Yesterday the fog moved in, guess it will be with us all day today as well. Hope Tuesday is fine because that is Canada day with parades, celebrations,barb-b-ques and many other events,garden parties etc. Phyllis your big day will be on the 4th as usual, my brothers birthday is that day so he always says the Americans have a big party for his birthday-lol
I did get to the lake a few days but it still is not our typical swimming weather,either it is too cold or the water is too cold, this year will only have July and August left for swimming , perhaps first 2 weeks of sept if we are lucky. With gas so expensive there are only about 1/4 of the boaters in the harbour or on the lakes which is good for the ducks,loons and other birds.
I have been getting some painting done, when I was to one of the beaches the sea and sky were active with clouds and waves and i like the resulting painting.One can never really think they did a great painting because if they do they will never strive for better.
Ellie I hope your weather is good, I forgot if it gets quite cold where you live. Your country like ours is so vast that the weather varies from area to area.
Must scram and see what mischief I can get into today,

Hi Tina & Ellie,

Yes, we will be celebrating with local fireworks here in town for the 4th. My younger sister's birthday is also on July 4th, so we will have a birthday party for her. She is recovering from having her thyroid removed. It will be 3 weeks on Thursday since her surgery.

I am rescheduled for cataract surgery in the middle of July.
I had to postponed the original date because I came down with a cold and ended up having redness in my eyes. I had to put drops in every 2 hours. I have a follow up visit on Thursday to recheck the eyes. I planned to do this surgery while daughter is on maternity leave so she would not have to miss time from work once she goes back in August. She saved all her vacation time so she could have a longer leave.

Ashley (new baby) likes to be held a lot and is growing. She is one month old today. She has such a beautiful round face with large blue eyes. Kaitlyn is starting full time at preschool tomorrow. They had an opening and my daughter was first on the list so she decided to accept it. Child care is very expensive. I plan on watching Ashley 3 days a week and my high school friend, Susan will do 2 days. I will substitue for her when necessary.

I will keep you posted on my eye surgery.

Ellie, how is your weather? We have had many rainy days in a row, today it is nice, humid and sunny. I will not complain as it is nice to see the sun.

Michael is still working on some outside house projects, that need to be done.

Sending my best to both of you.

Phyllis
