Tick tock, tick tock……
Time is moving at warp speed. We leave in exactly 22 sleeps. So many things on the to do list which seem to take more time than normal. And I have so many photos to share with you. But first I must share our final visit with Susie & Roger, last Thursday the 22nd.
As I was strapped for time I chose to make an appetizer that only took twenty minutes to prepare or so said the recipe. Plus I had all the ingredients except for the phyllo pastry.
By the time I figured out how to work with the phyllo ( which was a huge mess ), unthaw the wild shrimp, peel and cook it as well as make the cheese filling I was very close to 3 hours of prep time. Not the best presentation but they were tasty. However I will not be repeating that recipe. Not easy to find frozen phyllo cups.
We had another great evening together.
The girls were interested in all the smells coming from the table. They did get some carrot and cucumber but that was it.
Cute.
Cuter.
The cutest of them all.
It was a love in. Look at those flapping years.
Ciela is enjoying every moment. In fact we all enjoyed the visit. Hopefully the next time we see them it will be on the Isla in a year or two. They will fly over. I can hardly wait. Safe travel my friends.
We saw our friends Tuesday and Thursday yet the best sunset was the evening in between.
A few days ago Colin was looking for his second Jeep fob – I can’t remember why. That is when I noticed that my second Lexus fob was also missing!! So we spent a good 30 minutes looking for the missing key fobs. I went thru my purse four times as Colin thought I was the culprit. Then he checked both vehicles. We kept searching and searching.
After a long time Colin lifted the lid to replace it on the box ( which we picked up in one of our trips to India) where we store keys. Well I just have to wonder who put the lid over the two “missing” key fobs. Twas not me. Missing fobs now found.
This stool is placed between our driving chairs in the RV and the bright dog bed was sitting on top of that piece of plywood on top of the cushion. But it kept sliding all over the place.
A few weeks ago, Colin took the bottom of the stool off and actually attached a larger piece of plywood on top of it.
He then was able to screw the original bottom on and now we have more support that will not move when the bed is on top. We also place a piece of non skid mat between the wood and the dog bed.
In real time, today, I had my right leg veins treated. OUCH!! Seriously in all the years I have done this, today was rather painful. She was using ultrasound to find a particular vein. Over 65 needles. I used to do the left leg the next day and then I had to wear stockings on both legs for a week. Way too hot to do that. So the left leg is next week.
Saw this the other day. Seaside, Oregon had a huge doxie meet up earlier in September. 350 people and 250 dachshunds. Guess where we are going next September? Along with many other Kelowna doxie families. Can you imagine?

What wonderful visits with your friends! I love the “There comes a time in life”; it is so full of wisdom. I do not like a lot of drama in my life – it is just too draining. Lucky to enjoy my spouse and best friend each day. Will be so excited to follow your trip to Mexico and we are excited for our trip to Mazatlan in January.
Yes those words are full of wisdom. I don’t like drama but it seems to happen to us. We are so looking forward to seeing you in Mazatlan. Special hugs to Rex and to yourself.
The girls look they are totally involved in the conversation while your company is there. Very cute!
I think that food was part of the motivation. But they only get a few veggies and no other people food.
Seaside, Oregon, has been one of our favorite vacation spots for years. We used to spend a weekend taking the train from Minneapolis to Portland then rent a car to drive to Seaside. We spent Sunday through Thursday nights at the Seaside Beach Club then the following weekend taking the train back home. All that was before we bought our motorhome, of course. The beach at Seaside is wonderful! If you ever get a chance to be there for the 4th of July fireworks, do that. Families and friends dig bunkers into the sand for protection from the wind while watching the fireworks. Amazing to see!
Haha I enjoyed the fob mystery, too funny. The appetizers looked wonderful, but I agree with you, way too much work and time. It looks like a great time was had by all.
Yes a great time was had by all. So glad that it was not my fault re the lost fobs.
Oh oh. What a great looking table of food. And the 20 minute shrimp appetizers look gorgeous. What a JOB. At least all ended well, and it looks as if everyone is having a great time.
Never again but we did have a great time.
Your appie looked very good!
Oh my goodness, you are wonderful entertainers, and the dogs providing chocolate love. I sure would love to go to Oregon! We’ll have to try to get in a couple visits before you go.
Honestly Heather I am already worn out and we are out every day in the week ahead. Oregon is a lovely dream to aspire to.
Another great visit, appetizers with the best snuggles. We just got back to our Condo on Vancouver Island after our 3 week holiday.. Safe travels..Enjoy Maz !
Only thing missing on the Isla will be you.
