Hey there, friends it’s been a while! Lots going on in my busy little life!
As you know I am a television addict. I should have prolly called this blog the confessions of a TV addict, however it is what it is. So the reason I bring this up is that I have recently started watching Animal Planet Canada again, and am so pleasantly surprised with the shows.
First I have discovered Orangutan Island it is about a number of orphaned Orangs who are brought up in a sanctuary as babies and then placed onto an island to start forming bonds with other older Orangs. I love it. The expressions and touching the love then gentleness of these beings makes it hard for me to understand how anyone could want to see them anywhere other than in their loving groups and their natural habitats.
Now on Friday nights there is a new spot, 10pm which they fill with a different show ever couple of weeks. Right now they are running Pitbulls and Parolees! It is a beautiful story of a rescue facility that take in mostly Pitties and employees Parolees. The owner believes if she can give dogs a second chance well then she have to give one to the people in her world too!
Also on Friday night is The Last American Cowboy. Which follows three families in the Montana span who are running honest to goodness cattle ranches. One still patrols his on horseback the other has so much land he has to patrol it in a helicopter. However they all fear the worst. Losing calves. Did you know that when a Cow is calving they have to use a pulley to get the baby out. Kinda disturbed me a little. But I guess that is why I don’t run a ranch! I don’t know how much I like the premise of this show. However I like that it does shows some just how hard it is to get that steak to your dinner plate!
On top of this National Geographic Channel Canada has started running new epis of A Dog’s Life! So I have been filling my time with that.
Not much else I have been watching except Pretty Little Liars! Which I have been pretty engrossed in.
I am so waiting for my Housewives to come back, NYC, NJ and DC all start in September as does Tori’s third season.
They’ve traded table flipping for the Whitehouse! LOL!!!!
Well, some of you know that my Grandpa has been in the hospital. We found out in early July that he had an aneurism in his aorta. Scary talk! So he went for some tests and then ended up in the hospital for a week, four blood transfusions, surgery, where we were told he was luckier than a lottery winner to be alive seeing as the aneurism had ruptured and re-sealed itself. He is now recovering very well, eating broth, jello and doing the things one does when they eat and drink! He is moving along with no effects at this point and I want to thank all of you for your well wishes and hopes and prayers!
So Summer is officially half over! Boooo! No not really I can’t wait for the hot, hot, heat (isn’t that a band or something) to go somewhere else. I love autumn! I have a surprise due on Hallowe’en…. Yeah can’t tell you yet! But the faster it comes the happier I will be!
Want to see the new movie Cats and Dogs the Revenge of Kitty Galore! May have to go on my own James is nooooottt interested and after making him choose between the wrecking yard and Eclipse… I don’t think I should push it!
I have to say James has been a rock during all of this Grampa stuff. On Friday night I finally realized that the surgery on Saturday could have me planning and attending a funeral, I called James and work and started balling so he rushed home and we talked it through and although I was not totally settled it was a help for me! I so love that I have someone who can deal with my Anxiety!
So in a couple days and I am off to la cottage! I cannot wait! I am so excited. Just we three, my little family. No one else! Kitties are getting baby-sat! I hate leaving them but they don’t do well outside of their home! Nanny will be taking care of them! 
Anyway. Busy, at work, busy at home, busy TV, busy doggie, busy James, busy kitties. Haven’t done much else lately.
When back from the cottage will have to start catching up with all the friendly types! We are missing the Scarborough Rib Fest this year! Booooooo! But I would rather wake up to the lovely scenery in the pictures above! Ahhh, some of my best memories are at the cottage. Scott and my Dad trying to knock the wasp’s nest down while a little intoxicated after Thanksgiving Dinner. Hmmmm, Wesley trying to drown me in the lake when I was about six. Summers spent running free with Wes and Teresa never-changing out of my bathing suit or brushing my hair. Living on Cheese sandwiches and Pop Shoppe pop while hiking and picking raspberries. Our parents didn’t know where we were and never cared.
We would walk around to the Marina when Honour and Mike Burke owned it, and swim off the dock while the adults drank “purple milkshakes…” They would put the juke box on. Sleepovers at the Calamusa’s cottage! Man it was a good time! As my Grandfather gets older I fear the cottage will be sold and I really don’t want someone else living my memories! They are mine. As the sign above the oil heater used to say. “Dis is our place… De laughing place!” It is ours… And man did we laugh in it! So I am going for a week and we will have our own memories as a family! Yeah!
See you when I am back! Bonne Semaine!
