Just where has the summer gone..it is hard to believe we are into September and the days are getting so short … it is dark by 8 pm already…
Sorry I have been so slack about writing.. Jesse and I went to an agility trial on the long weekend.. in Kamloops..actually Heffley Creek, on the road to Todd Mountain… or Sun Peaks..everyone calls it Sun Peaks, but the mountain is still called Todd..and i used to live in the area, so it will always be Todd Mtn to me… We had a great weekend, my agility partner couldn’t make it that weekend, she had a wedding to go to, so she lent me the camper van, and Jesse and I went on our own… sure missed Denise.. but we had other friends there, so we had a good time..and Jesse finally got her finally starters game.. “snooker”… very much like the pool game… a red jump and then any other obstacle… we have had a hard time getting it, as Jesse is a little slow… but we made it this time..which is all i really wanted… Jesse is retired now… she is living with Daughter in laws mother, and i am not taking her to classes when someone else has her… i know it will be hard on her, and me too, but the last couple of months i only got her the day of the class for a couple of hours..Joe took her back to his in laws on Monday, L and i were out for cards and supper, which was good, or i would have cried when he took her…just writing about it makes me teary…. i have Levi now, and hopefully he will enjoy agility, and be good at it..he is fast and just needs to learn the commands…
Garden is slowing down… sure have a lot of cukes… long English, so going to do some more pickles… i have lots of jars of dills, none of them are full as there is just a few in each jar as they are growing slowly…I bought some garlic from the garlic guy in town… going to plant a bed … the hot Russian red, i use so much… and it is so much cheaper than buying on the internet… they ask $3.5 a bulb, and the local guy is asking $4 a pound… not as big, but it will do… they are having a Garlic festival on the 27th… i think we will go as they have the “hit and miss motors” that L enjoys… and they have some garlic mustard… and garlic powder which i don’t use much as i prefer the fresh stuff…Next day, Saturday the 12th … had to go to town to get some peppers for the pickles and turkey grower.. this will probably be the last sack of grain for them… they are getting big… and i don’t want them too big…hens should be okay, but toms will be too big soon… both Larry and I really enjoy them…wish we could hatch our own… think i might try and find some Bourbon Reds turkey… they will lay and hatch their own offspring.. and they are neat birds… we had a tom a long while ago.. and he would escort out anyone who drove into the yard… he would run in front of the car out to the front road… and walk back… and he was always under our feet, but that was before Jackson… who would eat him now…but maybe i can talk L into making a good pen for them…
We are off for supper tonight, it was my turn to cook, but Steve had to work today, so they won’t be here till about 6:30, so we are going up to their place, it will be much easier on them…just the 4 of us this weekend…others are busy…
Mom had a scare the other day… she passed a school bus with its lights on… said she couldn’t stop as she was going too fast… she is 83 now… and this is what i worry about… why was she going that fast, and she said it was at a 4 way stop… so why couldn’t she stop… oh well… guess my brother will have to deal with this..my sister in law is really good to her..I don’t usually see her drive as she likes me to drive when i am down there…
What a beautiful day today… had to put the swamp cooler on… getting too warm in the house..Larry is having a nap as we are usually up late playing cards… better go and pick Clara some carrots, she loves the baby carrots, and i don’t know how we will keep them this winter… got a bunch of beets to do too…well i had better sign off… have a great day….
