PB&B

Ever had peanut butter and banana sandwiches for dinner? Well, I have. That and trail mix were our dinner tonight because it is too darn hot to even make toast.




We sure had a wonderful three weeks of holiday time. At the end of our Vancouver Island getaway, I was whisked away for a surprise two night stay at the http://www.kingfisherspa.com/ . It was heavenly. We had the romance suite and it was, well, romantic. While I admired the ocean view, my wonderful husband, (in anticipation of our fifth wedding anniversary on July 28th) , whipped out the matching diamond solitaire to my wedding band. Did I cry? You bet your ass I did. I have never in my life been so surprised and spoiled. Talk about a grand gesture!
I have scads more photos so you may see a post or two more like this one...stay tuned.
Catch ya later, Bean.

Happy Canada Day, eh?



 Happy Canada Day! We spent the day in the park and happened to see two school friends and played happily with them for a couple hours. I saw lots of acquaintances and the music was fabulous. This photo is from last year. This year, I left all things electronic at home and just enjoyed the day. We are gearing up for summer fun and so things may slow down around here quite a bit, but that doesn't mean I don't still love you all. I will still pop in here and there to let you know what I am up to. Presently I am freshening up my highlights and rubbing my sore feet. We did a lot of walking!
 I baked some sandwich rolls a while back which worked out very well. they were half whole wheat, half AP flour. I was able to freeze them and pull them out as needed for sub sandwiches. I know I posted recently about the deer that roam around outside but I couldn't resist this little guy. He was cavorting alone out there while I was eating some dim sum, and I managed to zoom my lens just in time to catch him. Even at this young age, he knows enough to keep a natural barrier between him and whomever might happen along. These glimpses in the open were short, and I took a zillion pictures before I got a few decent ones.

Isn't he precious?

Well, I hope you all have a great summer. I may be back tomorrow, then again, it could be weeks. Who knows? I am not on a schedule. Woo-hoo!
