Good Morning and Welcome to Monday the 1st day of August, 2016.
Today is a holiday for me and my fellow Albertans.
This is a Civic Holiday here in Canada.
It is nice to have that extra day off and most months we have a “Stat Holiday.”
Well yesterday was gorgeous for the most part and I took advantage of the goodness by taking a walk early with Alvin and then in the afternoon once the grass and topsoil had dried, I cut the lawn.
It was great timing as last night and through the night it rained, and rained and rained.
We sure have been having a lot of rain this summer.
Not it is time for some sunshine.
I am grateful for a bit of a break in the heat …. that humidity can suck the life right out of a person.
Well I think that today will be a quiet day.
My daughter may be coming over for a visit today.
I have not seen her for awhile.
They are still without hot water and it is almost one week.
You never know what can happen in the eye of a storm.
I do not think that they will ever know exactly what happened.
The pups, their Elton and friend “Casey” unfortunately cannot articulate the event.
I am grateful that no one was hurt.
Yesterday I also managed to squeak in an order for the Steeped Tea BOGO Event.
Thank goodness.
I am hoping that August will be a good month for selling tea and products; the new catalogue will help for sure.
It is nice to know that tomorrow morning I do not have to stay up at 5:00 and get ready for work.
I have lots of things to do but I can do them at my pace.
Well I guess time to go and finish this mug of coffee …. nothing like a cup of coffee in the morning.
I taped Pioneer Woman as I do not remember this one and she was making Peanut Satay Chicken skewers for a party with her girl friends.
It looked yummy.
I have had store bought peanut satay but to make from scratch would be great.
I hope that wherever you are and whatever you are doing that you have the best day ever.
Stay safe, cool, warm and happy.
Special Hello to: whoo whoo SKYPE tonight with my sister…..
Always, Carol and Alvin
