Well we are here in Canada, Peterborough to be precise. Heading over to Ottawa tomorrow to visit with CET and Charmion. Should be there early afternoon before two unless we get lost!

beardedbruce, the line about keeping someone's hand for a souvenir makes me remember a line from a song someone sang at the dining hall jam the last night about 'she picked up her lover's dying head'. Loved it- hope I got it on tape!

Then I had better hurry and call ahead to the Border Crossing folks and let them know that they are not to let Maddie out of the country. She is to be returned to my abode immediately. We are not done spoiling her yet.

All the best,

Mick

Ducklings are just back from fetching water from the spring.
WYSIWYG has been teaching them to scream when going round corners, so we could be in for fun?
Quack!

Maddie, many of us miss our hugs from Mick and Col...but they are good boys who keep coming back for more. Jack on the other hand is a creature of questionable parentage and I think you'd better be careful of his influence.

I have fallen completely in love with Maddie, and have agreed with Col K that he can spoil her in UK but she is mine to spoil in the States. What he doesn't know is that I intend to hijack her and keep her here.

What a wonderful family!! I enjoyed them more than I can say. I hope we all meet again soon.

All the best,

Mick

PS to Lil-- that cleaning product you mentioned the other day? Any chance of you bringing same? Can reimburse, thanks to Hardi funding the dogfood this week in favor of MudBudget. Doesn't look like I'll be venturing out today.

Mmario, you still a latish arrival? Bring fruit to add for brekkie?

Lil, how about a salad instead of fruit? Have dressing and grape tomaters, need mixed greens (no iceberg in the mix please).

That chixbix is mighty motivatin'-- I have washing up to do this AM and the onions/garlic are just starting to arome! Don't mind the washing this time somehow.

Did I mention the bix will be beer bread muffins? No? Oh, I'm sorreeeee....... had to do something with the O'Douls before Catters arrive!

Pre-Getaway arrivals-- Your chix and bix in the crockpot. Hm, I really should soak some smoky chipotle peppers for a condiment (on the side).... There's a Mexican dish that calls for either chipotles or chipotles plus cheese... Hmmm....... been gloomy waether here for more than a week, and I think I'd rather cook than clean any further!
