This afternoon has felt so very much like a Sunday! We took Abigail to her party at 1pm and then went into town....Lloyd went to Home Depot while Susie and I ran to Homesense. I wanted a jar for my granola...an old fashioned candy jar - hopefully with a scoop! But I couldn't find one....so I bought a table instead! It's a small round table...just big enough for Dorothy (my Orchid) to sit on in the window. I hate that houses here don't have proper window sills...kitchens seem to be the only rooms with windowsills over here.
After that we ran to Sobeys for a few things and then we headed home. Laurie has decided to sleep over at his friends house again tonight so we didn't have to pick him up. After stopping at home briefly, I drove over to get Abigail from her party - it was in Callingwood Cove a little lakeside village that has only one road leading to it. There is no store or anything!
Abigails friends home........it left a huge effect on me. I'm not going into that here but I can't believe the effect it had on me. I talked about it a lot with Lloyd over supper....sometimes the oddest things effect me.
Abigail and I then drove to get Chris from his sleepover party. He looked very tired and came home and fell straight asleep!
While he slept, Lloyd lit a fire and the rest of us sat outside by the fire pit...the children cooked hotdogs on the fire while Lloyd and I wrapped potatoes in tinfoil and threw them in the ashes again :)
We could see dark clouds all round us but we STILL have not had rain...they said it rained in Edmonton quite hard and although we have heard the thunder, we still have no rain...we NEED rain.....
It was lovely sat by the fire...the wind picked up as the storms were close, just not above us and that warm storm breeze is just wonderful :)
I sat there all relaxed and feeling lazy and happy by the fire and it just felt like it should be Sunday.....our day has been so much like a typical summer Sunday.....not a Saturday.
Tomorrow no doubt I will have two tired grumpy boys......we have to run into town to get Laurie.......I want to run again....tonight I went on the trampoline twice...I love it :) It's a good workout!!
I think we may watch Freedom Writers tonight.....McDreamy is in it! It looks like a good movie......
Goodnight everyone :)
