I have been meaning to update this but I keep getting distracted (why hello, ADD!) by things like schlepping my kid, hub, and cats all around the town AND um reading and OH YEAH, visiting my favorite websites. One or two of you will have noticed that I spent an inordinate amount of time on facebook this morning sending silly gifts and taking really silly quizzes. Apparently I have eyes like a TARSIER ( a lemur looking thing) and I am most like the Cylon De'anna on Battlestar Galactica. I have sent my friends gifts of sock monkeys, lip gloss, good karma, and hamsters. I encourage you all to join if you haven't already; I need more friends to send gifts to as I find I quite like this part of the whole shebang.
Frankly I was un peu disappointed in the low volume of comments regarding my last post of funny signs which I thought was HILARIOUS. I even considered allowing Kirby ( the cat, yes, that one) to write this month's blog. Believe me, he wants to do it. Perhaps next time.
It is getting very hot here now. I know some of you will be jealous that we have already been out many times to sandy white beaches that are only accessible by boat, but don't fret; soon we will be otherwise confined indoors during daylight hours. Yes, the temperature will rise, the wind will drop and the humidity will increase. So if you were planning a visit, it would be best to postpone till, let's say, October, at the earliest. But do let me know.
Naturally, we are planning some escapes. Robert is going to an international Boy Scout camp in Switzerland in July which by some lucky coincidence, is taking place in the near vicinity and at the same time as the Montreux Jazz Festival. I know. So we will drop him off in the Alps, roll leisurely down to the area around Lausanne and take in some really good music for a few days. There are some truly awesome people playing this year but the festival lasts a good two weeks and we are only there for a few days. I decided to pass on Babyshambles (I mean, who knows if Pete Doherty will even be there) but did manage to score tickets to Return To Forever with Chick Corea, Al DiMeola, and Stanley Clarke. I just really can't believe my luck. While I am sad I won't be able to see Chaka Khan, this more than makes up for it. And since I know it can be difficult to tell when I'm kidding, I was pulling your leg about Babyshambles. Though they are scheduled to play.
There is still time to book flights if you want to join us. We like to run with the pack!
Bob enjoying a cold Red Bull at the Red Bull Air Races. It's nice to have a boat.
Is this a religious message or simply exasperation?
Oh, and I believe I WILL have the special gucci bag finish, please. Thank you!
Yes, this is a truck filled with goats. In keeping with today's automotive theme.
Well, maybe the tomatoes aren't doing so well this year, but then there's this.I think that's it for now. Kirby can add anything I forget.
Love,
Jaimie
