Tuesday, August 14th - and the heat continues

It's a muggy 19' this morning but feels much cooler compared to yesterday afternoon. It's heading for  27' later that will feel like 34'.

Yesterday the ladies toured Crowbush and Brudenell while I was at work. Lucky them! But in the end they chose Crowbush for our 2014 conference.Now the planning can begin.

Brenda popped into the showroom yesterday morning because she was in town running some errands. After she left a thought crossed my mind ( I know, it doesn't happen that often !!) so I called her and suggested that we could do coffee or tea, to which she replied, why don't we do lunch! Great idea. So at 1:30 we met over at Outriders and had something to eat.

Lina was being dropped off at 5:00 by the Moncton girls and after we all said goodbye, we headed out. We were going to go out for supper but neither of us was the least bit hungry so we stopped in to tell Lloyd that he was on his own for supper but he was okay with that. Lina and I headed downtown to pick up some lobster at the lobster store so she could take them home with her. Then we wandered over to Peakes Quay and had a humungous ice cream cone as we strolled around the shops. On the way home we stopped in to check out the Paderno sale just in case I missed something the previous three times I was there.  Then it was home.

However, on the way we stopped in to see Brenda and shared a glass of wine. Bernie and Will were just finishing their supper and they left soon after. We really didn't mean to scare them away.  Brenda had been painting all afternoon, in that heat so she was pretty much done in and didn't really mind a chance to sit for a bit.  Then when we finally left and pulled into our lane, there was Bernie and Ethan outside with Lloyd inspecting the newly dug hole in our yard. The follow finally showed up to do the work and I'm ever so happy. Now Lloyd can get busy on his garage. We just arrived and Bernie and Will left - sure hope it's not something we said to keep scaring them away!!

It had been a busy few days and everyone was tired so it didn't take long to unwind and all of us to be ready to call it a day.  A few days left to get ready for the next visitors. Brenda and I were talking about that yesterday. She's busy over the next few weeks as well, before they go to Holland so by the time we have a chance to get together to do anything it might be October! Where on earth has the summer gone? We were out kayaking once and maybe 3 or 4 times on our bikes.  That's just not right.  This working for a living is really getting in the way of our fun!

And on that note, Fran sent me this little bit of information. And these people are professionals who get paid to do these commentaries...


Here are the top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators so far during the Summer Olympics that they would like to take back:

 
1. Weightlifting commentator: This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing.
2.. Dressage commentator: This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother.
3. Gymnast: I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father.
4. Boxing Analyst: Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious.
5. Softball announcer: If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again.
6. Basketball analyst: He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces.
7. At the rowing medal ceremony: Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew.
8. Soccer commentator: Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got eleven Dicks on the field.
9. Tennis commentator: One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them... Oh my God, what have I just said?
