Where are we today ?

    Wow I actually slept until 7 am today, maybe because we were outside last night until after 10pm enjoying this wonderful summer weather, chatting and enjoying our e-readers, and no bugs here. Gotta love this time of year.
     After coffees I wanted a walkabout before 8 am it was almost nice, very warm. But the skies opened up and changed that plan quickly, so after a very short walk I just puttered around thinking about where to head out this fall. With so many options its hard to decide, More discussing and thoughts needs to be done, but no rush we have lotsa time. mostly want to be in a warmer place than here in the winter.
       After a tasty light lunch a quick trip to Forest, for a few things and picked up some cooked chicken wings at the Foodland for supper tonight. We do love chicken wings and its been while, ( we try to do moderation) a good deal 20 wings for $9.99 should be enough to satisfy our ( my craving). Cheaper than going out and even cooking them myself as well.
       Not much else going on here, did get a couple of short walkabouts, chat with a neighbour and just relaxing enjoying our e-readers in the shade. A very light breeze temps got to 90 F with the humidex 97F. Feels pretty nice. Was gonna wax our coach but think I will wait a bit for slightly cooler weather. The beauty of retirement we can do what we want when it suits us.
so this was a great afternoon, just doing this
            Soon time for supper, gonna reheat the wings on our Weber Q Grill mat, fire up our Fry Daddy for some french fries. celery and carrots with a ranch dip, ( for Suzie) my favourite is Blue cheese but don't need this in our fridge for an occasional meal.
this large box of 20 wings for only $9.99
fries in the Fry Daddy 
wings nice and hot and crispy
yup we had a feast, and a few left over wings
     Now supper and dishes done, 6:30pm time to head down for our Thursday night fun darts. Always good for a few laughs and challenge with the the people who show up.
     Tonight 12 people so we had 4 teams of 3 and we all had too much fun, We did not win anything tonight, thats probably cause Suzie and I were on the same team. No matter was still a good time. Home by 9:15and enjoyed sitting outside for another hour, just cause we could still enjoy this wonderful summer weather.
then Suzie got another doggie fix , when Maya dragged Walt this
way on his walkabout
      Now I just have to brag about our 1st Grandson. who just graduated from public school (grade 8). He is our oldest grandchild and is growing into an amazing young man. Wow! they grow up so fast. Now to begin a new chapter in his life. We wish him all the best and just know that he will make some good choices in what lies ahead. Congratulations !
he was just a baby a little while ago.
where does the time go?
 now a young man !
       Thanks for taking the time to stop by and hope that you are enjoying some wonderful summer weather wherever you are.

Where have we been this summer ?

  8. Used to be that there was only one graduation and that was when you finished grade 12. Now they even have kindergarten graduations. Amazing.

    How about that trip West across Canada that you had to postpone?

    1. Tew hope to do the Canada trip someday soon. We still have to wait and see how Suzie's Dad does in the near future. not this year and probably not next year. Want to do it before we can't.
