.


Now onto my squirrel problem. Those darn squirrels are cute when you are camping but they are huge pests at home. In July the squirrels were running on our roof at 5am and waking us up. Then they found a way to get into the roof, thus making even more noise. So my hubby put up new sofits and blocked the ends of the metal roofing to keep those darn pests out. This really made those squirrels mad, so they decided to try and get through the sofits and have now wrecked them in several spots. Sean was out late last night nailing up 1X2's so they couldn't get through the screening. This morning we slept soundly..so HA! they cannot get in anymore. Now I'm sure they will move on to the neighbors roof, but hey that's not our problem(:
