Food Dreams


I never used to be a dreamer. And I mean dreamer as in a person who remembers her dreams, not the other kind. However, lately I have been having very vivid dreams, I read that can happen with pregnancy. What is funny is the topic of my dreams, in particular large amounts of food. The other night I dreamed that I was eating a giant mountain of stampot. Then, last night I dreamed that I was eating MacDonalds breakfast sandwiches in great quantities. Some little girl kept handing me egg sandwich after egg sandwich and I was devouring them. No surprise that I woke up starving! The funny part is that I haven't been able to stomach eggs since pregnancy. I took the dream as a sign and made a delcious egg sandwich for breakfast and had no problem eating it. Maybe there is a sign about gender in the dream too...?

Summer Time and the Living is Easy






Summer finally arrived with sunny days and plus 30 weather - yippee! Kurt keeps reminding me that I may not complain about the extremely hot weather as I griped all winter long (all six months of it) about the cold.

School ended smoothly, my kids were awesome right up until the end, their trip to Sudbury was fun and injury free, all the little things I have to do at the end of the year got done! And now it is time to relax...here is a taste of what we have been up to in this glorious season.

We had the opportunity to go to a friend's cottage - still too cold for me to swim (that was before the super hot weather set in) but warm enough to soak up the sun. Kurt hung up the hammock he got me for christmas, I have used it every day since I have been on holidays! We have been barbequing every night. We even made it to Wasaga beach for the sunset the other night - so gorgeous. Ice cream and a walk around the marina.Watching Kurt and friends play baseball in the Christian mens league at night, followed by campfires and beers, well tea for me. Now we just need to go camping, I am aiming to try interior camping at Algonquin in August, hopefully six months isn't too pregnant and Kurt's knee is totally healed. Ahhh summer, I love you.
