Her 'alfresco dining' means

Geez! Not again!
WHEEEEEE!!

I'm back from my walk/run (oh, the humidity--had to burn the clothes ...) only to find my birthday party has started without me! We've got ice cream and cake (and Viagra, for when the festivities begin to degenerate) ... I guess since I'm the hostess, I'll provide a case or two of Niagara reisling. Can we count on Greg to arrive fashionably late in gold lame?

everyone. I am happy to report that I did my best to introduce Fiona's kids to the American way of life last night. They swam in the pool with Ebony, & we had traditional backyard cookout type food. It wasn't as good as sticks over a campfire, but we did use barbecue skewers More...

Good afternoon to all! "Give me lot's of hair.... Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair. Flow it, show it. Long as God can grow it
It's my hair!"

Well, four correct responses to the 'quickie' riddle yesterday. Well done Jane, Kathy (Fl), Kathy (Md) and Plum for answering Pavlov. You all win a doggie treat, and Kathy (Fl), since I'm sure Ebony gave you the answer, you get two dog treats. Woof! Woof!

Cathy, I know it's your birthday, but I'm definitely NOT Liberace. However, if you have some beer as well, I'll see what I can find....

The only cow in a small Alberta (Canada) village stopped giving milk. The people did some research and found that they could buy a cow just across the provincial border in Saskatchewan for $200. They bought the cow from Saskatchewan and the cow was wonderful. It produced lots of milk all of the More...

Got just the thing for ya, Greg.

Damn! I wrote the words and then I just had to listen to the song again. For all you '60s folks, enjoy the Cowsills performimg "Hair."

Gosh Kathy, that was thoughtful of you, but that's just not my color!

CG: Loved the YouTube of the Cowsills! I was but a wee lass of course , but I remember my uncle taking my older sister to see "Hair" in LA back then!

It's really amazing what you can find on YouTube...

By golly, Greg, there IS beer, so rustle up your finest party outfit ... the suspense is killing me.
Three things that have made me smile recently--
1. Middle cat Spike carrying a mint he'd found in my open purse up the stairs and dropping it at my feet.
2. My birthday card More...

A funeral service is being held for a woman who has just passed away. At the end of the service, the pall bearers are carrying the casket out when they accidentally bump into a wall, jarring the casket. They hear a faint moan. They open the casket and find that the woman is actually alive! More...

Three things that made me smile today:
Watching the videos I took of my grandson's antics.
Reading about the antics of the sudokuists.
Clean clothes!!! (Just finished doing the laundry)

Well as you can see my avatar is another squirrel character to whom I relate!

Enjoyed your YouTube, CG. "Hair" was an extraordinary experience (or "happening" as we used to say). "Good Morning, Starshine" from "Hair", is Jaime's and my song!

Cathy - what a party! The Niagara Reisling ought to get the Viagra sizzling. (Ok, it doesn't exactly rhyme - unless you're Spanish. Think "S-ee-zling", señor!)

Off for a bike ride...after I fill my pockets with hankies. Still got the sniffles, but at least the sore throat is gone. Bye for now.

There has been over 1.800 wildfires in British Columbia so far this summer. My daughter Kelly remains safe in Kelowna as the fires there are mostly contained. The latest fire is at Whistler on the opposite side of where the 2110 Winter Olympic Village has been erected. So far, the Olympic sites are safe. I sure wish I could send all our rain out to the west coast.

It is not raining.

But it might.

I'll report back.

Three things to smile about in an otherwise very uneventful day (Good idea, André):
1. Not getting stuck having to buy coffee for everyone this morning.
2. Another great motoring day with the top down.
3. Watched a re-run of "All In The Family".

to all those horses out there!

Morning.

Greg - how would Cranbrook be faring?

Three things to smile about today
1. Got to sleep in this morning
2. Got a call from my 4 year old great neice, saying how much she missed us last week.
3. Didn't have to cook dinner tonight.

It's still not raining.

Good morning all.
Greg - thanks for the YouTube - once you posted some of the words, had to hear the rest of the song.
Still thinking of 3 things to smile about today - not easy when you're recovering from 'swine' flu - hey, I said recovering - I'd be stupid not to pick that as a reason to More...

Three things I smiled about today:
1. I took a guess at what width curtains I should buy while I was out shopping (forgot to measure)and I was right!! They fit!
2. Finally got a long overdue pedicure.
3. The Crape Myrtles are bursting with color!

1. The sun is shining and I'm not at work
2. I've read the paper and done all the puzzles and I'm still in my pyjamas at 11:30am
3. My dog - seeing his smiley face when he runs around the off-leash dog park with his doggy friends.

You take your dog to the dog park in you pajamas???

CynB, so sorry to hear of your and Colin's bout with the Swine flu, and, at the same time, so relieved to know you're on the road to recovery.

Thanks Keith - it's been nearly 2 weeks now and I should qualify that by saying 'probably swine flu' as the doctor put it because these days they are not testing for it anymore (Why? I don't know), but the doctor thinks by the symptoms it probably is. Whatever, it hasn't been fun for either of us.

Three things that have made me smile recently:
1. Seeing my two little grandsons, Charles & Emmett.
2. Being able to hike while on vacation in Northern Ontario (after 6 years off with an ankle injury).
3. Filling my new metal palette box with watercolour paints.

Three things that made me smile today in SoCal (while visiting my parents):
1- Got to take my son down to The Wedge (world famous body surfing spot in Orange County)
2- Showed my parents some of the 4,300 35mm slides I've scanned into the computer (but I still have over 4,000 slides to go...)
3- Got to eat a frozen banana dipped in Chocolate & sprinkles

WALK NAKED IN AMERICA DAY

Don't forget to mark your calendars. As you may already know, it is a sin for a Muslim male to see any woman other than his wife naked. He must commit suicide if he does. So next Saturday at 4 PM Eastern Time, all American women are asked to walk out of More...

Feel better soon, Cyn
Even in her weakened condition, Cyn was able to figure out today's puzzle
Evidently Greg does not spend ALL his time slipping into gold lamé or a pink More...
