A long journey of life....


Hey Folks, sorry that i have been absent. Our computer crashed for a few days after a fierce storm came through our wee town.

Anyway....lots has happened since you last heard from us. It has been way WAY too hot. That is what happened. haha. Besides finally having to run the AC for longer than i feel is right, we have been enjoying what we can of the blistering weather. water. WATER. water. Isn't that the best thing to have around in the heat?? Thank you God for making pools, water parks, hoses, and such.

I believe water kept us alive in the sweating days we have just passed through. POOR POOR dave doesn't have AC in his work van, so the man has been working in heavy dark work clothes, in the heat of a van, that is hotter than nature itself. scarey. He drinks like.....four litres of water a day now!!!!!!!!!!!! (and all he has to show for it are very heavy clothes from all the sweat!)

Anyway....this humidity and sun and occassional rain (our lifesaver today, rainstorms!!!) have been producing glorious fruits and buds around the area.

i have provided you with some of our favorites: "Matoes" and "E-k-in-asia". Yes, Julia knows all her flowers and plants. haha. The ones in our garden and neighborhood at least. "Mommy that's a maple tree".

Um, dad, here is a pic of the triplex that you have been asking for for weeks. sorry it took so so long.

love from sue

Hey, that's a very neat-looking house. I like the little window up on top. Is that a tiny suite up there? Great veranda. Very nice flowers and fruit (tomatoes). Heat sure makes things grow. Stay cool and have a wonderful weekend of camping.

Glad you are surviving the heat. Hey, when did Julia become a girl? She has lost her baby look. Looks very grown up in her little bathing suit.
Nice pic's as usual.

haha. i know, julia totally did have a big girl look...and sometimes, when she is on the phone with someone...she leans against the wall and crosses her feet....man, what a big girl she is now.

anyway...dad, dave doesn't know if that window is part of the upstairs apt. but i think it most like ly is. In Karli's home there is an attic space with a wee window just like this one.

the heat is gone, yippppeee!!

Thank goodness for the rain. We totaly understand you here!
The triplex looks good Sue. It is nice to see. So many houses in your area look great.
I hope your feeling well. Maybe Tic and I will bus down to visit you soon. Sure miss sitting for tea with you.

Hey Su,
love the triplex..Ontario houses have SO much more character than our West coast cookie cutter ones. And the garden, love it! How fun to be able to grow things!!
Ditto that Julia looks all grown up, she's grown, like a foot? since I was there? Wow. Beautiful girl.
Glad you're back, I missed your updates (:

Sue,

Do you two own that triplex? Don't melt, stay in the pool! that's my new catch phrase. Love the tomatoes. If i were in your area i would probably come by at night and steal one, because maybe one night i might feel like stealing. I really am not that kind of person, but you know how heat makes you crazy.. mwahhh ha ha. Or i would just ask to enjoy one with you, and i bet you would say "YES". Keep on growing... all of you, the plants, the baby, the husband, the wife, and little girl, the grass, the flowers, the birds, the clouds that will bring you rain!
Happy camping.
Janie
