Well, the friends from Saskatchewan have gone and we're missing them already. We had a wonderful less than 48 hour visit and hope the next time we see them it's not measured in years but rather months. They certainly arrived in style as they pulled up in a white Mercedes Benz. Apparently a Chev Impala had been reserved at the airport by the wife but she picked up the luggage and he the car so.... The weather wasn't particularly nice, it just continued on as it has this entire month of May. And to think they left warm sunny weather out west. Sigh.

We had a great feed of stuffed lobsters the first evening and lots of catching up on the news so a late bedtime. Fortunately they had their wits about them and barricaded themselves in the spare room at night and so were able to get some sleep - you know how that goes when cats want to see what's inside a closed door eh? They made the rounds to visit during the day and the next evening we were invited to supper at mutual friends which was very much like the 'old days'. A great time was had by all. As they sorted themselves out to leave I showed them this photo of Gary who was attempting to accompany them or at least try their luggage on for size. They made their way to the city to overnight before heading westward ho today and will continue with some vacation time. Ahhh.

I took in a 'purse party' last night at one of the neighbours but.....buying my handbags at Frenchy's does not make me want to spend $75 on one purse! I did however pick up a cute watch ring that will do nicely for vacationing. I found one in sapphire, my birthstone, and with the expansion bracelet style it will fit even in warmer climes. Apparently contestants were wearing these on American Idol but that wasn't what sold it to me, it was the cute factor and.....the price. Of course this was supporting Asian sweatshops but sometimes you just have to suspend those rules.
So now I am heading back to work for three LNs over this holiday weekend and of course sunshine is predicted for sleeping Sunday. Nothing left to do but dream/plan for vacations. So in that spirit I offer the following links:
