DEc 16/09 7:30am, I think! lol the clock loses time..the other one I cant see...!lol YESTERDAY
was ANOTHER HOTTIE! I love it. It was a great pool day.
Don and Bunny arrvd at 4pm..she has a cold and looks white as a ghost, most do when they arrive from the
north.
My cooking was excellent as Mikie would say! lol
Today Bahars come to hook up my stove and to check out all the propane lines...etc...we will get a propane
fire alarm as well.
We have neighbors next door inthe camping lot..they are here for a week, they are from Michigan. Jerry told
Bill that between his wife and himself they lost 500 lbs. That's amazing! He is a skinny little man now, she is still
a bit chunky. They have a cat, Bandit; Frankie is 3 times bigger than Bandit. Bandit must be on their diet. lol
Mr. ProjectMan put new screening in the front door.....so nice to have the window up to let the air
flow thru. So nice to get out of bed in the morning and walk on a new floor.HUMM...HAVENT hemmed the curtains yet. I think
I will invest in those quieting drapes for the bedroom. The morning traffic does wake me up at times..that is, when it is
going to rain. lol Maybe if I get the quieting drapes it wont rain. They have different words for weather here..they
call it, stray clouds or stray showers. lol The fire dept moved to its new station and location so we dont hear them all the
time.
The sun is up and it is a pretty day. Coffee hour this morning at 9:30. I want to go to Michaels for some
acrylic paints. Get a squash and turnip, may have to go to Maine for them. lol Next year I will stop in Maine and buy turnips
and squash. The turnips here are waxed like a dummy...and very tiny, need at least 2 of them to make 1 of ours.I AM GOING
TO put upthe other fibre opt xmas tree. Mr. ProjectToolMan is going to start working in the Florida room in the new year..what
about the bathroom???????????????
Franks is sputtering. A stray cat..maybe not stray is making the rounds. I understand Bill and Diane left
yesterday.
Time to sit outside for a while and take in the scenery. I love looking at Richards orange tree. Dont know
when Richard and his new wife are arrving, I guess both Bunny and me have lost our boyfriend. lol Phyllis brought
me some tangerines and oranges from a local orchard, a friend of a friend who owns the orchard...talk about good! not the
friends, the tangerines.
House sitters I am sending you a box of oranges.
Dec 14/09 11:51pm a lovely evening, it was a hottie...85f shade..real hot in the sun but oh so nice lazing
around in the pool... I took my boogie board..but I didnt do much with it..LOL
i should just learn to swim.
We went to the rec centre for the spagetti supper.........twas very good, garlic toast, pudding and cookies
and coffee, tea or juice.......my waist line shrank and now it is expanding. lol
I ate some sugar ants today........I put out
a little bowl of pecans and choc. coated raisins for Chas. and Bill to eat..they ate some, I came
home frm the pool and had a handfull and then I noticed these very very, almost too small to see ants..I think they are called
sugar ants....lol
I lived.
I met a new woman today from Dartmouth.Marg.White , I didnt meet her husband......she said her son and daughter
in law live in KIngston, Richard and her daughter in law is the Mgr of Sobeys in Kingston.............
There was a place for rent across from us and when I came back frm exercises to get the particulars
which were scotch taped to the front door, the sign was down.........people are grabbing up rentals and mobiles.
Mr. Man finished his tiling job. It looks good .
It was a good laundry day and the clothes dried very quickly..there was a breeze...took out all the wrinkles.
wish that would happen to my face.
P and G came over this evening......we gabbed for quite a while. I talked to Bunny, they leave for
the airport at 6am.. they fly to Tornoto first before heading south.
It is supposed to be another hottie tomorrow...I sweat buckets...it is good to get the toxins out. lol
The Man and the Cat are snoring.........!
I must go to bed.
Dec 13, o9 6:13pm I just got thru watchin g the sunset of orange, pink and red..very pretty and a pretty
day as well..85F ish in the shade...twas ahottie in the sun, I think my clothes dried as I was hanging them on the line..nice
breeze most of the day.Mr. Man tiled the rest of the kitchen floor......hummm..dont know if it will stick or rise up by the
time next winter rolls around. lol
I WENT TO THE pool at 3 and it was so nice..water temp 72f but it seemed so warm..maybe because it was so
hot in the sun...I lazed around in the pool for about a 1/2 hour and then had a hot shower and washed my hair and with
my new pro mini flat iron..I ironed my hair.
it looks good, my hair ,not the flat iron.
The next 3 days are supposed to be hotties...with sunshine..
LOVELY last night as well. we sat on P and G patio during the evening. G has ripped up the carpet in the
florida room...........it was well glued down what a mess..he will put down board before he tiles it.
The first music night is tonight. I AM GOING I dont know if Mr. Fooftball will be going..it seems that is
all there is on TV ;football and gossip about Tiger Woods I dont know which one is the worse.
The man Gordon on 171 sold his mobile.
mr. Man re tiled the Florida room floor ..he didnt like the way I did it, hit or miss......lol I used
the old tile from the kitchen...lol at least they are clean and better on the feet than the concrete.
Well, D and B you have 2 more sleeps before you arrive. Looking forward to see yous guys!
The harder I go at it..the worse it gets...I am using fabric markers on a tee shirt..writing the word eh...lol..I
wrote it on 3 times, one under neath the other..sort of messy in places...so the letters get bigger. I doubt that Ken will
care..he was disappointed I didnt bring him a eh tee shirt from Canada..but I never seen one..he will like this one. lol
Oakioe doakie must get ready for the musci.

Laura called me over to see her tree...she got a fibre opt one before I could give her the one I GOT FOR THEM....I will probably

I got a set of led mini icicle colored lights last nigth as well as a cuddley, the heated 6 foot long
sheep skin massager pad ; it goes on my side of the bed as hottuff doesnt need heat. lol
I should hem the bedroom drapes today..but may not. Mr. Man has a job for me..to handpick all the white
rocks..the size of golf balls out of the garden along side of the mobile which is 30 feet long...isnt that like jail time.
