That deserves its own thread. I laughed and cried. Papua, New Guinea is my favorite.

Well, it was really yesterday afternoon but...RidgePlucker and I went for a ride in the woods. He stopped to check out a fishing spot and I picked wild strawberries while thunder rumbled over a faraway hill. It didn't take long before the thunder was very near and we continued on our journey.

    Feeding freshly picked wild strawberries to my honey made me very happy!!! :)

While tooling around on Youtube yesterday I found this, and it brought a real smile to my face. I don't know what it is exactly, but I think there's something very heartening about this

I just called Captain and Mrs. Morse and Kendall answered the phone. A voice - a bit raspy but a voice. Made me very happy.

Just got back from a wonderful weekend in not so sunny Scarborough and spent some quality time with my Grandma. Harry had a fantastic time with his Great Grandma and her littl dog. Grandma gave me lots of photos including a copy of her wedding photo from 1955 so we can do a photo family tree for the children so that names have faces.

Our new sofa has been delivered....well picked up!

The sun is shining and it's a good day.

Good one Liz!

We managed to pick up a brand new Portapotty for the trailer for $2 at a yard sale. If we'd bought it in a shop it would have cost close to $90. This was after getting a beautiful year old sofa bed at a yard sale yesterday for $50 - the sellers had changed the decor and this didn't match!

We went to the Colchester Oyster Fayre today and had a fantastic time walking round the market, watching sword fighting, archery and falconry. Got to catch up with lots of friends and had a lovely picnic by the duck pond. It was a tad muddy round the craft market but it didn't ruin the day.

You mean Jacqui has been lying to me about it? Even i can get one?

Spent the weekend running around and finally gardening, sort of. My neighbors took pity on me and helpd with raking up the soil, spreading this green fiberglass-like stuff with seeds in it and watering. Doesn't look like the picture on the box but...

Call from Micca last night - he is planning a formal dinner at my house in August. I love formal dinners as long as some one else cooks it especially in August.

my only concern - when Micca is through cooking, the litchen looks like a tornado hit. Small price to pay...

I was made happy today with a fabulous 2hour lunch with an extremely handsome (nay, gorgeous) gentleman, a bottle of MontePulciano and a steak that was actually cooked to perfection - rare to medium - rather than the usual medium to well done boot leather usually presented.

But mostly the company.

This actually happened yesterday but my spirit is still singing this morning.

Flying from Fairbanks to Anchorage in a gorgeously sunny day, the pilots went off course and flew us around Denali, the Great One (Mt. McKinley, 20,320 feet above sea level). It was awesome ("The black specks down there are climbers on the mountain"), blue and white and jagged and immense and almost eerily beautiful.

Later I heard an airline man tell someone that the pilot had said he planned to do this- and that it was the first time he had done it since 9/11.

Collected a dozen eggs from the chooks this evening and - most importantly - arranged with a fit young local lad to do the shearing in exchange for some home-brew and some tree-felling. I'm too old and stiff to shear bloody sheep!
