Is your daughter all done with golf and softball?

We are still trying to do some school work. The joys of homeschooling.

My computer was down last night because youngest downloaded something that had a virus. It took all night to clean and scan!

Golf lessons are done but she has three more ball games. They played last night and tied.

Is Edmonton in your neck of the woods? Brenda from England is visiting there for 3 weeks with her family. She left this morning.

I've had my share of fun with viruses. Some of them can be hard to get rid of.

Hubby did the fixing, although he was not happy because he had other things he had to do. It was hard to get rid of and he had to do some tricky things to do it!

Edmonton is in Alberta, right next door to me. I think about an eight hour drive.

I'm the resident computer expert here, so I get to do all the fun stuff. I built the three computers we have.

Do you cross the border much to do shopping or anything else?

Into the US that is, not Alberta.

Do you need a passport yet? I heard that was going to be required to cross. It's been many years since I was in Canada.

Every now and then we do. We live right near the border but the closest place in the States for shopping is about 1 hour away.

In January people will need a passport to drive across. I need to get do that soon. My daughter has a friend who lives just across the border from us. She is homeschooled also and they come up here for Guides, baseball, swimming lessons, etc. because it's closer.

HI RENA, HI STELLA, taking a lunch break?

Hi MizT, not lunch here yet. I'm just avoiding school and housework.

Hi MizT, yes, taking a lunch break and was just about to get back to the laundry. What's up? How was your b'day celebration?

I can understand that Rena. I have been Missing you here, glad to catch you today.

What in USA is just across the border from you?

Birthday was nice, Hubby brought in lunch and a cake for us and some little pressies, cause he did not have my flower pots made yet! I think he is working on them today, cause he was very evasive when I asked what he was doing heheh.

Friends and shopping.

Happy Belated Birthday, MizT, sorry I missed it.

Do you realize that by the time we get to the end of this page we will have 9000 comments! Who would have thought we would have so many!

This is a popular place to be!

We sure do talk alot heheheh.

RENA, I am trying to place you geographically, wondered what state USA was just across the border, and maybe even what US city.

Well, It is time to get somethng done around here, lunch break is over. I will check in again soon. good to chat today.

OH, Stella, did you ever get Kilroy copied? i think it was you who wanted him wasn't it?

I am at the northeast corner of Washington. About 90 miles north of Spokane.

I need to get going. Time to get some work done. Bye for now.

Boy!! You guys can chat. I go away for a couple of days and you add an extra 60 pages.

Hi June! Not sure if you are still here. How was your trip?

We went to Melbourne for the weekend to see our Grandsons (5 and 20 months). They grow up so quickly so we try and see them about 4 times a year. We flew down as it is more economical than driving which takes about 10,to 11 hours non stop.

Sydney had a very wet weekend and for once we had better weather while 'down south'. Actually we have had a lot of rain yesterday and overnight so things are a bit damo underfoot which is very nice for a change. Will save watering the garden for quite awhile.

Sorry Stella, by the time I realised you were there and answered you were gone again.

June, if you had waited until this weekend, you could have joined in the bar tour or party! It must have been nice to see the little ones. My inlaws drove from North Carolina, about 18 hours, just for the graduation. They were only here for just over 24 hours before making the trip back. They do stop half way though.

I'm checking every now and then to see if anyone is around. This heat is making me very tired though. It's very early for you. You couldn't sleep?

I went to bed early so then I tend to wake up early and too early to want to do house work etc. Will have to finish making the 25 monks outfits for my daughter today (school Rock Eistedford). They are just about finished. The sewing machines are set up in the sun room and it does not have any heating so tooo cold to go out there just yet (and Dark )
I am sure your inlaws would have enjoyed being with you for the graduation.

You'll have to post a picture of the monk outfits when done. They sound cute but that's alot of work!!!!

I've made costumes over the years but never 25!! That would be too much for me. Angie makes costumes for her kids. The pictures I have seen seem very intricate. Are you all done with your outfit for the wedding?

My daughter who is an art teacher has made the crosses and cords with gold tassels to go around the waist. She is putting the elastic in the necks and attaching the hhods. I am just putting them together with the overlocker (surger i think you call them). It is still taking quite a while though.

I don't know how to sew properly, I just make it up as I go along. That's why the things I make are one of a kind. Even I couldn't duplicate it. Last year I made my daughter's prom dress because she couldn't find one and I made her costume for Beauty and the Beast, she was Belle.

I had to buy some tape for the waiste of my skirt, which I did the other day, and that will take about 15 minutes to finish that off today as well.
