I decided to try and do something with my web page. And my brain has been fried by the heat wave.

So I spent the whole afternoon and managed to get one more item up, but it is not right and I will have to wait for my daughter to come and rescue me again.

So to make myself feel better I am going to order dinner in and drink a couple of glasses of wine and after midnight I think I might just go "skinny dipping".

I spent yesterday cleaning the pool and sweeping out the ugly fish flies. Angus chased them and ate them for lunch - well at least I know he is getting a lot of protien.

Hey, in a lot of cultures crickets are good to eat, maybe Angus knows something I don't.

Now that I have had my own little "pity party", I will go and open that bottle of wine - please join me if you like.

Then for dessert I am going to have a bowl of strawberries that I picked myself with some ice cream (calories be damned).

This is the most relaxing place. The middle of the island is farmland and all around the shores are the summer cottages and B & B's. Everything has to be brought in by ferry and of course the main industry on the island next to tourism is the Winery.

The Winery grounds are beautiful and when you go inside you can go on a guided tour of the winery and they take you down to the cellars and you have wine tasting (which is very good).

As I mentioned before you can either bring your own picnic and use thier "barbies" or you can purchase all the food you want and then do your own cooking.

I highly recommend this as a great get away place.

Lunch

Went with four of my best friends very early today to Pelee Island , the most Southern place in Canada. If you look at an atlas it is on a line with Italy and is a wonderful wine making area. We visited the Pelee Island Winery. They have neat facility where you bring your own food or purchase it there and barbecue. We took our own salads and purchased our meat there. We naturally had to have wine, so we did the wine tasting thing and decided on which wine we wanted. Like I needed more wine after I had taste tested three kinds.

But the best part is that you have to take a ferry ride of approximately 90 minutes and it was a glorious day to be on the water.

I am now tired and sunburned (not bad though) and will post some pictures tomorrow, when I know my own name.

Last summer in August I played host to several of my daughter's friends. They traveled from New Orleans, Ottawa and Seattle to get together for a weekend of fun and concerts. The performer was Clay Aiken. Amazing to see friendships develop over this medium called the internet. 10 years ago if you had told me I would be opening my home to strangers who met on a message board I would have called you a wackadoo. Now I call it my summer plans.

Good times. Hurry up Clay and release that new album and throw in a new tour in while you're at it.

It is now 6:36:51 PM Eastern Standard Time and my daughter has revamped my blog. She is so very talented and I appreciate her.

I spent yesterday recovering from the weekend antique show - ended up at the chiropracter (he is becoming my new best friend).

Today I cleaned up all the mess and started to get ready for the next show which is on July 16 - that should give me enough time to recover. Except I am expecting my nieces (aged 9 & 12). No rest for the wicked Great Aunt.

And now the real male of this house needs attention.

I am new to this blogging thing but I guess I can try anything once.
I spent the last week getting ready to do an antique a collectible show. And made $200.oo profit for a one day show. It is not the money (although that helps) it is my hobby and my way of staying connected to people since my husband's death. Now I have to get ready for the next show
