Hello everyone and happy Sunday! I'm amazed at how bright it is now early in the morning. I just love it! Russell and I seem to have a new internal clock...5 am is our wake up time. Not sure if it's an age related thing LOL! Of course, our boys wake up when we do and they love it. Let the fun begin early they say!
This past week was good and hectic. Two major events took place: the Canadian Election and the season ending for our glorious Montreal Canadiens. Although the Habs loss was crushing, I couldn't be more proud of what they accomplished this season 👏 See you in the Fall boys!
We are busy getting ready for our Italian getaway, just 17 days away now. We are taking care of a number of things outside in preparation for the landscaping work later in June. We got approval from the city to take down the two apple trees that we have on the side of our house. Those trees have been nothing but a nuisance. We will also remove two shrubs by our garage door and replace them with something nicer. That work will be done before we go away, likely this coming week.
Our outdoor coffee table arrived and Russell put it together...it was as easy as putting together Ikea furniture LOL! We are quite pleased with it, especially the storage space that it offers. Merlot was quick to jump on it and make himself comfortable. Our boys are happy that deck time has arrived. Not too many squirrels around these days but plenty of birds. They are fascinated by them!
In between being busy doing stuff, Russell smoked his first batch of cheese of the season. It will be all mellow and ready to eat when we return from our trip. We smoked Gouda, mild Cheddar and Provolone. Yummy!
Russell got himself a few pairs of shoes for our trip, all Birkenstocks. They are comfortable. I also got myself a new pair of Birks, with a bit of a platform heel. High heels are a thing of the past for me. We started figuring out what clothes to bring...I think that Russell's suitcase will weigh more than mine!
Those are my little news for today. Have a great week everyone!
