Bits of August.....

 Hello Everyone...

Can hardly believe that August has arrived...

had some good rains finally...and cooler temps this week...but heating up again today!!!

I see that a few are having problems with the new "Blogger" platform...

This is a "test" run...so to speak...

I am also hearing bout emails that bloggers have received from Google...

I have not received any such email...and would probably SPAM it if I did...

I did have to fiddle with my pics to get them centered properly, and as large as I like them...

Why oh why do they mess with thigns that have been working for YEARS!!! 

We did get down to the cottage for a visit...hopefully more visits starting soon...

Sooooo...

Hopefully when I hit publish...all will be well...enjoy the pics!!!

      See you soon...

It's Been A Long Time......✨

Rose Of Sharon is blooming...

 

Ontario Strawberries were delish...
 

My beautiful granddaughter Miss V turned 8 years old...💛💙💜💚❤️

 

Phlox bloomed and went...
 

Swimming....of course!!

Cottage drive under cloudy skies...
 

Finally had a sleepover at the end of June...
Have not been back since June 26th...:o(...health issues...
 

Back home...by the pool...
 

My beautiful grandchildren...what would we do without them???

 

My wonderful Son-in-law celebrated a milestone in June...
had this sign made for him...my boyfriend got one on his 50th...and we thought such a unique gift...we had it copied and framed...
Jeff and my beautiful daughter Lissa...on his birthday...💙

 

Soooo...not much to say...I will let the pictures speak for themselves...

It has certainly been trying times for everyone...and I hope we can see the end soon...but I am being very optimistic...

Hope you are all well...and enjoying (somewhat) this very hot Summer we are having...

Boyfriend and I hope to get down to the cottage by August 1...

Cant believe the Summer is almost over....:o(


              Until next time...

                     See you soon...

A Few Good Things That Happened In May....💙

Hello everyone...

Another month has come and gone...
At least this one had some lovely moments for us...
My Grandson was 1 year old...🎉🎈🎉
Boyfriend and I visited ...socially distancing in their back yard...
he looked as cute as a button...💙...that hat!!! A real Peaky Blinders!!!

His Mom got him a "cupcake" cake...it was delish!!
I took Miss V some sidewalk chalk, and she got busy right away...

I had brought some beach glass from the cottage awhile ago, as I wanted to try my hand at making cards...
I have made 5 so far...and I am quite thrilled...they need a shadow box frame for display...perhaps in the near future, I can get some...
I also got 2 birds crocheted...
The Blue one for Miss V...and the yellow one for Miss N ...fiddly, but worth the work...
I made my grandson a blanket {what else is new} for his birthday...
And a cute card...
The crocheted dishcloths were for my daughter for Mothers Day...
I am nearly finished another blanket...which I will show you soon... 

I put out some oranges here at home...first time...as I was missing the Orioles down at the cottage... I was so happy when a few arrived!!!
Only for 3-4 days...but a welcome distraction...🍊

The cottage is coming along slowly...
Last Saturday...my son...SIL and one of my daughters came out... 
it was a miracle!!! they got everything done...👏💪🙏

I have pictures to share...but it will have to wait for another post... 

I still won't be staying over, as I am more comfy here at home...for the time being...

This world is certainly in bad shape these past few months...
And now the riots and looting in the US... 
I understand and sympathize...but this is too much...
I just wish they would go home...I am scared of another wave of COvid 19 for their country....😢

I hope all of my readers are well...safe...and at home for the most part...
We...here in Ontario Canada...must wait til the end of June, to see if we are able to meet in groups of more than 5...Its gonna be a long wait...
Hopefully for Canada Day...my family can come to the cottage for the day...
Social Distance...but get to have a few laughs...and make memories... 

           Because we can sure use some good memories of 2020....



          Take care...

               see you soon...
