Heading home

Well I left WH friday noon and spent the night in Atlanta ... saturday I flew to Edmonton... on Delta... I got to the check in .. since I was flying internationally I was entitled to 2 free bags I had one... it weighed 51 pounds.. the Delta rep gave me a choice... are you going to loose a pound or PAY $150!!!! I had a book stuck in the front pocket of my suitcase which actually weighed 1 pound 6 oz so I removed the book and added it to my carry on... But $150 for being one pound over weight... (Canadian airlines let you have two free cases on all flights!!!!)

Edmonton is where I grew up but it certainly is not the direct route back to my little Island! Sunday Mother's day we all went out for brunch... then I helped my siter pull weeds and repile siding... gorgeous day! Yesterday was also a gorgeous day tomorrow it is suppose to snow here... goody goody!

Yesterday we went plant shopping, not much got planted though since it is suppose to freeze tonight ... Dad bought a bag of set onions and has a bunch left over I said I'd take some of them home.. he says I have to take them as carry on.. I figure security will confiscate them.... Let me know if you think I will get to keep them on my comments! Actually they may not even show up in the xray....

Thursday I'm suppose to fly to Toronto were G will meet me then we will head for home on Sunday... No pictures until I get home... this is a Mac and I'm Mac illiterate... I can figure out how to type on this computer and not much more!

A Blog Award for Us

Well, I was reading my favorite goat's blog (I should clarify that.. Priscilla is the only goat I know that blogs.. she however is not the only goat that I know... but they gave away/sold Nora who was/is my favorite goat..., but as far as I know Nora doesn't have her own blog!) and I found out that I have been given a blog award.

This award is called the Kreativ Blogger Award and it, of course, comes with rules. I need to list 7 things I love and I need to pass it on to 7 people. I have The Maaaaa of Pricilla to thank for this honor (I'm thinking her publicist had a lot to do with my being picked!) . So here goes:

7 Things I like:

1. Sun... I follow it around the house during the winter! (that is if it isn't snowing....)

2. Reading (I prefer whodunnits... I don't like it when I figure out who the evil person is 1/3 of the way into the book!)

3. Shoes (However I prefer not to wear them as I might get them dirty!)
4. Coffee... ( I drink it by the potfull )
5. Jewelry (I had to learn how to make it as I was spending to much buying it!)

6. Hot springs... however bath tubs and hot tubs suffice as a substitute!

7. The sound of a cat purring

Now 7 people to pass this on too

1 Broken Teepee
2. Storey Beader
3 & 4. 2 sisters for Art (this blog has 2 authors so it counts as two people, even if I only know one of them!)
5. Glassbead
6. Jill's Beads
7. Glass Addictions

Ground Hog day

Well when I got up it was cloudy... but the sun shone for a few minutes right around 10 am ... so since I'm not sure what time our local ground hog sticks his head out of the ground I don't know if we have another 6 weeks of winter or not! (actually I don't even know if we have ground hogs here or not!) I did find this little guy wandering around though! You have to click on his den to get him to come out!

Will he see his shadow?

.... I think it will take at least 6 weeks to melt all the ice & snow that we've got this winter!

And a bead showing where I would
like to be ... think that there
is room to stick my beach towel
on the sand beside that palm tree?
Wonder how hard it would be to find someone to deliver me a Pina Colada once I figure out how to get my towel onto
Paradise Beach?
