weekly post from August 5, 2006

Hello friends & loved ones,

It's hard to believe that July is behind us and August is upon us. Pretty soon the kids will be back at school and the leaves will be starting to turn once again.

Jim and I spent a relaxing night at the Gananoque Inn in Canada and had an enjoyable boat tour of the 1000 islands today. It was a three hour tour and there was no one (that we know of) named Gilligan on the boat. It's such a pretty part of the world. There was one island that was probably about an acre that had a building on it. We couldn't tell if it was a house or not but were appalled that someone would build something on such a small space. That is indicative of our culture, however, if there's empty space we must build. We came home (having been warned beforehand by our pet nanny) to see a big pile of bear doodoo in our front yard. Thankfully the feeders were not knocked down this time.

Whatever you are doing this weekend, enjoy yourself and live fully.
