Welcome to the Lake

Acrylic, 24 by 36

JUNE 24/09 8:45AM  by the time we get home, hopefully the bugs will have eaten everyone in the valley and leave us alone. Tomorrow we head to Banff and Jasper before heading East.
Yesterday, I watered the gardens and planted a potted plant in the back garden, yeh, without the pot. lol
I did laundry and packed some things in the Class B. We went to Superstore in the afternoon and got some supplies for our trip.
Last night Mikie bqd delicious burgers to go along with the lemon pie from superstore. 
We went to dog class, it was very dusty in the barn last night. I held a kleenx to my nose hoping to keep some dust out of lungs. Juno loves to do the course. A little beagle was on the scene last night, I always thought these dogs were rather stupid and only chased rabbits. lol..but the beagle did the course and did it well. So cute. I miss having a dog. I will visit Amandas doggie grooming and daycare when I get lonely for a dog.
After class we went geocaching over at Hidden Hanson Ranch park, yes the ranch is hidden as it is no longer there but there is park with ponds and a large creek, lots of ducks, red winged blackbirds and it was a nice outing in the sunshine. The park now is surrounded by the ring road and of course, large beautiful homes. We had a hard time finding our way into the park..most roads were dead ends with no place to park. Finally found a place to park and walked from there. Mr. GeoCachers said a coyote stood on the hill where we had just been. We met some other geocachers...they found the cache but it wasnt the geocache Mr. Man was looking for.. and that geoache was across the ring road, now not in use, and up the side of the hill ..Mike and Bill ventured out to this one...We had to crawl under the guard rails..or go over the top and ouch..too high for me. The men found the geocache. We got home arund 9:30pm..Mr. Man said it still wasnt the geocache he was looking for!!!!!!!! Planes roared overhead as the park is inline with the flight path.  So we may go looking for it today and pick up some kitty litter of which we forgot yesterday. Tonight we are going to Amcihiis for the 2 for one special.
It is a lovely day here in Calgary.
I havent used my new notebook yet as Bill's hand is always attached to it. lol
I feel the urge to paint..humm...which wall needs a mural now?? lol none of them..if I want to live. lol

June 23/09 8:55am here, lunch time for you guys back home. lol
It is shaping up to be a nice day here..warmer than yesterday.
Did you watch the Batchorlette...humm..I am going to miss the next 2 programs unless someone tapes it for me.  Somebody please tape it.
Mr.HatesToPaint is finished painting..they are going to paint the bathroom on the main level and their monster, make that master monsterous sized bedroom .Dolly moved the appliances to the  garage last night with the help of Mike and Bill. They have a jug water cooler with a tiny bar fridge under it and it is in the kitchen...a great place to keep milk and cat food so I dont have to keep running to the garage for them. New appliances arrive? flooring starts new week. Whew,
just getting out of here on time. lol  No place to sleep and nothing to eat. lol
Actually Mike bqd a delicious prk loin roast last night. Tonight is dog class; for Juneo not us. lol Mr. Geocacher wants to plant his travel bug in a cache near here..so we will do that tonight. Mr.Sleepsin is doing that; the Class B gets an oil change today; I need to do laundry, etc and get ready to take off , buy some kids socks, my feet are small with a high arch and my feet and toes are prettier than Jillians!!!!!!!!!!!  I wonder what Tanner would think of that. lol
I think it would be great to have a man who had a foot fetish......to have your feet massaged all the time.
I must feed Frankie....he was chewing his dried food during the night and his bowl is empty. 
 
 

June 22/09 MOnday 3:29pm How am I supposed to cook supper with the electric stove moved into the middle of the kitchen floor..unplugged of course.
I find it freezing today. I have my flannel lined wind pants on, a teeshirt, a shirt, a sweater and a fuzzy jacket. Juneo lays on my feet..thats nice. And 2 pairs of socks, not mine, Bills. lol
The man is painting the kitchen..he may be doing the second coat. I would like to know how I am going to motive him to paint our walls at home. He hates painting. I changed the color of the hoodoos...finally  I got the color right and they look like they belong in the scene..tis perfect. I put a couple of strokes on the little church...so it is architecturaly correct. That's it for the mural.
Franks is fat, we are all fat.
Juneo will do her walk the walk stairs for me outside. She thinks I am nuts, I forget an call her Lady. Buddy is coming next week to start the flooring. This is a big job when it is happening in all rooms and on all levels, except the family room..which was finished last year.
Humm..are you watching the batchorlette?...I think Ed will return later in the series with his dried up old rose. lol
I am so tired..I think I will have a cup of tea and forget about supper making. the BQ may do supper. lol
