ME AT THE VENITIAN HOTEL HAVING SUPPER BY THE CANALS. IT WAS SO....NEAT TO BE SITTING INSIDE WITH A REAL LOOKING SKY ABOVE, SURROUNDED BY REPLICAS OF VENICE'S BUILDINGDS AND WATCHING THE GONDOLAS GO BY. THE GONDOLIERS EVEN SANG ITALIAN SONGS. TRES ROMANTIC!! WE SAW THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA HERE.
WELL, I HAVE RECOVERED FROM THE TRIP AND WHATEVER VIRUS HIT ME WHEN I CAME HOME. I AM NOW RESTED AND RARING TO GO...AGAIN!!! MY MUM AND I ARE PLANNING A TRIP IN SEPT OR OCT TO MY SISTER'S IN WINDSOR ONTARIO. WE WENT LAST YEAR AS WELL AT THIS THIS TIME. WE DROVE THEN AND WE WILL DRIVE IT AGAIN. BUT THIS TIME WE ARE GOING FOR A LONGER PERIOD AS I FOUND IT TOO....MUCH TO DRIVE 15 HOURS A DAY FOR TWO DAYS UP AND THEN BACK AND ONLY SPEND 5 DAYS THERE. YIPEE...SHOPPING IN GREAT LAKES CROSSING AGAIN!!
I SPENT ALL AFTERNOON WITH MY FRIEND, NATALIE. FOR TWO AND A HALF HOURS I CLIPPED HER GOLDEN RETRIEVER, ZELDA. ZELDA SUFFERS FROM A BAD HIP AND SPRAINED LEG. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO HAVE A GROOMER DO HER AS YOU NEED TO LET HER REST EVERY 15 OR 20 MINUTES. I HAVE THE PROPER CLIPPERS AND TOOLS AS I GROOM MY DOGS IN BETWEEN THERE PROFESSIONAL GROOMING. SHE LOOKED PRETTY GOOD WHEN SHE WAS DONE. SHE FINDS HER HEAVY COAT WAY TOO HOT AND LOVE TO BE CLIPPERED DOWN. ALSO THEY TAKE HER SWIMMING EVERY DAY AND SHE WILL DRY MUCH FASTER.
WELL, THE HUMIDITY HAS FINALLY....BROKEN. TODAY WAS GORGEOUS AT 24*C AND ONLY 40% HUMIDITY AND A NICE BREEZE TO KEEP THOSE @#$%$ MOSQUITOS AWAY.
I AM STARTING TO GET THE BLUES AS MY HONEY WILL BE HEADING OUT IN JUST A LITTLE OVER A WEEK FOR THE GREAT SATATE OF MAINE. HE RUNS A BLUEBERRY HARVESTING CREW UP THERE IN THE BARRENS. AND IT IS APPROPRIATELY NAMED!!! HE WILL BE GONE A MINIMUM OF THREE WEEKS. I AM FINE THE FIRST WEEK BUT THEN IT IS A DOWNWARD SLIDE AFTER THAT. MY GIRLFRIEND IS ALREADY MAKING PLANS TO KEEP ME OCCUPIED.
WELL, IT IS PAST MY BEDTIME SO I WILL SAY GOD BLESS AND GOOD NIGHT.

i am happy you had a good trip. i have been there at that hotel also and enjoyed the same things you talk about just beautiful... sorry you got sick when you got home......i remember your husband does that blueberry thing every yr..its good your girlfriend is making plans for you to keep you busy.. hugs ..marie
Sure looks like you had a good time, that is awesome. Those kind of trips are fantasies for winter. Ot Oh I said the bad word.
I just got Ruby a big hair cut. I do her most of the time but I want her to look like a lab. Wow does she look weird. Like a lab with a big head. She really likes it, way less panting.
Our weather has been good. We have not had to water much.
You are right that is way to much driving for just 5 days. I am not happy when I have to sit still that long.
We just picked bluberries last week, 10lbs, they are already frozen except for the blueberry pancakes and blueberry tarts.
Take advantage of the down time ane relax, absense makes the heart fonder or is that hornyer, is that a word too? Love and Hugs Naomi xo
I am so blown away by your surroundings, so realistic. Michael will be gone and back before you know it! xo
