Oh, I am so glad it is Friday. It has been a very long and slow day. It just is not very busy between terms. But next week I am off with the family. We are camping for our 4th year in a row. Everyone is really looking forward to it though I think a few people will miss the wifi.
Picked some books up at the library. I really must find Detta's kobo. I am sure it is on my desk but there is a foot high of "stuff", I mean "very important stuff" on it. My four books consist of 2 hardback and 2 paperbacks. If only I could find the kobo I could have downloaded these books and it would have been much lighter. Then again I do have a google tablet, I am just not very good at using this technology. My children just laugh at me! The bunny did eat the power cable, anyways that is my excuse!

August Long Weekend
Had a wonderful long weekend. We spent Friday & Saturday at Anne & Al's cottage in the county. Went to Sandbanks Provincial Park on Saturday, it was quite busy. The waves were great but it was not particularly hot and it was too windy for the umbrellas, hence sitting in the shade.
Upon leaving the beach, Lizzy announced that we had to find a chip wagon. She was in the mood for chips which made us all hungry. Not too far up the road we found a fabulous chip wagon called Urban Herb on the Curb. They had seasoned fries and sweet potato fries which were delicious. The chips were served up with mayonnaise sauces, even a horse radish one! Well worth the stop!
There was also a movie marathon of Harry Potter. We almost made it to the end of #6. I think I will have to go and buy the set. Everyone really enjoyed watching the movies.
But unfortunately on Saturday, something broke in the septic tank. The neighbour came over and told Al. Anne and Al spent all day fixing the problem. But they were all cleaned up by the time we came back from the beach.
Hugh, the boys and I headed back to Toronto on Sunday. Detta stayed with Anne, Al and the girls till Tuesday. She had a great time going out for Thai food, kayaking and shopping. We spent the rest of the weekend just lying around and relaxing.

Knitting Again
I have started knitting again. I am doing little shawlettes as I call them. I have a lot of beautiful yarns which I never will be able to use all for myself so I have started making all my Christmas presents. At least for my sisters, nieces and girlfriends. I will post some pictures over the next few days.
I have been learning lace patterns. Some of them are so easy especially once I have memorized the pattern. At the moment I am knitting a pattern called Balance from the Yin Yang Collection by Angela Tong. I can't think of the name of the yarn but it is in really bright colours.
