Was wondering why little or no comments on my blog, then realized no one has the blog
address, hmmm. guess that could be a reason.
First real frost of the season, last year came and killed our tomatoes 1st week of September.
Going out to the golf course today for maybe last hurrah of year. Somehow, mind protects
itself from the knowledge of upcoming severance from my favorite hobby. It (my mind)
really doesn't seem to care whether I go or not. This is either very scary or very good!

Hoping to see my grandsons soon, but guess I'd better let the Mommy and Daddy know
I'm coming!

who didn't see it coming

Watching the stock market fiasco today, why is everyone so surprized. It's been a certainty for
ages. House prices at ridiculous levels, cars costing what homes used to cost. Every other ad on
TV tells people, "go out and charge it!" Don't pay for 2 years, fact that you'll end up paying
on something that is probably already worn out doesn't matter. Just keep charging!
If you can't make it from paycheck to paycheck, don't worry, for 20% of it's worth, we'll cash
your pay cheque ahead for u.
We're not much better up here in Canada. My generation will be the first in our knowledge to leave their children with a lower standard of living than we have.

Learn what you can about the candidates for the upcoming election and use for your vote.
If you don't you don't deserve to have a vote.

2nd torture session

Survived night 2 of various forms of exercise intended to humiliate and cause great pain.
It's embarrassing to have your exercise ball shoot out from under u and hit the person
doing there thing next to u.
Yesterday had awesome day, having lunch with 2 of my children. Missed having 1st born
there. We were all thinking of u!

New TV Fall Shows

So Tuesday Night....2 hours of watching Dancing with the stars (take that lightly) one dance, yap yap, 7 7 7 =21 points and aren't we excited, now 5 min commercial. It was a drawn out mess.
then we get 2 hours of Biggest Loser, snore. Lastly we managed to fit in "House." Can Dr House get any meaner, and self indulgent, Yes He Can.
All in all an evening of 82 year old Cloris Leachman showing slight dementia, Dancing.
A Bunch of Obese People crying about their terrible life that caused them to eat a mountain of food a day, while scheming to get rid of the people who need to lose weight the most.
Dr. House, who Boo Hoo can't get rid of his feelings for Wilson, and as usual in the last 4 minutes miraculously saves the patient, followed by his strained look of "Nobody Wuv's Me".
Memorable Night overall.

Ouch

What fun, entering into a fitness program for 1st time in 15-20 years. Exercise with a twist,
a giant rubber ball that you are supposed to balance your b0dy on while doing weights!
Try going from sitting position and walking!!! you way off the ball until only your head rests
on the ball and your feet on the ground. Other body parts are to remain off the floor and
stomach to be sucked in.
Try gripping a giant ball between your knees and squeezing, there were giant balls popping
out from everywhere to bounce off the head of the person beside you.
But, we survived the first episode, back again Wednesday. Funniest part is seeing women trying
to get from car to gym in one trip, hanging on to purse, ball, weights, exercise mat and
dignity.

blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

It's Monday am. It's cold and damp outside and we have just had to put the fire on. No fire
we'd be back in bed til dinner. I hate winter, used to love it when I skiied, now I just hate it.
Our little town is not exactly a place for fast pace living and excitement.
I am starting a fitness class tonight, shows how bored I have become. It calls for a ball, some
stretchy stuff and a couple of 2 lb. balls. After trying the ball once or twice, I think I should
take my motorcycle helment with me to wear!

Definitely need some infustion of energy from our grandkids! Time to think about a trip
below the snow belt.

Anyway, did ok at the Fall Classic at Chinook Cove. Mets some new people and had a
good time.

Why I Hate The Emmy's

It is 4:34pm The TV has been tuned to the stupid Emmy catwalk since 2:pm. I don't really give two farts about who is wearing what!!! Wifey has stared Vacantly at the screen forever.....I want someone to walk down the Emmy Line and say "This Little Thing, Oh I bought it a Walmart!!!!"
I am sending out this message, does anyone in Inter-Land want to split 3 cord of wood? I will supply the Beer! Man I hate splitting it.
Whoops Wifey is upset I am typing on HER? Blog.....Off to try and take over the damn widget!

winters here

it's 6:45 am. i don't do 6:45 am anymore. Its raining outside and they are expecting up to
60 km winds...and I'm off to resgister the men for the Men's Fall Classic. This means I'll be
sitting outside freezing my butt off for 2 to 3 hours. Ok, so i volunteer to do this every year,
i get money back from what i pay for Ladies Fall Classic and it's usually fun, so no more whining.
Yesterday was a hoot, golfed with 3 people I'd never met before. That's half the fun of golfing
meeting new people. My partner was a skookum hitter. She got 2 birds and a deuce.
i got runner up low net, so not complaining.

what peeves me the most

U.S. taking this long to realize that they are just as vulnerable as any other empire in the
history of man.

police picking up "Prolific offenders" and seeing them walk out of jail

"Known Drug Houses" our candy assed law system that does give the Police the
ability to deal with these idiots.

U must Have Great spelling if You live in Warthog Country

perfect autumn day

Sun Peaks, absolutely stunning scenery, mixed with cruelly narrow fairways, giant gulleys,
huge rocks, streams hidden in dips right in front of greens...27 degree temperature, good
friends and the mandatory "Cart."
2 pars on front nine, back 9...well we all took several "mulligans."
see you next year Sun Peaks!

Don't mess with me

Don't mess with this Nana, have grandkids in Karate!
Right not my mind is overflowing with things I'm supposed to be doing.
So I'm doing the only sensible thing, I'm going to pop the cork and let
everything swish out of my brain, whatever I'm left with is what I should
be concerned about.

ps to Cpt. Dumbass, I'm golfing Sun Peaks tomorrow and the sun is going to shine!

GOLF is definitely a 4 letter word. One day you can't do anything wrong, the rest of the
year you can't do anything right! So whats to do, keep entering the tournaments for the
fun, door prizes, company and food!

the WOW factor

We have found that Barkerville in September does not meet the "WOW" standard.
The only things that were really open were the Refuse Dumps, funny, how one gets
to look like the others after your first few. Won't bother buying a Season Pass to
the Dumpsters next year!
Wells, scary little town. Some incredibly bright (purple, yellow, magenta) house, the
rest looked like they've been there since dawn of time. Our hotel, bright, clean and
cheery, but QUIET, no TV, no radio, did have electricity. Great meal and met some
really nice people from Scotland. However, had to vacate cafe by 8 pm as town was
ready for sleep. They would roll up the sidewalks if they had any.
1 1/2 hr. Barkerville
1 1/2 hr. Quesnel for that we drove and drove and drove and drove
