Dutchess is here to stay now. I’ll try not to over do it on photos of her-lol-
Sunbathing in the morning. We like to sit on the patio together.
Waiting for my Dad to come back. Little did she know he was on his way to Midland.

So my dad has been here and gone. I was just laughing to myself about how I can’t handle him leaving. Last night he wasn’t even out of the driveway before I was snotting myself all over Kev’s shirt. It’s funny to me because not that long ago, I couldn’t wait to have him leave or myself be gone. He’s had some life changes over the past few months, and they really have been for the better. I think for one fo the first times since I was a litle girl I didn’t have to prompt him into saying I love you. Being Daddy’s Little Girl sucks. -lol-
Most days got off to a slow start. Something that has never happened before with my dad. I dunno if he’s deciding to be more laid back or what, but lateness was never his thing. They showed up pretty late in the eve Thursday due to pokiness and Toronto rush hour. Friday he was late due to pokiness, we pretty much just sat around and talked.. then went to the barn to see Flame. Flame was a good boy and didn’t act up, but then again it was smokin hot this weekend -lol- After that we stopped at Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo. That place is freaking COOL. They have so many skeery things, and OMG GINORMOUS SNAKES.. Like, eat your children snakes! That’s how big they are! Spiders, leezards, and SCHOOOGE aligators. We got to see a lot of them fed. After Ray’s we went out to dinner. We ate at the Pelican Grill here in town just off of Bank street across from Local’s. WOW. Place was fanatastic. I had fish and chips, and it was seriously the best tasting stuff I had ever had. Dad had maple glazed smoke salmon which was deviine smelling, and kev had lobster something or another. I gave the lobster another go. It was a definate forgetaboutit for me -lol- I’ll keep trying. Eventually I will find somewhere that makes it and it tastes good.
and she’s sniffed just about everything in the house.. tomorrow am she can investigate the yard and have a walk.
my dad and i will be heading downtown first it sounds like.. and then out to see flame in the afternoon. it’s supposed to be killer hot though, so hopefully it will slow flame down a bit.
too much to do, too little time.
still left….
- garden
- patio cleaning
- laundry folding
- den cleaning
- driveway sweeping
- curtains
- towel rack
- move skid with K to backyard (dang thing is heavy!)
ETA: 7-8pm est. and i just have this disgusting feeling that they will be early. i know this, because well, 23 years of living with him has taught me that he’s a rotten jerk like that -lol-
edit: so far so good. kev is mowing the lawn and then going for a haircut.. imma gonna sweep the driveway and make sure everything is ok.
edit#2: Got a phone call about an hour or so ago.. we have an ETA of 10pm. Apparently he got stuck in Toronto because of an accident.
I’ll be busy cleaning today and then spending the weekend with my Dad and Teh Dawg.
They should be here around 7 this eve.. Friday is a barn/museam day i think.. saturday upper canada village/barn.. sunday i have no idea other than the barn.. he leaves on monday am..
i hope i get everything sorted in time before he gets here..
i hope flame isn’t a total asshat.. he probably will be, because i’ll be all uptight and freaked about him being good or something. ugh.
